9021-OH, IS THIS SHIT STILL ON?



I really wish the geniuses over at the illustrious CW would let this tired zip code rest in peace already.

Some things are just better left dead: Cloned dogs, a movie remake of The Women, New Kids on the Block.

You get the idea.

While watching beautiful, rich high schoolers cavort in expensive cars, live in mansions with gorgeous 30-something parents, and fly to San Francisco in private jets will never really get old, even the most dazzling of cliches needs a little je ne sais quoi to get me through 2 (fucking) hours.

And I searched for a whiff of low brow Aaron Spelling brilliance in this trite, banal mess, but all I saw was cheap, knock-off Target brand imitations.

However, two drunken, faux-literary finger snaps for the show's tech-savvy Adrianna for naming her blog "The Viscious Circle." Oh, how Dorothy Parker of you!

p.s. It's nice to see Joe E. Tata—the Mr. Belding of Beverly Hills—riding out his one big break for as long as his wrinkled fingers will allow him to fool with coffee makers and french fries at The Peach Pit.
