I am all for taking refuge from your life's troubles in the problems of your garden variety over acted teen TV drama series. However, this 90210 remake leaves a lot to be desired. With all the modern trappings there are still some very old problems with the character development of a certain negro young man. While I know how grateful I should be for his token representation, and at the risk of biting the hand that scripted "us" in to the Beverly Hills elite; um not so much! For starters it is completely implausible that some upwardly mobile family from Kansas would adopt a black child in the 90's; hello, everyone knows that Chinese was the ethnic group du jour! If that isn't enough to satisfy the gods of 80's diversity, this week he discovers that he is attracted to emasculating women. To coin a phrase from one of the best shows to jump the shark......Seriously!
In other news, what is up with Mary Tyler Moore's face?!!!
