CW Fall Preview: 90210 and Bob Saget with underage girls. Fun.
The CW is to thought-provoking television as MTV is to music videos. But don’t confuse the CW’s lack of high-brow material for poor ratings and lackluster popularity. The hybrid network of the WB and UPN has spawned a large array of raunchy, racy, risque, and a whole host of other r-worded shows. Some of them are carry overs from the old networks (Smallville, Everybody Hates Chris, Supernatural, One Tree Hill, and more) but Gossip Girl has been the CW’s tent pole. Kids love shows about spoiled bitchy rich girls with relationship problems. Especially the hot ones.
Anywho, CW knows its audience and has carpet-bombed the competition with a slew of more shows aimed at the 12-18 female demographic. And perverts.
90210: How can a network lure more kids and nostalgia loving thirty-something’s? Take a beloved show from the ‘90s, recast it, keep the premise and turn up the sex, and viola. Hit! This time instead of Brandon and Brenda Walsh, we have Annie and Dixon Wilson. They’re new to Beverly Hills. Watch as they adapt and be treated heartlessly by the natives only to become them in the end. And something tells me this is going to be a pretty incestuous group too. Brenda (Shannen Doherty) and Kelly (Jennie Garth) will be reoccurring characters for looking for a connection to their past. As time goes on for the show…I’m sure the rest of the cast will as well. It’s not like they having anything else going on.
Surviving Suburbia: Bob Saget is an asshole. There, I said it. I don’t know the man, but something screams “asshole” and if you’ve ever seen something scream “asshole” then you’d better listen. In his new un-Full House show, Bob plays a guy who lives next to a family with a hot UNDERAGE daughter. Hilarious moments ensue.
