boring tv bitching

alright, so it's 8:01 and 90210 just ended. let me give you a 411 on this, bitch-style.

ok. it used to be, like, my favorite show.


used to be. like when they did classy CW/WB shit like make the girl a druggie and the guy have daddy issues. it was great stuff.  but oh-no. somehow, between a chick tweekin out with bipolar disorder and the guy false-impregnating an older woman, the show has lost its way. the new way seems to be that of conforming. ever since it focused on the california-dreamin' theme (which i initially was lovin') they [the show's people] seem to have become....unfocused (for lack of a better word).

of course, i still watch it whenever i can. but instead of getting some Silver/Dixon prom action i get...

*the fantastic soap opera-esq one-liner: "If i can't be with you, there's no point in living" and then a quick cut to black/commercial.
*my music. swear to god, every fuckin episode, one of my songs is just playing in the background. it's aggravating. i know, i know, why am i so possessive of songs that thousands have heard...blahblahblah.
*Silver having a serious conversation with her new boyfriend "Teddy" (yes, seriously, his name is Teddy) outside the school where he happens to be lifting weights. shirtless.
*Silver and Adrianna confronting Naomi with her shirtless boyfriend Liam (and his amazing abs--damn!) about a teacher's sexual harrassment with her mega-mansion and the beautiful California sunset just hangin' there in the background.

i feel a mix of hatred towards the show and a yearning to see the episode again. can you say, issues?!
