‘Late Night’ writer needs nine more ways ‘recession’ is like ‘recess’
It’s a busy time at work, what with the Cannes Film Festival and broadcast upfronts, together at last.
The upfronts are the week when the five broadcast networks announce their fall schedules and show off their new series to advertisers in the hope that wheelbarrows of money will soon follow.
Speaking of, remember the ’90s? A time when neon was hot and there was plenty of Crystal Pepsi to go around? And the sighing, sideburned teens of Beverly Hills High entertained us on our bulky tube TVs? Nostalgia is like being drunk on memories, you know? So it’s just awesome that The CW has created a Beverly Hills, 90210 spinoff series that will include some of the original cast, most notably Jennie Garth. There’s also a rumor that Tori Spelling will be dropping in, and at the CW upfront yesterday it was reported that “the plan is for original 90210 characters to be popping in for a visit on the spinoff.”
Because the ’90s were awesome, you know? Especially the early ’90s.
In other news, sometime in the last few months or so Weblog Sin Pies passed another milestone, which I failed to note here because I don’t really note much here. We have received more than 100,000 spam comments. (Because I’m late getting to this, it’s actually more like 125,000.) Hooray for me! If nothing else I know that spambots are avid readers, so thanks to them.

I get really excited whenever I hear that famous “dun-dun-dun-dun…dun-dun-DUN-DUN” 90210 guitar riff, but the whole Jennie Garth thing begs the question: how do they explain the presence of Kelly without Dylan? Did Dylan and Brenda meet up in Europe AGAIN and run off together? (Actually, I’m kind of hoping they did. Brenda + Dylan 4ever!)

I tried my damndest to nail down Tori about the new 90210, but it was a no go.
And by “damndest” I mean I asked her and then giggled a little.
