CW makes it official: 'Beverly Hills 90210' spin-off is on
Posted at 6:10 p.m. Tuesday, May 13
The CW is banking on the popularity of rich kids next season, adding new shows about the demo.
Entertainment President Dawn Ostroff said Tuesday that the network’s new emphasis the rich and young reminds her of how “Dynasty” and “Dallas” were popular during a 1980s recession.
“People look at these shows as escapist television,” she said, according to the Associated Press. “At a time when the nation is going through such financial uncertainty, we thought shows like this might really strike a chord.”
That's over-thinking a bit maybe. Viewers just love the cattiness of shows like “Gossip Girl,” and likely the new “Beverly Hills, 90210” spinoff.
The network announced its fall plans Tuesday from New York, and as previously reported, the “90210” spin-off with original cast member Jennie Garth is part of the mix.
Other new shows on the schedule include:
“Aliens in America,” “CW Now,” “Online Nation,” “Life is Wild,” “Crowned: The Mother of All Beauty Pageants,” “Pussycat Dolls,” “WWE Friday Night Smackdown!” “Beauty and the Geek” and “Farmer Wants a Wife” did not make the falls schedule.
But, as previously reported, my fave show with the Devil in it, "Reaper," will return at midseason.
