As a child of the original series, of course I watched the premiere of the new one. I have to say I was disappointed. The CW is trying too hard to make 90210 like Gossip Girl (which, admittedly, I love) for the West Coast. 90210 isn't supposed to be Gossip Girl. It's a fish-out-of-water story, and while the Wilsons may be from Kansas, they clearly are not as thrown by their new surroundings as the Walshes were.
To top it all off, I was disappointed with the clothes. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that they didn't pull of the spandex, mom jeans, blazers and flowered frocks of Shannen and Co, but it's like the new class at West Beverly is completely limited in their fashion sense. Either they shop at Chanel or they wear what every other high school student in America does - jeans. I guess I should find this refreshing, but I was really looking forward to some West Coast style (believe me, it IS different than the East Coast) to compare to GG.
I'll give the show another shot and hope that it lives up to my expectations, but in the meantime, let's focus on what really matters - the clothes.
