    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.… Collapse

    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.....

    The original 90210 is much better, and so you might say I am not thinking subjectively; you're right. Nothing will be like the original show. I agree with some of the other reviewers, it brings nothing new to the table of teen drama.

    Watched sadly 5 episodes for Shena Grimes (Probably spelled wrong but whatever I like her), anyways dont know why Im a guy but I decided to watch this and the original. Normally originals are farless entertaining, good, or real but in this case thats what was different once claimed Beverly Hills turned into the crap fest 90210. This is such a shame that Gossip Girls and 90210 seem to be able to survive. One Tree Hill is more some what realist then 90210. If you want my opinion America doesnt seem how to make a REGULAR teen drama they only know how to make fake (90210), rich (Gossipe Girl), dramatic (Pretty Little Liars), supernatural (Vampire Diaries) shows. America seems to think that a show can't survive without some kind of gimik or angle. Until in 2009 I found Degrassi and said finally then I found out it was a Canadian show. Really if Canada can make a far more better and realist teen drama and last for more then what 30 years America should be ashamed. If you want something real watch Degrassi want something fake watch 9020. It only gets a 2 because Shenna Grimes… Expand

    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.
