The new 90210 series is a hit
When I first found out they were going to create a new Beverly Hills 90210 show, I just new it would be a ratings disaster. I figured no one would watch the new cast because its hard to step into the shoes of the originally cast members.
However, I guess I was wrong.
When the new 90210 debuted on the CW network, it garnered 4.9 million viewers, making it the highest-rated debut in the networks history.
As a result, the network has decided to pick up the show for a full season. I think the high ratings can partly be attributed to some of the old cast members who have returned during this season, such as Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth.
Another notable cast member is Lori Loughlin, better known as Aunt Becky on “Full House.”
If 4.9 million people like the show, then maybe I should give it a chance and start watching it too.
One thing that has impressed me is unlike the original Beverly Hills 90210 series, this new show actually has some color in it. They cast one black actor (Tristan Wilds) on the show.
Although they should have added a little more diversity, it’s still a huge improvement over the original cast.
