90210

Then:


My first exposure to the life of bold, brash and beautiful of L.A was indeed Beverly Hills 90210. Like every other teenager I was hooked to the TV when BH 90210 premiered and remained a loyal and trusted viewer through out its entire run on Star Plus. I think being a teenager made it easier to connect with the characters. I'm making it sound like it feels like P.M.S I'm sure, but trust me it felt good - the fun, fears, tears, jeers, leers and much more.

Now:


Today, some 10 odd years later I watched the second episode of 90210. There are a bevy of new characters. The plot is very similar to the prequel. There's sabotage, intrigue, love, hatred, betrayal, friendship, angst and so many more emotions one faces during school life already rolling out in this series. Kelly and Brenda are back, except that they have masters' degrees now and one of them is a single mom. West Beverly High has not changed one bit and nor have I. I'm still so hooked. But, perhaps now as an adult watching what has happened to people's lives in these 10 long years.
