I'm Not Sure I Am Feeling It...

When I think of my parents's generation, the big question was always, "Where were you when Kennedy was shot?".

For the current generation, ranging from the teens to late 20s, I imagine the defining question for them is: "Where were you on September 11th?".

In no way would I ever make light of either tragic event, but the defining moment for my generation would have to be, "Where were you when Donna Martin found out she'd be allowed to graduate?". It says a lot.....

Anyway, as I previously posted, the Hollywood wells have run dry and, consequently, many movies and television shows are being reworked. Among them: Beverly Hills, 90210

The show will include a new cast of over-priveledged teens (shout out to Gossip Girl...yes, I watch it and no, I'm not embarassed to admit it), who encounter every conceivable teenage drama, only to have it quickly resolved within the neat little hour of an episode. Adding to the show's appeal, Jenny Garth and Tori Spelling (ugh) will also take turns at reprising their original roles on the show.

Based on the extended trailer below, I am doubtful that the reprisal will come close to doing the original justice. So, I thought I'd throw out a few ideas to enhance the show's appeal:

1) Bring back Hillary Swank as a character who has been pregnant for 15 years, much to the bafflement of doctors.

2) Incorporate an episode where Andrea takes on Ken Jennings in Jeopardy, but then loses and blames it on the fact that she did not enjoy the same advantages of Ken.

3) The scar on Luke Perry's eyebrow becomes the newest character, Chaz, who makes fun of Dylan's every move (because every move he make is, in fact, worthy of laughter).

4) Tori Spelling comes back for a special Halloween episode, and she dons her most outrageous costume to date: a person with socially redeeming value.

5) Ian Zering returns as a David Wooderson type who has no actual lines; he just circles the parking lot of "West Bev" in his now run down convertible, prowling for high school girls.

6) Jenny Garth opens another boutique that specializes solely in leggings and baby doll dresses and Brian Austen Green, having never recovered from the loss of Scott Scanlon, is the stock boy who occasionally spins records for the usually empty store.

7) Tiffany Amber Serena Lisa Mary Juanita Thiessen returns as the most successful alum who, having relinguished her nightclub endeavors, now offers her services as a therapist.

8) Nat, never able to reconcile the fact that his only friends were weird teenagers, remains one of Tiffany's most regular clients.

9) Jason Priestly returns to the show in a docu-style role to highlight his run for the actual presidency. Given the current talent pool of potential candidates, he secures the votes of the 26 - 40 female demographic (so long as he promises to bring back the sideburns and deports Emily Valentine). Oh, and Jesse Vasquez will be his running mate (obviously).

10) Shannon Dougherty returns.
