Here's the thing. This updated version of the zip code obsessed series? It's not good. I only keep watching on the off chance that there will be more cameos from Shannen Doherty and for my weekly glimpse of the amazing Gangy in action. But now. Now they've gone too far. They are taking my Jessica Walter away from me. (Not that they give me nearly enough of her to begin with.) Ausiello broke my spirit by informing the world that Walter's contract hasn't been picked up for the second half of the season, and the wonderful Lucille Bluth/Tabitha will only be around on a recurring basis.
Seriously, her flashing the gardener, trying to get the scoop on Dixon and Silver's late night rendezvous and her constant drinking antics are the highlights of this show. And don't even get me started on how many times I watched her loungey rendition of "Mama Who Bore Me." I wore out the rewind button on my remote. And her and Brenda together? Freaking amazing. Now I've got no reason to watch that show anymore, except to give me an hour to scream at my television, which is sort of therapeutic and cheaper than therapy.
Your thoughts on this news? Are you as angry as I am? Ready to start a "Save Tabitha" campaign?

Between this and Gran's fate on True Blood, it's not a good time to be someone's grandmother on cult tv.
I'm kind of relieved. Finding out Jessica Walter was on this show, practically playing Lucille Bluth again, was the only reason I've watched even five minutes of it. But now I don't have to ever again. :)
She's too good for this crap of a show. Better to free her up for the AD movie (never say die!).
I agree. Let 90210 sink without her. She deserves WAAAY better than this lame remake.
