The new 90210 -- yea or nay?


Clearly I've been watching too much of the CW (curse those Gossip Girl reruns!), but every time I see this stupid trailer, I have a pavlovian 'I want this NOW' response. Even though it's surely destined to suck.

Or is it?

Cons:
-Probability that this will be lame retread of deliciously cheesy 90s greatness = high

-Rob "Veronica Mars" Thomas no longer running the show (am I the only one who didn't know this until just now?) -- replaced by exec producer of "What About Brian"

-returning characters to include Nat, exclude Dylan and Brandon

Pros:
-(semi) breaking news....Shannon Doherty joins the cast! (At least for a little while.) And even better, it seems (spoiler alert) that Brenda Walsh has become an internationally acclaimed actress and director, while Kelly Taylor is a West Beverly guidance counselor. (Dear Kelly, maybe instead of "choosing me," you should have chosen grad school. Love, Brenda+DylanFanForever512.)

Uh, sorry, what was I saying? Got distracted by the schadenfreude. Oh, right, the electric slide of tolerance:


So, speaking of '90s works of art, when do I get my Party of Five reunion special?
