I just saw this latest "unauthorized" TV-movie off Lifetime the other day, and it's...not all that bad! LOL Well, I will admit I may have watched one or two (yeah, that's it.. o.O ) episodes of that '90s "guilty pleasure" sensation known as "Beverly Hills, 90210", and, other than to gawk at the attractive scantily-clad teenage girls, I really didn't have all that much interest in the show. So I didn't have all that much interest to watch this new TV-movie either, but it was actually quite amusing. I had forgotten about all the Shannen Doherty antics that made the headlines back then- what a trip down tabloid TV memory lane..?? LOL
Well, the best part of what I thought made this movie work was the relationship between TV mogul Aaron Spelling (played with delight by the voice of "Homer Simpson" himself, Dan Castelleneta!), a legend in the business who had produced the likes of "Charlie's Angels", "The Love Boat", plus a whole slew of other hit prime-time TV classics, and this up&coming rising young talent in TV at the time, who collaborate on 902010 to make it a success. This young guy wants to break all the boundaries of TV at the time, while Spelling guides him on how to do that, yet continue to stay on TV by playing within the guidelines..
