Am I Just Getting Older Or

does the new 90210 really, really suck? Yes, OK, literally and figuratively. I only kept flipping to it because Ridge's speech was even more distasteful but the show seemed flat, dumb and boring. I love Jessica Walter (bring Arrested Development back!) and she was doing her best but how could anyone rescue that train wreck of a show? Watching Tristan Wilds, recently of the absolute best show ever put on that box called television (you know the answer), try and struggle through Brady Bunch-like scenes about getting back at your rival school with an animal prank just made me want to cry. And watching Jennie Garth painfully have a milkshake with Shannen Doherty made me want to cry because it was so badly acted and because I am just so frickin' old! That's it - no more revived nostalgia television for me.
