I used to watch FNL reruns all the time on Pivot so the first season is easy to recall. I use 90210 as relaxation therapy sometimes when Netflix still had it but they killed it this month. When shows have such great potential and entertainment value as these two series enjoy over their respective five year runs it is easy to recall the best season because for both it was their first seasons
Taylor Kitsch (Riggins) was the closest actor to enjoy male lead status after the head coach on Friday Night Lights . . . he got all the promotional money and got to bang all the hot white girls repeatedly even almost got some from the Coach Taylor's daughter once but he did the gentleman thing which you have to applaud since she was drunk. Smash was a second level character who enjoyed some plot material from time to time like the steroids, the arrest for defending his sister and the walk-out protest he led in racial protest . . . but he never got to sleep with his white girlfriend in S2 and the powers that be on NBC made SURE that you were informed that he was a simp which was an unnecessary slap in the face.
Dixon Wilson some how won a conference championship in Varsity Lacrosse and won Prom King both in season 1 as a soph at West Bev. Then he enjoyed the massive popularity of his sex tape with his beautiful girlfriend which enjoyed a limited theatrical release which is absolutely unprecedented in high school or college where such tapes are usually mere rumor. Nevertheless, Rebecca RK Sinclair denigrated him as a simp who was sitting by the phone all summer Junior year wondering where Silver was as she text and possibly sext Ethan who was off to Montana. Any competent showrunner would have understood that Dixon would be swimming in women for half that Junior summer in 2009 . . . hell hire those two sidekicks of Naomi from Fall 2008 and let Dixon break up with Silver after she effectively abandons the relationship and unilaterally turns off the sex faucet they had enjoyed all over West Bev in the library, in the cafeteria, behind the Lacrosse bleachers and have those two chicks act as Dixon's summer fuckable friends while his heart may still pine for Silver he should NOT be waiting around all summer all through his 17 birthday without enjoying the sex life of a high school legend, prom king and Varsity champion right??
As Black men we have to take notice of these plot impluasible showrunners and executive producers when they take our shows off the road of realism just to meet their personal agendas. Smash should have been smashing as many schoolgirls as Riggins and Dixon should have been practically tripping and falling into West Bev pussy during his first summer in 90210 right?? He was the Prom King and a Varsity Lacrosse conference champion but the showrunners of 90210 only allowed him to enjoy once piece of West Bev pie in THREE years at that school??
How did the executive producer of 90210 not recognize the plot opportunity she had when she wrote "The Enchanted Donkey" in S3 where Naomi finances they Senior Class Spring Break to Mexico? Have Adriana Tate Duncan use Dixon to kill two birds with one stone . . . hurt both Silver and Navid by banging Dixon's brains out right??
