90210 2.0 Watch: From Kansas to Beverly Hills in 20 Awesome Moments

Posted on September 3, 2008 with No Comments

The CW finally unveiled their fantastic new remake of Beverly Hills, 90210 Tuesday night! And Blindie was all over the catty one-liners, bitchy dialogues and fresh (and familiar) faces.

Here are the Top 20 moments (there were 2 hours, so 10 moments per hour) from the show’s premiere:

1. The Wilsons arrive in Beverly Hills via Wichita, Kansas in a dusty minivan: Grandma Wilson (who we’re gonna simply call Grams) calls it a “crap wagon!”

2. Upon seeing Grams (Jessica Walter) drinking her special iced tea, Dixon (Tristan Wilds) says he saw her full-frontal nude on Cinemax: “That’s not right!”

3. After saying he wants to leave his adoption story behind him, Dixon’s sis Annie (Shenae Grimes) says, “You’re my brother. That’s my story.”

4. Annie says of seeing West Beverly High for the first time: “It’s like the Oscars, and everybody is Scarlett Johansson!”

5. Annie sees her crush from a few summers ago, Ethan (Dustin Milligan), getting a BJ in his car–by some chick who was NOT his girlfriend, Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord).

6. The quirky, hip trailblazer Silver (Jessica Stroup) is Kelly Taylor and David Silver’s little sis! Her first name is Erin, but she goes by Silver! Upon meeting Annie, she says, “You’ll learn to dig me!”

7. Navid (Michael Steger) tells Dixon of Ethan: “He’s the one with the spotlight shining out of his ass!”

8. Naomi’s sharp one-liners:

“Keep your vagina clean.”

-she tells a wise-cracking classmate after he alerts the class that she was at the gyno;

You’re going to need new clothes, so I’ll take you shopping after school.”

-she tells Annie after inviting her to her “not-so-sweet 16″ birthday bash;

“I didn’t expect to see you there with all your morals.”

-she tells Annie about seeing her at her party;

Didn’t the cover charge cost you a month’s salary?”

-she tells her lit teacher Mr. Matthews (Ryan Eggold) at a nightclub.

9. Uhmmm bobbleheads anyone? Why were Silver & Annie so damn thin? Eat!

10. A black boy plays lacrosse! “Wichita in the house,” Navid says after Dixon kicks ass on the field. Dixon later explains that lacrosse is what bonds him to his adopted dad: “It’s like we’re really father and son.”

11. Grams asks Dixon after his fight on the lacrosse field, “Did you kick his ass?” Then blurts, “I say it was racially motivated!

12. Silver’s vlog, “The Vicious Circle,” where she blasts Annie in a Beverly Hillbillies parody and calls Naomi the “anti-Christ.” In Silver’s reenactment of Naomi/Ethan (as bickering paper dolls!), the girl who gave Ethan a BJ earlier in the episode says, “Let’s check out your lacrosse stick!”

13. The Naomi montages on big screens at her party.

14. At 15, Naomi has two Chanel handbags and a Marc Jacobs tote.

15. Grams says of writing her memoir: “I need to finish all my memoirs before my friend Virginia does. We slept with all the same people!

16. Brenda’s back! But she’s nice–at least for the last hour of the show–where she even offers to babysit for Kelly so she can go on a date.

17. Naomi actually has depth: from her mother who expects nothing of her but to be pretty to her forced facade of having to be okay in front of her peers.

18. Lori Loughlin looking better than she did during Full House.

19. Celia (Loughlin) sarcastically tells her husband Harry’s (Rob Estes) shameless ex, “We can swap stories about Harry’s penis!

20. OMG! Joe E. Tata is back at The Pit!
