TV Talk: Tuesdays Musings – November 4, 2008 – 90210, Privileged

My Tuesday TV viewing was quite limited because of the Presidential Elections but I did manage to watch “90210” and “Privileged” on CW.

In Season 1, Episode 9 titled “Secrets and Lies” for “90210”.  Harry reveals to his children Dixon and Annie that they have a brother who was given up for adoption by Harry’s ex-high school girlfriend.   That his girlfriend happens to be Naomi’s mother who has hired an investigator to find him.

Also, Silver has a party at her home before Kelly arrives back to town.  Annie is having a difficult time with the fact that she and Ethan have to keep their relationship secret and that she must lie to Naomi (Naomi broke up with Ethan just a few weeks prior).

Also featured in this episode was teacher Ryan Matthews hooking up with the high school undercover cop and being caught together by the student. Matthews is forced to take a leave of absence. I have to admit that how this was handled was a bit abrupt and this could have easily been a storyline in itself.

Also, Navid find a girlfriend and Naomi discovers something at the end of the episode that is sure to change the friendship between her and Annie.

Next up was “Privileged” Season 1, Episode 8 titled “All About Defining Yourself”. In this episode, Megan is writing an unauthorized biography on her employer Laurel. Laurel’s granddaughter Sage (who doesn’t like Megan) sends Laurel the autobiography and thus Laurel wants to change how the book will go.

As for Charlie, he finally realizes his feelings for Megan is probably not going to get anywhere further than just “best friends” and thus decides to move on with his own life. Meanwhile, Sage and Rose have different ideas of what they want to do after high school.

The significant moment in this episode is when Megan snoops too much into Laurel’s past and discovers something quite shocking. Definitely going to change the relationship between Laurel and Megan, since Megan literally opens Pandora’s Box.

That was pretty much my Tuesday TV viewing.
