The TV Zone

It's 10 p.m. (and I don't know where my children are), but good news just can't be held back - "good" if your definition of "good" is a "full season pick-up" of "90210."

Just announced. It's official. "90210" has saved the CW Network. Dawn Ostroff is a happy camper.

Here's the key graph from the presser:

"The CW’s drama “90210,” quickly becoming one of the most popular series among young women, has been picked up for a full season of episodes, it was announced today by Dawn Ostroff, President, Entertainment, The CW.

“The successful addition of ‘90210’ has taken The CW another step forward in building a cohesive schedule that defines this network as a destination for young women with shows that get our audience talking -- and watching,” Ostroff said. “We’re very excited about the chance to watch this ensemble of newcomers and familiar faces coalesce and grow together as we move forward.”

I know - BORING. But...they should be excited. "90210" - which Yours Truly declared not half bad in his review - has legs, even if they're kinda skinny ones. Next year, an Emmy?

Now, about those children...
