A Possible 90210 Spinoff?

Yep…you heard it right. Variety magazine has leaked details of a possible 90210 spinoff that will air on the CW. Although no definite green light on CW’s part, here’s a quick snippet from Variety’s article:

“The CW still hasn’t greenlit its planned spinoff of “Beverly Hills, 90210″ — but details of the script are starting to leak out.

According to reports on casting breakdowns and TVTracker.com, the new take on the Aaron Spelling-Darren Star sudser will focus on the Mills family of BevHills and offer a lot more racial diversity than the original show.

Matriarch of the family is Tabitha Mills, a 60-something actress/alchoholic who was a major star in the 1970s and had been linked to everyone from Warren Beatty to Jack Nicholson. After her latest bout at Betty Ford, Tabitha decides to try to live on her own in her BevHills estate.

Worried for his mom’s safety, do-gooder son Harrison “Harry” Mills, a 1980s graduate of Beverly Hills High, decides to move back home to the 90210 after years in St. Louis. He brings with him his wife, Celia, an Olympic athlete who’s looking forward to living in Cali, and ends up working as a personal trainer.

The couple have two 16-year-olds: Daughter Annie and adopted son Dixon. Annie is an emo/theater kid who’s desperate to fit in with the cool crowd. Dylan, er, Dixon is a supersmart bad boy who has lingering social and behavioral issues — and not an ounce of nerdiness in him.”

This kind of excites me! I was a huge 90210 fan. The article also talks about a family in the series with the last name Silvers, and any 90210 geek would know that is the last name of the character that was played by Brian Austin Green, so that should be interesting. I hope CW goes through with this…we’ll soon find out, so stay tuned!

TV Shows Are Finally Coming Back

After months of the networks airing only reality shows and re-runs due to the writers strike, this week we finally started to see some of our favorite sitcoms and dramas making it back on air. Monday night, brand new episodes of “How I Met Your Mother”, “The Big Bang Theory,” and “Two and a Half Men” aired for the first time since back in late November.

Next week, we’ll see shows like, CBS’ “CSI: Miami” and “Cold Case” come back. Then, the first week of April, CBS’ “Criminal Minds,” “CSI,” “Without a Trace,” “Ghost Whisperer” and NBC’s “My Name Is Earl” will all return. Most of the other fall shows will make it back by the end of April. CW’s “Gossip Girl” is one of MY personal favs, so I can’t wait until its first new episode airs April 21st.

For all of my fellow “Heroes” fans out there, sorry to disappoint you, but it won’t be back until the next Fall season. Also NBC’s “Chuck” and “Pushing Daisies” won’t be coming back until then either. And here’s a few shows that, due to poor ratings, may not be coming back at all, ABC’s “Big Shots”, NBC’s “Bionic Woman”, and CBS’s “Cane”, I guess we’ll just have to see over the next coming weeks, but I’ll keep you guys posted.

Actually, I’m a major Reality TV junkie, so the writer’s strike really didn’t upset me too much. I’ve really been enjoying American Idol and the special airing of Big Brother. So I have had plenty to keep me entertained!
