Due to popular demand, this fall's TV lineup is chock-full with melodrama. "90210", set to air in the beginning of next week, is no exeception to this rule, and is poised to intrigue viewers of all ages – and genders.

Why?

Because we love drama. We grew up with drama. We are addicted to drama (and self-diagosing, it seems). 

It started as early as The Wonder Years, which debuted in 1988. This classic show detailed drama in its simplest forms: sibling rivalry, puppy love, teenage angst, etc, etc. Later, though, the storylines included drug addiction, abandonment and the new concept of being more than a stay-at-home-mom. 

Fast-forward to "Beverly Hills, 90210" (circa 1990). Kids, 'tweens, teens, and even adults sat glued to the boob-tube to watch pure, unadulterated drama bundled neatly together in thirty minute segments. Yes, the show included typical themes addressed in early shows like The Wonder Years. But the drama was relentless, a juggernaut of one-line zingers and apologetic tears that had your adrenaline rising and falling more frequently than a rollercoaster's hills.

But not to worry. If you, like many, tearily departed with the show's last episode in 2000, you're in for a treat! Starting September 2nd, "90210" will be back on prime time television. With a crew of dewy-eyed new high schoolers, can this spin-off be any more dramatic than its predecessor?
