WTF Rob Thomas? WTF? I know I’ve sworn my allegiance and love to you for giving me two impressively good seasons of Veronica Mars but WTF?

I still receive google alerts for Veronica Mars. I don’t know why except for that small glimmer of hope that one day the email will say “Veronica Mars movie to start filming” or “Veronica Mars comic to start inking” or even better “Veronica Mars is coming back to the air where it damn well belongs and we’ll find out about the sheriff’s race”. Of course recently something odd happened. I started getting 90210 alerts. Its okay Google you’ve been a great tool so its okay that you’re accidentally sending me 90210 updates instead of Veronica Mars. I’ll just click here and fix this…Wait what do you mean the genius of Rob Thomas who we all saw bastardize his vision of Veronica Mars in season three has sold out even worse with an effin 90210 spinoff? Google alerts why ya gotta hurt me so?

I do a bit of research by checking out a variety of great websites Zap 2 It, TV Addict, and AICN. They all inform me of the same crap–”Rob Thomas in talks to pen 90210 spinoff” But no one says why he’d do such a thing. Rob you can tell me. Lobotomy or just coke addiction?

Do we want to see another Beverly Hills crew? Is this what Laguna Beach and The Hills has spawned? I think I’d rather have another MTV reality show thank you very much. At least then I can roll my eyes and think “Ahhh silly MTV how you are so fail”.

It’s obvious the basic premise of this new show will be to cash in on the fascination America currently has with the rich and infamous. After all Britney covers sell like hotcakes why not cash in on that interest for TV ad dollars? The fact of the matter is that at the end of the day 90210 worked in its time and thats it. Even the syndicated showing on FX didn’t work for long. No one cared. A spinoff at this time is not a viable commodity because we no longer live in a 90210 and Clueless world.

Here’s an idea for a show. How about a My So-CalledLife/ Freaks and Geeks type show? How about something other than the false glamour that isn’t interesting? This doesn’t mean we have to go so far left either. We don’t need kids hanging out in Africa learning valuable lessons about life and how easy they had it back in the states. Just put them in a real life high school, add in some drama, interesting characters, and stir. You want a hook? Add a mystery to the show. A true mystery. Or vampires that one character slays..okay not that however here’s some kids you should include because we’ve yet to see them on TV

1. Fat Girl who is a lead character that does get the guy and does like herself

2. Rich Guy who doesn’t date rape and possibly make him fat girl’s boyfriend. Make him a guy who is bored with the status quo. Perhaps have fat girl cheat on him.

3. Ex Popular Girl who doesn’t want her old life back and is happy with the new one who now runs the school paper

4. Black kid who doesn’t show up just to be an African-American kid in the group. If you must make him good at sports try something a little different–soccer?

5. New kid in town who learns about a high school secret everyone is trying to hide.

6. Deaf kid who is a bit of a dick and isn’t really sweet

7. Jock hurt in an accident who is the better for it.

8. Christian kid who isn’t annoying or naive

9. Jewish kid who isn’t annoying or naive

10. Tranny kid who is great at theater. He/She only plays the chick roles and They aren’t bashed on a daily basis

There. Make it a My So-Called Life/ Freaks and Geeks/ Veronica Mars/ Brick type thing. I’m not asking for much just something that doesn’t make me think that my super sweet 16 has infected all our minds.
