Mastermind Rob Thomas To Oversee The CW’s Proposed BEVERLY HILLS 90210 Sequel??

First by Jokerisdaking	Mar 13th, 2008 12:30:10 AM
unless im not.
seriously though..... by Jokerisdaking	Mar 13th, 2008 12:32:19 AM
I like this idea. I always like it when establised characters of any franchise are revisited.
This makes me sad... by justabox	Mar 13th, 2008 12:36:45 AM
For a few reasons. Herc, what happened to his return to Cupid?
Beverly hills by qwho51	Mar 13th, 2008 12:49:00 AM
Are you shittin me?????The CS is full of assholes if they think this will fly. First they kill Veronica Mars and they think this will fly. Fuck CW
What's up with Rob Thomas and Mitch Hurwitz by nalapou	Mar 13th, 2008 12:49:04 AM
returning to the networks that fucked them over? Stop being so damn forgiving!! VM and ARRESTED were SACRED!! Work on your respective movies for those lost shows and stop dabbling in business with networks that have showed you no respect at all.
Get fucked by ryandowneyjr	Mar 13th, 2008 01:06:20 AM
This has gotta be the thing I least expected to read today.
So fucking dumb... by DanielKurland	Mar 13th, 2008 01:08:51 AM
Yeah, I'll go back to the network that screwed me over for no real reason, and develop a show that's leagues beneath me. It'd be like if Lynch was running an Ally McBeal sequel on ABC.
BEVERLY HILLS 90210: The New Class by iownyou	Mar 13th, 2008 01:31:45 AM
Steve Sanders is the new principal of West Beverly High, David Silver to be Vice Principal!!!!!!!!!!
I would have hope but... by Mr. Gunderson	Mar 13th, 2008 01:50:45 AM
I doubt they'll let Mr. Thomas create something as unique and dark as Veronica Mars. It might be a fun, soapy bitch-fest but that's only amusing for so long.
nalapou by the podosphere	Mar 13th, 2008 01:51:09 AM
You might sing a different tune yourself if you were the one offered a rich development deal.
Why the keep returning... by Sledge Hammer	Mar 13th, 2008 01:54:46 AM
...because no one else is offering them jobs. Or if they are, not ones with as much money attached. Pretty simple really.
If it were me in Rob's shoes by the podosphere	Mar 13th, 2008 01:57:39 AM
there would be sex and drugs and paparazzi and jailbait 16-year-old thrill hookers and a pair of teen boys who kill their parents and bribery and extortion and Hollywood deal-making... oh wait. That was going to be season four of Veronica Mars....
No freakin' way! by jediburma	Mar 13th, 2008 02:04:44 AM
That's totally gay. Well, unless it means seeing some hot Jenny Garth sex scenes! Then it's totally hot. You know?
90210-2 by Mullah Omar	Mar 13th, 2008 02:31:14 AM
WHY??????????????????????????? ???
90210-1990 by Playhouse	Mar 13th, 2008 02:56:50 AM
Because ZIP + 4 symbolizes a greater and more specific concentration of teen soap to truly capture the rigors and demands of growing up young adult in the Aughts and beyond.
Of all the things we didn't really need a sequel to: by newc0253	Mar 13th, 2008 03:59:50 AM
First the Lost Boys, now 90210? I can't imagine Thomas desparately wanted to do a sequel hisself, but I can think of about a million shows I'd rather see brought back/continued than 90210 (even though it did give us Tiffani-Amber Theisen).
Proposed title: "Superficiality" by FilmCritic3000	Mar 13th, 2008 05:02:02 AM
Because as we all know, fashion, who you're sleeping with, and social status are what define a person's worth. Rob, you're so much better than this. Get cracking on developing that "Veronica Mars" movie or start developing new ideas for your own movies or TV series. Let the vapid banality of "Beverly Hills, 90210" remain a distant, dated, faded memory of the '90s zeitgeist, as it should.
WHAT? by travis-dane	Mar 13th, 2008 06:04:24 AM
Now I am confused.
Beverly Hills 90211 by rosasaks	Mar 13th, 2008 06:49:52 AM

I'm in favour of it. by rosasaks	Mar 13th, 2008 06:51:48 AM
Eddie Murphy needs another fresh hit to put him back on top. Why not go back to his roots.
Look, man, I ain't fallin' for no banana in my tailpipe! by rosasaks	Mar 13th, 2008 06:58:34 AM
Hey Jenny, don't worry about me. We got coffee and cocaine here. We're gonna get wired and have a big party.
I ain't never been in no cell that had a phone in it. by rosasaks	Mar 13th, 2008 07:00:42 AM
Can I stay for a while? I ordered some pizza. I drive a crappy Chevy Nova.
Axel Foley by rosasaks	Mar 13th, 2008 07:07:25 AM
Axel Foley should write the theme tune. It's about time Guns N'Roses made a comeback. He could play the principal too.
Time to prioritze, Rob... by Pennsy	Mar 13th, 2008 07:54:43 AM
1.) Veronica Mars movie wrapup; 2) then this. What about that show MissGuided; wasn't he running things on that one?
Uh, didn't they already do this by Cereal Killa	Mar 13th, 2008 08:09:20 AM
it was called Melrose Place asses!
David teams up with a sexy female Terminator... by boba_rob	Mar 13th, 2008 08:19:39 AM
and hot mom with a whiny kid who is the future leader of mankind. It will be called Terminator: 90210
90210: Tiffany Amber-Theisen's Breasts by boba_rob	Mar 13th, 2008 08:20:45 AM
I'd watch that.
90210: 2010 by boba_rob	Mar 13th, 2008 08:26:07 AM
Donna's dad dies and leaves her spoiled ass nothing. Now she is bankrupt; Brandon and Brenda are now a couple and hiding from the accusing eyes of society; Kelly is still fine, and dancing professionally; Tiffany Amber-Theisen's character is still a bitch but parades around in short skirts and boob-popping tops, so no one cares that shes a bitch; Dylan is overweight, an alchoholic, and lives in a trailer park with his fat wife and 6 kids; Steve is still driving around in a vet scoring chicks sporting his white boy fro-mullet; Andrea has died of old age. In season 2, Heather Locklear will join the cast as a hot older woman with a mysterious past.
What? 90210 sequel. by Sailor Rip	Mar 13th, 2008 10:22:10 AM
I'm there. 90210 was my one guilty pleasure in my teen years...besides drugs and unprotected sex.
Next week the Spellings ask Joss Whedon to by CrichtonAstronut	Mar 13th, 2008 10:26:45 AM
make a sequel to the Charmed series. Without Alysa Milano. Pretty much my first thought. Though I'm sure Rob Tom dialogue and stories will be a significant improvement on the original.
90210:TNG? by Big Jim	Mar 13th, 2008 10:29:00 AM
or maybe call it "Fortysomething" and have another show for Dylan & Andrea called "Fiftysomething". And one more show starring Lindsey Price, Kathleen Robertson, Tiffany Amber-Thiesen, and Vanessa Marcil. Call it "Four Hot Chicks Living Together in LA with a Hot Tub". Ratings gold!
Forget Heather Locklear,. Charisma Carpenter by CrichtonAstronut	Mar 13th, 2008 10:30:45 AM
joins the cast as ahot older woman with a mysterious past. While strutting around aswimming to pull in a two piece and stepping over ther togues of her step sons and friends. And highschool boy on the side.
It was called the o.c. at least there's no sequel by theonecalledshoe	Mar 13th, 2008 10:31:59 AM
it's true. now a followup past buffy (other than the neat angel) is something I'd like to find out about.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO by Sithdan	Mar 13th, 2008 11:49:08 AM
NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I've having flashbacks of high school. I DETESTED that show.
Let's bring back Saved by the Bell While We're At It by Sithdan	Mar 13th, 2008 11:49:41 AM

This is why I never watched the critically acclaimed Veronica Ma by Sick Fixx	Mar 13th, 2008 12:16:08 PM
Because I knew it was fundamentally no different than that teeny bopper bullshit, INCLUDING Buffy and Angel. All of it's about some pretty little blonde getting her inner warrior on.
Saved by the Bell: The Gay Porn Years by Big Jim	Mar 13th, 2008 12:25:54 PM
Zack and Slater realise their rivalry was just a manifestation of their own inner struggles with their love for one another. Screech secretly records them having sex in an attempt to blackmail them into letting him join them. But he loses the DVD and it ends up in Mr Belding's hands who, after wacking off to it for 48 hours straight, puts it on the net. Zack & Slater are instant stars and decide to go pro. Mr Belding is their manager. Screech, being constantly left out, sticks his finger in his ass then wipes it on his face and his secret evil persona, Dirty Sanchez who tries to take down Zack & Slater, is born. Tiffany Amber Thiesen and the Showgirls girl do a scene or two for sweeps.
the podosphere by nalapou	Mar 13th, 2008 01:47:39 PM
no man, i wouldn't. As you can tell from my rant, integrity and holding grudges against the people that fuck you over are way more important to than the almighty dollar... maybe that's why I wouldn't make it in Hollywood. But i know David Lynch would never go back to ABC after what they did to him for Twin Peaks. And if I were Herwitz or Thomas, who in my opinion have comparable master stroke and talent, I wouldn't either. If you would though, good for you man, you'll be a lot richer, that's for sure... if that's what matters to ya.
David Lynch and ABC by rosasaks	Mar 13th, 2008 04:00:32 PM
Would that be the same David Lynch who shot a 95 minute pilot episode for ABC in 1999, which they rejected? I think he wanted to call the show Mulholland Drive... I know, I know. It sounds like a crappy Melrose Place ripoff. Lucky for us the network had the sense to cancel it before they screened a single episode. He probably would have wanted Marilyn Manson and Billy Ray Cyrus to guest star or something stupid like that, to get the kids to watch. What the hell was he thinking?
Yawn, rich good looking kids getting laid. by johnnyangel	Mar 13th, 2008 04:29:43 PM
Sounds like my life.
So They Cancel VM... by XXVIII	Mar 13th, 2008 04:52:03 PM
But Greenlight this shit. Nice.
Just Bring Back Veronica.... by arzbest	Mar 13th, 2008 05:43:03 PM
preferably on another network. Hell, if all these women-centric shows like "The Closer", "Damages", etc. can thrive on the FX network, why not shop "Veronica" there? A perfect match! And quit doing business with the CW, the network that screwed up Veronica the first time!
rosasaks by nalapou	Mar 13th, 2008 06:12:29 PM
I won't lie, this is the first I've heard of this 1999 Lynch pilot. But as i understand pilot's, you often make the pilot for a production company and then shop it around to networks. (See Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm) So, even though him taking it to ABC as a possibility WOULD go against my Lynch integrity thing admittedly, i wouldn't say that Hurwitz and Thomas actually being hired by FOX and ABC under developmental contracts (Like JJ Abrams contract with Disney) would be exactly the same. Still though. All very weak. I miss Peaks, VM and Arrested.... so, so much.
KRISTEN BELL TO BE IN SHOW? by skywalkerfamily	Mar 13th, 2008 06:45:52 PM
Will she be the Shannon Doherety part?
WHAT ABOUT MELROSE PLACE?! by skywalkerfamily	Mar 13th, 2008 07:01:25 PM
I remember the episode where it blew up.
When the hell did this TB reach 1000 posts? by thebearovingian	Mar 13th, 2008 07:39:39 PM
You bunch of lil' teenage girls.
really? by purplemonkeydw	Mar 13th, 2008 08:53:14 PM
I'll watch this. Seriously. F-you guys, I want to know what Brenda is up to.
Rob Thomas' "Cupid" revival given pilot order by ABC... by FilmCritic3000	Mar 13th, 2008 09:00:54 PM
http://www.hollywoodreporter.c om/hr/content_display/televisi on/news/e3ida1d365b6d3f5717834 ff0724a7c5d2a ABC greenlights Thomas' 'Cupid' By Nellie Andreeva It's been an embarrassment of riches over the past few days for writer Rob Thomas. Just as news broke about the "Veronica Mars" creator talking to the CW about writing a contemporary spinoff of Fox's 1990s hit "Beverly Hills, 90210," ABC on Thursday greenlighted a pilot for Thomas' new version of his own 1990s series, "Cupid." Thomas has described the new "Cupid" as a "reinvention" of his praised but short-lived comedy series about a man who thinks he's been sent to earth by Zeus to help out romantically challenged souls. The project, from ABC Studios and original series' producer Sony Pictures TV, has been in development at ABC since the fall and is in first position to the "90210" spinoff. The pickup of "Cupid" puts Thomas in a position similar to the one Josh Schwartz found himself last year, when both of his projects, NBC's "Chuck" and CW's "Gossip Girl," were picked up to pilots with "Chuck" in first position. Both pilots went to series, had successful first seasons and earned second-season renewals. (In an interesting twist, "Gossip" is eyed as a potential companion to the "90210" spinoff.)
Best sequel idea ever.... by Darth_Nader	Mar 13th, 2008 09:27:06 PM
You can probably get all of the old cast back, for cheap, so just use the same actors, but put them in a rest home now. By the time the series is done, they will be the right age. Sort of the original in reverse. --- Oh, and I am on the fence about a new 'Cupid'. I'm not sure anyone could pull it off like Piven. I guess we'll see!
?!?!? by johnnysunshine	Mar 13th, 2008 10:02:38 PM
Well, I guess Rob Thomas would be your best chance to actually make this franchise watchable. Still, I feel like he's just too good to work on something like this. Can't they just have him create a new show.
Ray Pruit by CrazyJoeDavola	Mar 14th, 2008 02:26:28 AM
Who is he going to push down the stairs in this sequel?
Terminator Cameron shows up and guns down by CrichtonAstronut	Mar 14th, 2008 12:54:11 PM
the entire cast in the first episode. Then Rob Thomas makes Veronica Mars Season 4
