The 90210 Cast Lied to Nylon Magazine

I stomached ten entire minutes of watching the ‘new’ 90210, once again. That’s ten minutes I’d like back, thankyouverymuch. I’m going to use at least ten more minutes* to tell you how bad this show is. It is: SO BAD. SO VERY, VERY BAD. Ugh. My eyes are rolling, rolling, rolling – roooooolling out of their sockets. I still have my Nylon Magazine issue that covered some of the new 90210 cast. Which I giddily pulled out to read now.

Luke Perry < 3

The first thing that made me go ‘huh’ at the article was that back then Tori Spelling was still signed onto the show. Since I don’t care that much about Tori Spelling I never bothered to sift through the rumors, but I assume money was a problem. As in, ‘gimme more’ even though ‘you’re already paying me a ridiculous amount of money that I in no way deserve but gee, I’d really like to give my dog a second bathroom with real diamond chandeliers.’

Jessica Stroup is quoted in this article as saying, “I feel like this show is dong something unprecedented for TV.” REALLY? Really? Has anyone so far seen anything unprecedented for TV? I’ve come to believe they’re covering a lot of issues that the first 90210 explored over ten years ago! Like, wow, how groundbreaking.

Possibly the uh…most unattractive girl on TV, AnnaLynne McCord, said, “It’s very provocative, very racy, very sexy.” Eh. Eh. Eh. It’s not any of those things. Maybe I shouldn’t say how unattractive I think she is since it’s mean, and also she’s a huge fan of guns and has one (if not more). But she also doesn’t read blogs (or so she says), so I’m safe. I think. Maybe I’ll buy some night vision goggles, just in case.

I almost feel bad for Dustin Milligan because he told Nylon, “You knew they were going to be layering these characters and making them real. Not just writing salacious heightened teen-sex mega dramas.” Oh. Man. Again I say…really? SERIOUSLY? Does dear Dustin Milligan realize that he’s currently ON a salacious, heightened, teen-sex, mega drama? Does he know it’s not even any good? Can he get out of his contract? Wait. I’m not his agent, and I don’t even think he’s cute. So, moving on…

Perhaps there is a clue in that according to Nylon, “The new show was picked up by The CW without so much as a frame being shot… That never happens. Ever.” Except apparently when they know that rich teens and lots of sex works for Gossip Girl, so another ‘O.C.’ couldn’t be that bad. (Only it is.) It really pisses me off that horrible shows like this get such excellent treatment while other shows suffer.

Watch anything else – watch paint peel from a wall, anything but 90210. Hell, do what I did and watch some of the original 90210. Luke Perry is still dreamy.

*Yea, it’s been more than ten minutes – rants take time!

I have a new love with Meet Me In the Graveyard, which I talked about over on TenGossip.com! I’ve also updated the SofaChip.com About page, so check that out and tell me if I have any typos No, I really did jazzy it up a tiny bit and hope you guys can start to feel a sense of community and whatnot. You could consider me your therapist for TV (and other things). If you watch a show and cannot believe something that happened and want to vent or squee – come on over here and talk to me! I’m probably bursting at the seams, myself, with the same sorts of feelings.
