Hilary Duff To Be In New 90210 Series?

Hilary Duff To Be In New 90210 Series? Everyone loves Hilary Duff - they love that TV show she was in, whatever it was called, and all those songs of hers that nobody can remember.
Yup, that Hilary Duff's a hot piece of property at the moment, or at least she would be if we could work out what the point of her was. You know what Hilary Duff would be great in? A creatively-bankrupt revisiting of a TV series that everyone stopped liking about 18 months into its 10-year run almost 20 years ago.
What's that? There's a part going spare in the new Beverly Hills 90210 spin-off? Well that's certainly very fortunate for both Hilary Duff and Beverly Hills 90210. Not so much for us, though - we think Beverly Hills 90210 is going to be shit and that Hilary Duff's a wanker.

The Office Fills Out The Necessary Paperwork For A Spin-Off

You read that right - The Office is getting a spin-off. Rumour has it it's about Pam and Jim raising a family together. Not just any family though - theirs consists of three children they found on an asteroid that crashed to Earth over 30,000 years ago. We know this because we read the script.

And by 'read it' we mean wrote it. And by that we mean we will write it soon. And by that we mean our nephew Ferdinand will scribble it down while we dictate. Our hands are withered and old. We can't even hold a pen.

But even if we do get our The Office spin-off prepped and ready - it'll have to settle for being next in line. A spin-off-spin-off if you will. That's because NBC just announced they've already got one gearing up for next season. 

Beverly Hills 90210 Gets A Miserable Spin-Off

Beverly Hills 90210 Gets A Miserable Spin-Off

History has proved that Beverly Hills 90210 is the probably the worst TV show of all time. That's scientific fact.

However, Beverly Hills 90210 shouldn't get used to holding that title, because a show that looks set to be even lamer has been announced - a modern-day Beverly Hills 90210 spin-off. 

That's right - the CW network is resurrecting Beverly Hills 90210, Frankenstein-style. However, the Beverly Hills 90210 spin-off doesn't have a cast or a writer yet - it only exists as an idea in the mind of a particularly evil television executive who we're hoping is quite tall. That way he'll be more likely to knock his head on a low ceiling beam and give himself some sweet sweet amnesia.

Family Guy’s Cleveland Gets Own Show

When Joanie loved Chachi it lasted exactly 17 episodes. When Frasier loved Niles it lasted even longer-ish.


When Skeletor remembered he had a mentor that had long ago been locked on another planet with He-Man's sister, it was like a steel-toed boot to the nethers. But that's just the risk of a spin off, now isn't it? You think you've got a great product, but then Hordak shows up and kicks you in the jellies.

Unless the spin-off of which you speak belongs to Cleveland Brown of Family Guy fame. He, apparently, is on the threshold of carrying his own show.
