90210 Sucks
And now I know why I didn’t watch 90210 in middle/high school and why I won’t be watching the new series…
- Shenae Grimes is the actress who plays Annie Wilson, who I guess is supposed to be the star of the show. The girl looks more anorexic then Allegra Versace and I’m not particularly fond of her face (that sounds mean, sorry) - she also just seems a little weak to carry the show in general (but that might be from malnutrition). And the thing is, the producers clearly want people talking about her weight - they even show her pushing around a salad the size of a quarter during a cafeteria scene… I’m actually becoming more disgusted with each new scene. Can anyone give this girl a frappuccino, or a donut, or something? Hey! I’ve got a great idea - someone should invite her to a show at the tents, then she could take advantage of the brilliant health booth the CFDA is setting up!
- The ‘pig prank’ they had the boys do was totally lifted from a real prank that probably hundred of kids have done, which was also shown in MTV’s new series High School Stories
- The overall dialog and plot is crap
- And do they wear Forever 21 in Beverly Hills? And what’s with the hair? Stylist, anyone?!
I’ll take The Hills over 90210 any day - seriously, I’d rather watch a full hour of The Hills with Spencer Pratt sitting on his Stephanie’s couch doing nothing but growing out his scraggly beard than sit through another episode of 90210.

I didn’t get through the entire first episode. I decided helping a friend move would be more fun.
I got into the original series in high school. And, even though the actors in the original were all pretty white kids, they looked and seemed more real than the cast of the new version. Sometimes they had frizzy hair, sometimes they gained a few pounds on screen. I have a hard time believe the genetically engineered teenage androids they have on the new show would be capable of gaining a few pounds or even having unkempt eyebrows.

I want to know how Beverly High got the rights to perform Spring Awakening. That’s still on Broadway! Duncan Sheik’s kid must go there.
