I went in as a big fan of the original, expecting to be disappointed. I actually like this show! I don't think I'd feel the same without Jennie Garth. I'm hoping that the original characters don't appear just for the purpose of launching this show. That would detract from the authenticity of the project and diminish the lure in to watching the show. The only weird return from a Spelling predecessor is Rob Estes - only because I feel like Lisa Rinna or Heather Locklear are about to run onto the set.
The tie-ins with the original are great. This show seems to have been developed very well as far as consistency is concerned. The acting is also better than expected.
It took me a season to get into the original - I say give this one a chance! I totally didn't expect to like this one. Still, feels weird watching an updated version of a show that ended just a few years ago.
