90210 returns to the air tonight with an almost all new cast making it the saddest reclamation project since Stallone's recent ruination of the Rambo and Rocky series. Has Hollywood just plain run out of ideas? What other old shows are they going to bring back? Since they are getting ridiculous my first vote is to bring back Happy Days. The Fonz could be played by Kirk Cameron of growing pains marking his triumphant comeback from spending time with his family. Richie could be played by ??? I have no idea since I haven't seen a red headed male teenager on TV in years. I guess you could plug in Michael Cera from Superbad, dye his hair red, and add some freckles in makeup. Also why not do another Sex in the City? You could make the ladies younger, faster, hipper, and even sluttier. It doesn't matter who your cast is, just make them in their mid twenties and have the sex drives of hormone enchanced rabbits. Besides original ideas are overrated, or just too hard to come up with. It's all been done anyways so just do it again and again.
Another great idea for the brainless Hollywood producer is to take a show currently on air and make a rocking spin off show. ABC can do a More Desperate Housewives spin off with ladies that sleep around, get murdered, or be total bitches every five seconds instead of every ten seconds. Twice the drama, twice the fun, and three times the ridiculous plot lines. Smallville could become Smallerville following the exploits of superman during his childhood from three to ten. Must be nice to be able to fly home to take naps when at Pre-school or ward off the almighty cooties. Originality and thinking is past its prime in Hollywood. The best ideas are ideas that can come to you in five seconds, which is exactly how I came up with this blog.

bring on happy days! no one's cooler than the fonz...
Very funny and true. I just don't see how they can redo 90210. It was a hit in its time but in my opinion most of these spinoffs are just bad. Like Kirk Cameron as the Fonz.
How about I love Lucy 21st century style. There were lots of Great Cmedies during the 50s and 60s. If the producers are really desperate maybe they can redo these. Although how cleverly they will do it is another question.
I am really bored with reality TV, give me a good comedy or PI show anytime rather than any tom,dick and harry attempting to do things (like the apprentice, lost or amazing race etc)
Well, that my opinion (on Anything Under the Sun)

I totally watched that. Ugh.
Didn't see the new one, but have to admit I loved the original one. I think I just heard the original "Brenda" is on it. Shannon Doherty is on it. See how long she lasts, since every show she's been on she got fired from.
Is it possible to jump the shark twice? Because it seems to me, 90210 is doing just that.
ABC's programming is basically in a dark closet anyway. It's like they're either lost or just trying to hide.
I'll watch when I find dudes attractive.
I was going to bash 90210 right there with ya but then I saw Regretful's comment about good lookin dudes now I have to check it out!! ;)
Hey Tim, I think Hollywood ran out of ideas long ago. The latest Rambo and Rocky movies are proof enough. Bummer.
Kirk Cameron went all cult didn't he?? that would be pretty funny if he ended up as the fonz..
But I will raise my hand and admit that I watched two episodes of 90210.. it was sooo terrbile.. I will stick to my Gossip Girl.. h ahaa
