Everything Old is New Again

The thought that Movie and TV writers/studios can't come up with new concepts is so not a new idea, and they are at it again. Recycling to the 9th degree....


Yes, Beverly Hills 90201 is coming back as a new TV show just dubbed 90210 - they have dropped the Bev-Hills bit. I started watching the original from the very beginning and immediately crushed on Luke Perry. So, now it's back reincarnated into something new but similar... or something.


As the updates roll in more and more of the original cast of high schoolers are returning to reprise their roles as adults.... Jennie Garth is the most recent returnee - as a guidance counselor at West Bev and it sounds like they are hoping that many of the alums will be making appearances on the spin off.


Yeah, I'll probably tune in for this as well....


The next remake that hit my radar recently was Cry Baby the Musical... yes the original movie was a musical as well but that wasn't quite as highlighted as it is now that it's on Broadway. (Clearly not only aren't there any new concepts but if it has anything to do with John Waters it must be a musical)




I'm sure the play will be fun but I'm not sure they found as hot a Cry Baby as Johnny Depp.... *sigh*
