Like every other critic in the free world, I was unable to screen the new “90210” in advance, since the producers of the show decided to keep it under wraps and premiere it for everyone at the same time. Due to a scheduling conflict (one of our cars is in the shop, and I needed to pick my wife up from work), I was unable to start viewing it right at 8 PM EST, but when I logged onto my computer before hitting “play” on the TiVo, I spotted the following status update from one of my friends on MySpace:
Christie…thinks the new 90210 blows goats.
Mood: cynical.
Wow. And I thought *I* was bad.
As it happens, I actually rather enjoyed the premiere of “90210,” though it’s probably telling that the adults in the show seem to be about ten times better written than the teenagers.
