Yanked Down Under!

Poor Australians!

They'll no longer be able to enjoy the new 90210!

But, it seems like they don't really care. Cuz many of them have chosen not to view it and now the show is getting pulled from the air in Oz!

Australia's Channel 10 has just taken the series off their lineup, after just four episodes, due to poor ratings.

A spokesperson for the station said, "90210 is an excellent show that clearly resonated with a younger audience, but it didn't have the kind of numbers needed to stay in this intensely competitive environment."

During its last episode on the network, the show only managed to get 616,000 viewers during its primetime slot on Monday.

This is a pretty big blow to Ten since they were considering 90210 to be one of their most highly-anticipated programs of the year.

They even purchased the program without viewing the pilot!

Ten's head of programming, David Mott, said a few weeks to the show's debut in Australia that "Generation X, who were targeted in the 1990s, have grown up and the show is already creating buzz in Generation Y."

However, the show seemed dead since its premiere which only gathered 837,000 viewers, a lot less than they anticipated.

The network will broadcast the remaining episodes during the summer (in Australia).

Will 90210 have the same fate here????

No! Thankfully the show has just been picked up for more episodes on The CW!

      Perez, do U really like 90210? I think the show is boring, i only watch it because of Kelly and Brenda…
      This "Annie" girl is a total flop… I dont even know her real name. They should focus on the other caraters. I think the other girls are doing a much better job.
      Bring back the original cast and i will continue to watch… If i want sg NEW there is GOSSIP GIRL. xoxo



    22. 22

      Teenagers today are so needy that they latch on to ANYTHING thrown at them sadly.
      Put any male and/or female between 10 and 20 years old on a television show on Fox or the CW and desperate kids will cry themselves to sleep every night over their "love". It's absolutely sickening and pathetic. These 18 year old actresses have zero talent, but stick them on a show for everyone to look at and stupid gullible kids will go nuts. The only people watching 90210 are the little kids that are drooling at the teenagers on the show. I don't know a single adult watching it because they were fans of the original.
      Perez pushes it himself with his ridiculous flaming love of that no-talent group of ugly boys called the Jonas Brothers. Stick people like that in front of teenagers and thats all you need, no acting skills, no musical talent, not even good looks.
      Sad…

      Re: krazihottkelli/bitchygrl – HA, you type like a retard. how was it on the small bus?



    33. 33

      Re: krazihottkelli/bitchygrl – no one will ever take u serious. So you can stop now haha. You're just making yourself look even more stupid and more annoying with every post. So, you should probably go kill yourself now. And you know absolutly nothing about politics haha obviously!



    34. 34

      Re: krazihottkelli/bitchygrl – jesus are u serious?



    35. 35

      I was so excited about this show, but Annies over acting ruined it for me…I can't watch it anymore!



    36. 36

      Although I loved the original 90210,the newer version is fresh,and unpredictable.

      The Aussies are missing out on a good show!



    37. 37

      Seriously, when is Lori Loughlin going to update her hairstyle from 1989. It's not making you look like you're still the same age, sweetheart.



    38. 38

      The show is depressing, like our economy. Brenda looks like she just got out of rehab. Grimey's mom looks out of place and anxious. The bro is gearing up for a nervous breakdown. The dad looks guilty of something…maybe that's it. He'll save the show with some juicy Perez gossip!



    39. 39

      Just ordered myself season 3 of Beveryly Hills, 90210…oh yeah!!! I only watch the new 90210 because I want to see what situations they copy from the old one. I can't believe they're doing the whole new brother and sister moving from !!Kansas!! thing..atleast they changed it up somewhat. I watched the girl that played Annie on Degrassi: The Next Generation and she was much better on that. Poor girl lost her acting skills. Nothing like the original though, not even bring Kelly and Brenda back is helping..now it's based on the new kids so when Kelly and Brenda are in a scene the scenes suck. And Shannen Daugherty sure aged terribly..I just can't get by her real life drama to even think of her as a caring drama teacher!



    40. 40

      Re: GoFuckYourself – Watch yourself, have you not heard about the girl that actualy killed herself because of a fake myspace page that said she should just kill herself?



    41. 41

      wow i feel sorry for channel 10 now XDD the shows shite. srsly people.



    42. 42

      Glad they realized the show for the shit it is. Everyone should go watch "Privileged" instead. 90210 is completely horrible. Bad acting, bad writing and just plain bad!



    43. 43

      Fu.. this show. I am going to eat leftover pizza now because I am not anorexic like the cast of this crappy show.



    44. 44

      WHERE IS THE GAY CHARACTER? I WANT TO SEE HIM…NOW! AND HE BETTER BE HOT…!



    45. 45

      well i have never been able to enjoy 90210 because it haven't been aired yet :( in mexico,i wanna see shannen!!



    46. 46

      that show was my 'after gym' wind down before Boston Legal and 30 Rock…man…in general Australian commercial tv is so crap…they just yank stuff off and will most likely just put re-runs of old idol on. It makes no sense, they have nothing to replace it with except stupid specials or reruns of old bad shows…that get worse ratings. One of our other channels floods the hours with Two and a Half Men and countdown of best list of 'insert topic here'…its painful…there is nothing good on till after 9.30 over here.



    47. 47

      From an Aussie i will tell you about our TV Channels.

      They ALL, but mainly channel 10, bring us new shows, then only screen a few episodes, long before people can get into them.

      I've given up on Australina TV, i just buy any tv series i want on DVD. Even when they do keep showing us a show it gets moved from time slot to time slot without warning, and then everyone misses their shows anyway. Oh and dont get me started on shows starting at the right time. You cant tape anything without missing the beginning or end of something else.



    48. 48

      Yea i saw that

      they replaced it with Supernatural which is way cooler anyway.

      But I enjoyed watching 90210… ahh well.



    49. 49

      I think It SUCKS!! Us Aussie Gen=Y's have F**k-All to watch since the OC left us! GRRR!!! Unless of course you have Cable TV! It's Bull Shit!
      90210 was Great! Everyone I know from 18 - 24 was talking about it! I Vote we Keep 90210!! It's he best thing since.. Well.. The Original!!



    50. 50

      Re: hape2cu – Totally Agree!! Verconica Mars, One Tree Hill, Dexter, Californication! Gee how are we ment to watch something when it's on at a different timeslot every week! RUDE!!

      The yanking of 90210 in Australia by the said network (who? I dunno) is a disservice to its viewers. I'm down with the opinions of most of you regarding Primetime television in Australia. Even the primetime shows in the Philippines (most of them) suck as much as yours or even worse.

      I empathize with those who lost over 90210's loss (not the original one) in Australia. Although I never watched it (yet), it is a matter of deep concern for me. BTW, ratings are always manipulated to serve certain interests, whoever they are.



    53. 53

      Blah Blah Blah!!!



    54. 54

      I'm gutted!!
      Oh well, I guess I'll have to download it (like you have to do with EVERY GOOD show here in Aust because we're so behind the times! ie Prison Break!!!)

      Pffft. i watched it once.. i didn't really enjoy it sorry guys.
      But we have so many other good sows on the time that it was on… so yeah.
      just luck of the draw and that doesn't seem to be coming up much..
      bugga.
      oh well..



    56. 56

      Channel 10 aren't all that stupid, they replaced 90210 with Supernatural, which has to be one of the best television shows (and its great that channel 10 is fast-tracking it from the US). Supernatural!! Supernatural!! Supernatural!!



    57. 57

      90210 would be MUCH better if they would get rid of that train wreck, shit 'actress' shenae grimes. she's HORRIBLE! how she got that job, i'll never know
