Myxer Pick for Tuesday, September 02, 2008
An edgy, contemporary spin-off of the iconic drama “Beverly Hills, 90210,” the new 90210 looks at life through the eyes of Annie Mills and her brother Dixon whose first day at West Beverly Hills High School leaves no doubt they’re not in Kansas anymore. The Mills family, including dad Harry and mom Debbie, has relocated to Beverly Hills to keep an eye on Harry’s mother Tabitha - a feisty-but-faded former television star and a charter member of the Betty Ford Clinic. For Annie and Dixon, the awkwardness of being the new kids is made worse by the fact that their dad has taken a job as the high school principal. Annie and Dixon have a close sibling relationship, which they’ll need to help them cope with all the new cliques and classmates. The Mills family has just begun to realize how much their lives are about to change.
