Wait, what?
Today, the CW ordered the pilot of a "90210" spinoff of sorts penned by Rob Thomas, creator of "Veronica Mars," and executive produced by two members of the "Veronica Mars" producing team, Dan Etheridge and Jennifer Gwartz.In this contemporary version, the Walshes have been replaced by a central family consisting of a grandmother who was a huge star in the 1970s, her do-gooder son and his athletic wife, and their two teenagers. Their 16-year-old daughter is described as an aspiring and talented actress, and their adopted son is also 16. He's highly intelligent, but with lingering behavioral issues. The pilot will be directed by Mark Piznarski, who has directed episodes of "Gossip Girl," "Friday Night Lights" and "Veronica Mars." The network will begin casting the project soon.

David's dad couldn't keep his pants zipped up (choice line, "I have trouble/problems with monogamy") god, Mel was so gross. I remember thinking his fidelity problems stretched credibility--who were all these women willing to sleep with him? Women who loved mullets and dentrifices?

mullets and dentrifices
There's a blog title.

Season Three is probably the best acted and most realistic, if you care about that sort of thing. It sucks that the DVD couldn't license the original music; I miss hearing "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" blasting while Kelly and Dylan are snuggling in front of a campfire, both thinking about their friend in Paris making googly eyes at Dean Cain.

Anyway, somebody explain to me how this new thing is a spinoff.

I now have the explanation:
It's happening! It's REALLY happening!The CW has confirmed that the spin-off of "Beverly Hills, 90210" will be on its fall lineup. As if there was ever a question, but we're excited anyway.The contemporary version of the 1990s FOX hit will focus on a family that reflects today's celebrity culture: a grandmother (Jessica Walter) who was a huge star in the 1970s and now likes to hit the bottle a bit; her son, who is the new Beverly Hills high school principal, and his ex-Olympic athlete of a wife (Lori Loughlin) who are both thirtysomething; and their two teenagers. The daughter (Shenae Grimes) is -- what else? -- an aspiring actress. The son is a brainiac with behavioral issues.But it wouldn't be possible to have a spin-off without a visit from the ghosts of West Beverly High past. Jennie Garth will be reprising her role as Kelly Taylor. Only this time, she's a guidance counselor at her alma mater. The role is recurring.The rest of the cast includes Ryan Eggold, AnnaLynne McCord, Dustin Milligan, Michael Steger, Jessica Stroup and Tristan Wilds.Asked what the title of the show will be, a CW spokesman said: "90210." We'll take it!

SCANDAL!:
The question is whether this is a really smart or really stupid decision by The CW's boss Dawn Ostroff. I'm told a contract controversy is preventing Tori Spelling from joining that so-called "edgy, contemporary spin-off" of the '90s hit 90210 on the network this fall as planned. Insiders tell me that Tori was hired to reprise her role as fashion boutique owner Donna Martin for just "$10,000-$20,000" per episode. But then Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty were signed for "$35,000-$50,000" a show. When Tori found out her former co-stars were getting paid way more than she was, she got pissed and demanded equal pay. But the network suits have refused. So now my sources tell me that Tori has pulled out of the series, which premieres with a 2-hour special on September 2nd. "She thought she deserved parity, and she's got a point," an insider explained to me.

thirtysomethings with teenage kids? did they have kids when they were 15?
― Shakey Mo Collier, Monday, 11 August 2008 18:35 (fifteen years ago) link
i kind of hated donna and was mad that i might be associated with her since we shared the same last name but these days im kind of in love with tori spelling.

when they were 15 they were in 3rd grade! xp

shakey, have you not seen the soap phenomenon where a 4 y/o character will disappear for a few weeks and return as a 16 y/o?
― sunny successor, Monday, 11 August 2008 18:45 (fifteen years ago) link
Tori Spelling was SO much more tolerable than Jenny Garth and Shannon Doherty by the time of Season Four.

I know its possible it just seems like the window for that to be the case is kinda narrow, esp given the kind of characters we're talking about here (lolz I guess Andrea had a kid right out of high school, right? but she was 45 to begin with haha)

This should be a fun show. I have high hopes anyway. Yep, shakey mo, you have to be a seasoned soap fan to completely ignore the impossibility of a one year old that disappears for a few months and comes back as a teen. It’s just a leap you have to allow your brain to make – kinda like when you’re watching a musical; you have to accept in your head that people really do sing dialogue to each other. It’s all good fun.
