    This show is really finding it's feet, it's coming out of the shadows to not be a spin-off and be it's own show. At first glance it seems cliche ridden but the story is speeding up, as are the newbie characters. This show has really grown on me & my friends. I never watched the original 90210 and i don't intend to.

    The show does have too many characters to keep up with but once you get past all that it does have the same vibe as the original. I do have a slight problem with believing that much like the original any of the kids are "15".... They could have tried harder with casting to make that a little more believable.

    I'm young enough to have never seen the original 90210, so i watched with a completely fresh mind, and it really wasn't as bad as the critics seem to make out. Its certainly going to keep on my list of shows to watch this season.

    Not horrible, but certainly not something I would watch again.

    The ONLY good part of the show was Brenda.

    Dylan got Kelly and NOW Brenda pregnant? They still hang out at the Peach Pit? They still go to West Beverly? Are these people still in High School? WTF? It's like they haven't moved on dispite the fact that they graduated 15 years ago. These girls are complete morons if they've been chasing after the same guy for over 15 years and he ends up knocking them both up. Get over him already. It's time to grow up and move on to the new folks cause the old gang is still stuck in the 90s. Degrassi brought back their old stars with grace and dignity. These two are in the exact place where they left off. How can you counsel and teach some one when you've never learned to move on yourself. These girls need help. Expand

    I liked it a lot and especially the family bonding and connecting -- great kids with teachable attitudes.

    Definitely better than I expected. It is somewhat cheesey but I was expecting that, the original had it's own amount of cheesiness. Better than some of the other teen dramas I have tried to watch.

    Love this show. I will not say better than original, but the entire series premiere was fantastics. It deserves a 10. Every single actor and actress was amazing, the reunion of Kelly and Brenda...FLAWLESS and who couldnt forget that Jessica Walters so funny. Overall great show.

    For a first episode it was quite surprising especially the openning scene at the school. Too many story lines but understandable. Great to see some familair faces and links to past - Hanna Zuckerman - Aaron Silver - I am anticipating more of the old gang with a strong edge for the new cast. The two Canadian actors were great!

    The Worst Show Of 2008! Crappy Cast, Acting, And Scripts.. This Is Not The Same As The Old Days On 90's 90210... The Only Good Thing About This 90210 Is Brenda Is Back.....

    90210, the CW remake that premiered last night, is pretty bad.

    Where the original show used to be a leader, so far the spinoff is a follower.

    Well, it wasn't "Masterpiece Theatre," and it wasn't outright terrible.
