90210: The New Class

It was announced today that a modern-day 90210 spinoff is on the fast-track. Personally, I have mixed feelings about this news. 90210 is one of my four favorite shows OF ALL TIME (O.C., Sex and the City, and Lost being the other 3. Friends, The Office and How I Met Your Mother, running close seconds in the comedy category). A lot of spinoffs in history have been good – Mork and Mindy and Laverne and Shirley, both coming from Happy Days (Joanie Loves Chachi, not so good) are the shining examples. Law and Order and CSI have both been very successful spinning off new franchises of their popular procedural shows. The article also mentioned that Fox is hot for more spinoffs as they are in development on offshoots of Family Guy and Prison Break, following the success of Grey’s Anatomy satellite Private Practice. It got me thinking – maybe I should develop my own spinoffs. Here’s my list:

-Another spinoff of Grey’s Antomy -- this time it would be a small medical consortium of doctors in the Northeast called Pentucket Medical Association. The team of young, hot doctor’s would mostly treat the elderly clogging their waiting rooms.
-Donald Trump tries to capture lightning in a bottle with Apprentice: Donald’s Children Edition – The Donald’s children compete with each other for their father’s affection. If they lose a challenge, they can be fired from the family and asked never to return again.
-In the tradition of Las Vegas, what about Mohegan Sun? It follows the inner-workings of an Indian Casino in Connecticut. This show would also focus on elderly clientele, who are under represented in TV demographics, aside from 60 Minutes.
– NBC has Lipstick Jungle, ABC has Cashmere Mafia. CBS will launch Tampon Gangland. It will focus on a grittier group of females in the Bronx, than their counterparts. The show will include fashion, romance, and PMS.

Do you think any of these have a chance? What’s your idea? Leave your spinoff in the comments!
