Are you frickin' kidding me?

Are you frickin' kidding me? Is the CW going totally bonkers these days or what? Did the mental powers of Dawn Ostroff scramble everybody's brain up there?

"90210" spin-off on fast track"!

Yes, you read it right. The CW is planning a spin-off of Beverly Hills 90210 for next season! Like really. Honestly. I'm not kidding!

So, let me get this straight. Next season, it'll be reality crap shows like America's Next Top Model and possibly Pussycat Dolls and Beauty and the Geek and 4! teeny soap operas: Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls and the 90210 spin-off. Oh, and Smallville. And Supernatural - but that only because they could find no excuse to cancel it when it performed much better than any of their new shows and 95% of reality stuff they have.

And since I'm already talking about their badly performing shows, take a look at Tuesday's ratings:
Beauty and the Geek (new) 1.88 mil., 0.9/2
One Tree Hill (new) 2.46 mil., 1.1/3

Oh yes, their reality shows and teeny soap operas are obviously so succesful that there deserves to be a lot more of them *rolls eyes*

I have a feeling that a 90210 spin off will atract the market they are NOT trying to attract - the old WB market (female head of houshold 18-40)

The younger people that they SAY they want to attract can't pay the bills. It just can't.

Exactly. I think that the older people will watch it out of nostalgia and the younger people won't care because they consider BH so OUT and OLD ;P

But since (in the US anyway) that demographic are the decision makers on money.

The upshot of that is that Supernatural gets really good adds (chevie, colgate and what not) big money adds. Other shows on CW DON'T pull in that kind of money add.

I doubt I would watch an updated 90210 - but I do (every once and a while) watch Gos. Girl - for the adult actors - they were young when I was young...LOL
