Today is 90210. I'm surprised how much attention this dumb day is getting. But whatever, who am I to complain? Every day is 90210 to me and Soap Net.
As a treat to you, I am linking to this.
I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that it's one of the greatest things I've ever read. If you are a true 90210 fan, you have to read it.
It's an interview with Larry Mollin, who wrote and produced the show during the glory years - pre and post Brenda. There are so many awesome insights that I don't want to even start naming them, you have to check it out for yourself.
Besides specific 90210 info (he shits on the casting of Jesse: "I was totally appalled that they cast this guy. He had ears as big as Botswana as far as I was concerned. I have no idea what happened in that room that day when they cast him. I just thought they totally blew it. To have a guy with a receding hairline– just everything I thought was wrong"), what I also love is how perfectly he explains where 1 hour soaps go wrong. If The OC had listened to this dude, it would still be on the air.
Anyway, I go back and read it once a month, because I'm a gay nerd. But you're a fan, or even if you're just into 1 hour dramas, you should read it at least once.
Have a great 90210, and remember, the guy who played Ray doesn't actually beat women in real life.
