Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.About the new 90210 on CW.
Im all for diversifying and such. But there is a sense of tv actuality that the old 90210 had.
Im not saying that a kid from Baltimore working the corners to support his little brother whilst avoiding his crackhead dad, couldnt magically get up and move to Beverly Hills to become the token.
But I am saying, that its kind of unlikely.
Think....85 thousand seasons of Friends with only two african american sightings in the village of nyc... unlikely.
I know its 2008 and network tv tries really hard to be PC. But an african american with a leading role in a drama set in Beverly Hills. Come one........I've seen Clueless already. Im thinking the first series didnt have a token black guy for a reason.
I guess, I just like my tv dramas to have a small dose of reality. So sue me!

HAHAHAHAHAHA at Michael! The new Omar is now the popular kid at school.
Token characters are always the best because they are the ones that make the least sense in the entire series just in case they need to magically kill them off.
this is a scenario i never thought about. now it makes perfect sense. his death will be the season finale after he gets involved with the wrong crowd and gets a girl pregnant.
he shoulda stayed in baltimore.
