My thoughts/outrages on the ‘90210′ spin-off

By now you’ve all heard the awesome/terrible (I haven’t decided yet) news about Rob Thomas producing a spin-off of “Beverly Hills 90210″ for The CW. And depending on how much of a trashy news junkie you are, you may have also heard that Tori Spelling wants to be a part of the show because “Every teen drama needs a MILF, right?” — Yes, she actually said that.

And while this is all well and good, I can’t believe no one has addressed the real issue here: How exactly is this show a spin-off?! There are literally no connections between this new project and the original series. “Melrose Place” didn’t have any of the same characters as “90210,” but it was technically considered a spin-off because they were both created by Darren Starr. But Starr has absolutely no connection to the new series. Are you allowed to just call something a spin-off whenever you want?

I feel like they’re only calling it a spin-off so that people will actually tune in to a show on The CW for once. … Am I missing something? Someone, please explain this to me…
