This is a pointless article, your essentially saying every teen drama is copying story lines from Beverly Hills 90210 when in fact there's only so many story lines a teen drama can do, and sadly their all the same. TV Fanatic, get rid of pointless writers like this please.

Yes, you are essentially correct.
But honestly, the target audience for this show that it is focusing on, are the teenagers of my generation.
The original show you're talking about and referring to, was merely based on people 10-15 years older than me.
Kids today like watching dramas to forgot about their own problems. True fact. So, you cannot really expect much.
The original show went for 10 seasons - 296 episodes. How can this show actually use anything if the original already used it all?

i enjoy both 90210s. i prefer the old one, but what can you do. I don't like Life Unexpected and Hellcats. i personally find them boring. GG and Nikita are very good.
I personally think the CW needs ideas that dont come from books or old TV shows. Hellcats is a book. so is TVD and GG.

The new 90210 is dreadful. This comes from someone who watched it for two seasons and finally gave up. This isn't even because of the cast. I don't like the story lines at all. This is nothing like the old 90210 and I wish they never took the name of it. It wouldn't be so painful if it was another show but using the name of the iconic series.

This show is dreadful. I check in every now and then to remind myself how cringe worthy every storyline is and how painful it is to watch Annalynne Mcord "act". The wrting is all over the place. And continuity? I don't think anyone on the writing staff has heard of it. It's sad to me becuase there are so many other great shows that get cancelled and this garbage is still being made.

I was a big fan of the original BH 90210 series. I usually don't watch the new one (it's just not the same), but when I caught part of last Monday's episode, when Naomi was first tied to a chair and then hit that guy who tied her up, I immediately thought "this is such a Kelly storyline". You are right, the new show seems to "borrow" from the old and I might just start watching it...

ok fair enough i got a little to over the top about the hole thing but it just seams that you don't really give this show a chance last weeks episode was brill and Annalynne and Jessica s were amazing in it sorry but i think its better the over the top gossip girl or boring life unexpected or bad acted hellcats thats all i meant sorry again for going over the top :) i do love this site
Sorry about the spelling mistakes, I was in my blackberry and do not check calligraphy. I hope and is well understood.

I am a big fan of the Original 90210 and i am 19 years old, i started watching it on Sony every day and animax, and i started watching this show at fiste season and then some episodes of season 2 and then just 0 episodes of season 3 because its to boring, i realy dont mind if they dont know how to act but at least give them some good stoylines, and for wath it mathers they dont even look or live like rich ppl. And you are going to say that if i dont like the show why em i in this seccion? i open TVFANATIC.Com and i just could not resist to tell how do i see this show and iven i can give them some good new storylines just ask and il give them FOR FREE. This show just got boring at all, i am a fan of Gossip Girl and the show got a little boring to but at least some characters are intence on the episodes, but this show its just the twilight zone and the wors of all? they are going to have a season 4 :s ... --!

@PeterW: Didn't I say I actually LIKE the idea of copying old storylines? I think this is the angle the show should have taken from the start, offering nuggets to former viewers while coming across as fresh to new ones.
I backed up my argument with some facts/references, so please try to do the same in a coherent rebuttal instead of just cursing me out. I appreciate any and all disagreement, as long as it's respectful.
