Power love Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 The 90s classic 90210 was a smash hit in the early 90s so popular it made the original cast house hold names overnight it lasted for 10 seasons. in 2008 the poplar zip code series was rebooted with a whole new cast of young fresh faces. Although the series lasted for half the time of its original show which is extremely impressive however was never as popular in pop culture like its peers. In fact it’s practically forgotten today. Gossip Girl, Pretty Little lairs, Glee, Vampire Diaries & Teen wolf were massive & had a strong following each had more seasons & still reference today. None of the actors on 90210 did anything big once the series ended either. The actors had to do a flop zoom reunion themselves. What went wrong? Why? Why isn’t this show as pop culture reference & forgotten? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 The 90210 reboot did well enough honestly. It went for what, 4-5 seasons? It was so close to the original ending too. As with most teen shows, it was so good the first 1-2 seasons and then fell off a cliff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obsession Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) Because it genuinely wasn't as good. Gossip Girl wasn't perfect either but stylistically, it has a lot more going on. Edited November 14, 2022 by Obsession Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gossip_Boy Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Because it was ass. Just like the new Gossip Girl is ass compared to the og and hasn’t had nearly the same impact (though I was never a big GG fan to begin with if I’m being honest). And this goes for most of these reboots. It’s hard to capture the same magic twice. The only one I can think of off the top of my head that I kind of liked was the PLL one and that’s because they tried something different and didn’t feel like a poor imitation of the original.

The reboot had nothing on the OG 90210 that had many 90s teens and young adults in a chokehold for a good while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyDuff1D Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Idk. Season 1 was great and it had a TON of buzz. It fell off both in quality and ratings soon after. At least it lasted 5 whole seasons though Side note: I will always love Shenae Grimes even if her career didn't end up going the way it should've.

Sad Serenade Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 The show was like a cheap version of Gossip Girl with bad and forgettable characters (except for queen Naomi). It has long and many unnecessary seasons. As for the actors only a couple were really good but maybe they didn't take the right choices to happen after the end of the series. Some of Gossip Girl, PLL, Teen Wolf's actors didn't happen too. It's all about priorities (Leighton Meenster for example picks the family life and dislikes the spotlights) and good/bad teams behind them.

livelikemusic Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Because it was bad and produced by The CW. There within is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddii_ Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 It was amidst all the other teen shows you mentioned and unlike GG, PLL, TVD it didn’t have anything stand out. I guess that’s why they tried to get Hilary. The plot lines were also all over the place. It was more of a messy guilty pleasure for teen drama lovers than anything else. Has no rewatch value tho.
