...Hills, 90210, the suspiciously unlined mother of all teen soaps, which ran from 1990 to 2000, even the richest kids were happy with an after-school Coke at the retro diner. Not so on just plain 90210, an extreme makeover of the '90s show debuting Sept. 2 on the CW network with new characters and - in teen years - a geologic era's worth of social and cultural updates...
...Cindy Walsh existed just one rung above the "mwa mwa"-speaking adults in the Charlie Brown cartoons. The Walsh parents had no inner life, no conflict, no secrets. They were as boring as most teen-agers think their own parents really are. But the moms and dads of the CW's 90210 will be nearly as fleshed out and central to the show as their offspring, say writer-producers Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah.

The CW show returned to the air on Monday after a painfully long hiatus due to the writer’s strike. The return was celebrated by New York Magazine, whose cover this week features a picture of the cast overlaid with the words “Best. Show. Ever...
...Oprah does not have the only Oprahesque reality show on TV today; more and more of them are overtly or covertly about mental makeovers. The Biggest Loser coaches weight loss. MTV's Made gives outcast kids self-confidence; the CW's Beauty and the Geek does the same for socially challenged nerds and academically challenged hotties. Supernanny gives tough love to out-of-control kids (and parents); A&E's Intervention, to addicts. On TLC's The Secret Life of a Soccer Mom, women who gave up careers to stay home go back to work for a week, then reconcile...
