ITs Fall TV season 2009!!

And I'm back!!

Well, at least I am hoping to be back. With all the new TV starting over the next few weeks I am feeling motivated to get my TV Talk on.Its a great excuse to blog and a great excuse to talk about my opinions of things on TV.

Up first...the new season of 90210
(First, let me say that I do hope they make amends with their attempt to break up David and Donna last season. Even just the implication of such a thing is just WRONG and I want clear indication that all is well in their lives at some point this season!!)

Now, up first I must comment on the new theme song/opening. I actually viewed it online earlier today and it is definitely a much better and fresh, fitting opening for this show. Its catching but still fits with the old school charm that the original show had. It seems like they are trying more of the structure of filming that the original had.

I am only about 10 minutes in but I have some serious questions.....
1-Why did the main family move? Their new diggs seem to "fit" better and it looks like we won't be seeing grandma now that she "has a show in Vegas" and I think that is a wise choice because she didn't add a thing to the show. A better explaination better be coming...
2-Annie is still a brat. She was a brat last season and she is a like a bad brenda in her dark years wanna be.
3-What the heck happened to the Beverly Beach club?? I know things would have been updated but a pool and no beach scene? really??
4-The recycling of the Valerie and the married man at the beach club story with Naomi (a teenager) is just stupid. It better have a point and go some where good.
5-I like the idea of Naomi, Silver and Adrianna as tight girlfriends, it just seems a little out of place with Silver but I guess she had to fit in somewhere. If you didn't watch last season it won't seem as weird nad I know they made amends but it still seemed a bit odd at first, especially since Silver WAS friends with Annie.
6-Annie is gonna crack and its either going to be really good TV or its going to be a great, easy way to get rid of dead weight on a show that doesn't need it.
7-as the show progresses I am happy to now see the beach at the beach club:) I guess the pool was just an addition (and gives another place to show off people in their bathing suits.)
8-New guy Teddy, going to be interesting although for me it will be a hard sell since I saw him on Days of Our Lives last summer and he was just an awful actor and character. Hopefully this will be a step up for him!
9-I really like Dixon and Silver...hopefully they will have some sort of "donna and david-esque" long term relationship.
10-Well it looks like we are rid of Ethan too. Good call. I vaguely remember hearing they dropped him at the end of last season. He offered nothing as a character and the actor was just ok in my opinion. He wasn't given a lot to work with so it just never seemed to "fit". Enjoy Montana!

It looks like it has potential to be a good season. Since they are not force-feeding back story and they lightened the load of who we should care about a little I am more interested in watching than last season, and I didn't get to see one original cast member. I still think some ties to the old will be good but we will see if these group of kids can reel me in like the original series.

Ah....90210!!! Comfort TV!!
