For people who were in love with the old “90210,” it might have been a struggle to get into the latest version.
But with the sex, drugs and scandal that appears in the new show, you’ll soon be hooked to this version.
The world famous ZIP code “90210” made its big comeback on the CW network.
Although the zip code, spoiled brats and high school drama remain the same, provocative clothes and sex appeal become more visible throughout the first episode.
You have your beauties and handsome jocks that will catch your eye and cause you to become addicted to their lifestyle every week.
The original show, “Beverly Hills 90210” planted an image in people’s minds about the high class, wealthy lifestyle, in that ritzy area of Beverly Hills. “90210” is no longer just five numbers.
“It’s an image of the good life that teenagers all over the country are drooling over,” Lauren Magill, senior psychology major, said.
Characters such as Kelly Taylor, played by Jenny Garth, make a return for the new season. The characters are all grown up. Kelly is even a guidance counselor at West Beverly High. Brenda, played by Shannen Dogherty, also makes an appearance.
Other stars from the pervious seasons are set to make guest appearances through the season.
Teenagers will be teenagers, and although they may be wearing much less clothing the trouble they are getting into is very similar.
While watching the new “90210,” you get to see what life is like for two teenagers making a move from Kansas to Beverly Hills.
Annie Mills, played by Shenae Grimes, and her brother Dixon, played by Tristan Wilds, show up to Beverly Hills High School, and within a minute of their arrival they both realize that the personalities of people are going to be completely different from their hometown in Kansas.
The father, Harry, played by Rob Estes, and mother, Debbie, played by Lori Loughlin, have decided to move to Beverly Hills to help Harry’s mother, Tabitha, played by Jessica Walter, who is an older aggressive woman who can’t keep her hands off her Long Island ice tea.
Not only are Annie and Dixon going to get the “new kid” label, they are also going to be given the awful “principal’s kids” nickname because their father, Harry, took the principal position at Beverly Hills High School.
In a nutshell, Annie and Dixon are typical teenagers who aren’t happy about the move because both of them are leaving their comfort zones.
Annie leaves her boyfriend behind in Kansas, while Dixon doesn’t want to answer to his peers about being “the black kid” in his new school.
They both are talented in different areas. Annie is involved in the school play, while Dixon plays lacrosse.
They do their best to pick up where they left off in Kansas but like every teenager going through a move during that time period of their life, there are going to be some major issues.
They both get into trouble within the first few days of school, and both learn the different types of personalities they are now dealing with.
“The new ‘90210’ is a bit cheesy, but it’s just something I couldn’t miss after watching re-runs when I was younger of the original Beverly Hills ‘90210,’” Magill said.
Apparently, the curiosity of fans of the original show couldn’t help but tune into the CW network to see what the new buzz about “90210” was all about.
“I thought it was cool that they took characters from the original and added them into the new show. It was interesting to see what they looked like after so many years,” Christina Romano, senior education major, said.
