90210


So, judging by this episode, I think people have been underestimating the potential Freaks & Geeks-ness of this new 90210. I remember reading that Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah were writing it, and being all, "Really? 9021o will be like Freaks & Geeks? Why aren't people more excited about that?" I guess maybe that got lost in the shuffle of the "omgnew90210" stuff, but judging by the first 20 minutes of this show, it's highly, HIGHLY zany. Everything is supposed to be a joke, at least at this point- Jessica Walter in the first scene! Cut-aways to the lead singing Rogers & Hammerstein! Zaniness to the maxxx, y'all! It's like a funny Degrassi.
