"You wanna live in the zip. . . you gotta live by the code."
Yup, that's the super cheesarific tag line at the end of this new promo video for the CW's resurrection/retooling of 90210 (which just found a dad in former Melrose Place guy Rob Estes). The beginning of the promo made me howl with laughter as the classic theme music starts up again and the new kids basically reenact parts of the original 90210 intro. This quickly ends, though, and we launch into the little interviews with the cast of the show.
The most bizarre part of all is seeing Jessica Walter in this setting, since she will always and forever and ever be Lucille Bluth from Arrested Development in my eyes. I hope she gets to provide a lot of the funny lines in this show.
Anyway, to get a glimpse at the new Beverly Hills kids (and parents), read more.

god the lead up sounds like a reality show
1It looks pretty vanilla. I probably won't watch it no matter what but I'd like it to be cheesy and scandalous.
2lol, the only character of color is adopted! wow, o-kay. and now there's a character named "silver", is it david silver's kid??
3Wow! I'm sorry but this looks soo bad! But the guys are cute!
Isn't that Darcy from Degrassi!!?? What happened??
4has anyone told these people that a show like that already existed and it was called The O.C.??
5They have some color in the cast this time around. Mmmm. Was Lindsay Price the only minority cast member that stayed on the show for more than an episode?
6Everyone brought up good points. i wonder how it will be, they didnt mention anything about the peach pit.
7well, with Rob Estes and Lori Loughlin I just may watch this show.
8i cant believe this show is going on when so many good shows have gotten cancelled. i'm sure this will be all sex and over-the-top drama. blah.
9love all the stereotypical characters, too.
10Oh lord...I'm still so annoyed by the thought of this. It will never live up to the original.
And I hate that they're using the same theme song. UGH.
11Did you expect them to use a new theme song? It'd be different if the show was like... let's say what Knots Landing was to Dallas. Set in entirely different locations (and eventually entirely different timelines because they never acknowledged that Bobby wasn't really dead). They each had their own distinct theme, also because they were on at the same time. 90210 is just a continuation of BH90210, and therefore, uses the same theme.
12i'm excited to see jessica walter as another drunk grandmother. however, there is no way this cheesy spin off is going to compare to the golden arrested development.
13Haha, I know, serenavallentine. You know what I would definitely watch? A spinoff in which Lucille Bluth, in all her boozy glory, told all those 90210 kids what's what.
14I was too young to watch the original, but I want to see Shenae Grimes in this, a.k.a. Darcy from Degrassi. She's been stepping up with some mature storylines lately on that, and I'm curious to see if this can make a go of it and if she can pull it off.
15...And Lori Loughlin is a hoot. I've always loved her.
isnt that Eden from Nip/Tuck in the corner? I can not stand her!
16I'm with Buzz. I want Lucille Bluth to tell these rich kids what's up.
17ohhh how I would pay to watch Lucille Bluth + spoiled teens.
18OMG. I LOVE Lucille Bluth. She's frakking insane! LOL.
19Bring back Arrested Development!!!!
I hate that chick from Nip/Tuck she was annoying as poo! I wonder how good this spin off will be, I hope it's watchable..please don't be another crappy OC/The Hills recreation.
20A-MAZ-ING - I really can't wait.
21Nooooooooooo.......
90210 was THE show back in the day. I watched it the entire run (with my mom).
This "rendition" looks..... amazing dumb. Don't mess with a classic!
The kids this is geared towards were not old enough to have watched the original, so why not just name it something else?
With no Kelly/Brenda/Dylan, is it even worth it?
IMPOSTER!
22i noticed that my homegirl aunt becky from full house is on there. i don't think i could watch this show because i followed the original growing up.
23I watched the original too, until they got old and added all of the new characters. I was looking forward to this show until I saw the preview. I loved Gossip Girl and I even catch One Tree Hill sometimes, but this doesn't look tolerable to me. Who am I kidding though, I'll probably watch it anyway.
24eh gads. WTF? First off, who names a character "Silver"? And the beginning of the intro, I swear it looked like they casted Cordelia from Buffy, Screech from Saved By The Bell, and Lindsay Lohan?? These actors looked too familiar for me. And that teacher character? Is he going to have an affair with one of those kids, because he looked younger then most of them. Good to see that the casting people recognized that yes, there are black people who live in the 90210. Hee hee.
All in all, I may pass. These kids look way to young and boring. Unlike Gossip Girl, where they definitely casted older actors who looked way more mature and cool.
25are they kidding me....one Black guy...and no other diverse people....uggg
26thats so wrong
hmmm I doubt it makes it out first season
27Yeah these characters look cheesy. Kinda looks like daytime soaps.
