90210 totally goes there
Throughout its 10 year run Beverly Hills, 90210 made a name for itself by pushing the envelope and tackling teen issues that previously went undiscussed on network TV. And it seems that The CW’s 90210 is attempting to do the same — only faster.
Somehow in just 14 episodes, the spin-off has managed to fit in a slew of storylines revolving around sex, drugs and everything in-between. Here are just a few of the controversial — and completely ridiculous — topics we’ve seen this season:
- Drug Abuse/Rehab: Right from the get-go we knew that Adrianna, West Beverly’s reigning drama queen, had a nasty little drug addiction (cue Mr. G’s “Naughty Girl”) but who could have guessed she’d already be in rehab by episode eight — and back in school by episode nine?
- Teen Pregnancy/Abortion: Oh, did I forget to mention that Adrianna got knocked up before going to rehab? Yeah, she’s totally the new Andrea Zuckerman. She even went to a clinic to ask about her abortion options, but was told that she was too far along in her pregnancy to terminate it. … Don’t you just hate when that happens?
- Bipolar Disorder: SPOILER ALERT! According to E! Online, Silver (West Bev’s resident blogger) will soon learn that she is bipolar. I guess when you come from that family — Silver is Kelly Taylor’s little sister — you’re bound to have one thing or another.
Seriously, when do these kids find time to do their homework?

Haven’t been watching 90210 — never got into it — but I’ve found the British equivalent, called ‘Skins’, and it’s RIDICULOUS … in an awesomely bad way.
