Ninety-Thousand Two Hundred and Ten
I watched the new "90210" last night. First off, it is fairly horrible. I can't keep track of anyone. Further, I don't understand why this Naomi chick is so upset that her father cheats. Donna didn't get that upset when she found out her bitch of a mother, Felice, was tramping around on the sainted Dr. Martin.
Further, any character named Naomi is instantly associated with "Showgirls" and she is eerily reminicent of old what's-her-face from "Saved by the Bell." I was waiting for her to stop crying, then run off to a stripper poll somewhere.
The biggest horror of the night was the realization that they were going to bring one of my favorite television mothers of all time, Jackie, back. And that, in order to do so, they were going to make her a drunk again. This totally pisses me off.
First of all, are you telling me that this girl is running around, sleeping in shelters and cars rather than move in with her sister in the first place? Come on. This is the sister that Kelly stayed home from Europe for, the sainted child that David Silver almost lost in a playground once upon a time. This child would be looked after and cared for, if not by Jackie, then by one of her less screwe-up siblings. Instead, we're supposed to believe that she's running around, living in shelters in Beverly Hills. And who knew such things existed!
More importantly, the scene with Jackie all drunked up? Sucked. Jackie does great drunks. She shows up at mother-daughter fashion shows drunk. She does epic drunks! She should not be made to play drunk scenes, alone in her apartment with her bitchy daughters. She should be given a grand stage on which to play: a restaurant, a bar, a school function. The girl playing Silver was fairly pathetic and the script even called for too much from Jennie Garth, not ever known for her acting chops no matter how much we love her. Let's face it, the only one who was ever really good at historonics on this show was the girl we loved to hate, Brenda Walsh.
Frankly, I was really sad they made Jackie a drunk again. I mean, I understand that they needed to give some dramatic underlay to the Silver character. Give her some conflict in her life. But to do it at Jackie's expense pisses me off.
I was always pulling for the old girl.
