90210 May Produce Spinoff
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, FOX, The CW, Gossip
With The O.C. now off the air, we can finally get back to the high school series that kind of started it all: Beverly Hills, 90210.
The FOX show that wrapped up almost eight years ago may have a chance to live on as a contemporary spinoff on CW. If a pilot - developed by Veronica Mars’ Rob Thomas - is picked up, the new program would find a home on the same network as its New York-based counterpart, Gossip Girl.
It is not known how the new cast of players will relate to the alumnae of Beverly Hills High. It’s also not clear whether 90210 veterans will somehow be involved. But should we see appearances from Ian Ziering and Gabrielle Carteris, it wouldn’t be the strangest thing in the world. Fans of Degrassi already know how characters can stick around for generations to come.
Decisions on a possible pilot will be made by the end of the month.

‘Cupid’ Gets Do-Over
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Drama, Prime Time, ABC, HBO, Entourage
Remember that show Cupid? Starring Jeremy Piven (way before he was a big shot on Entourage)? I vaguely remember it because I’ve been a big Piv fan since his days on Ellen and his role in PCU, so I certainly checked out Cupid. But then, it didn’t stick around. To be exact, the show only lasted 15 episodes when it aired in 1998/1999. The show was written by Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas, but back then, he didn’t have the clout that he’s gotten as a result of Veronica. So, here’s the interesting thing—ABC is giving him a second chance at bringing Cupid back to the small screen. Have you ever heard of a do-over like that? It’ll be cool to see how much they retool it, although it sounds like the concept will remain (a man thinks he’s sent to earth to play cupid… hence the name). You can guarantee of course that they’ll have to re-cast, since I’m pretty sure Piven is otherwise involved with a hit show and heaps of awards. Nor do I suspect that co-star Paula Marshall will return to the series. But Thomas does want to “try to hook some really good guest stars every week,” so hopefully that will keep people tuning in this time around.
