CW wants more '90210'

September 22, 2008 After a blazing start with a two-hour debut Sept. 2 that was seen by 4.9 million viewers and posted the highest-rated series premiere in the CW's two-year history in women 18-34, adults 18-34 and adults 18-49, the "Beverly Hills, 90210" spinoff dropped precipitously in its second airing but recovered nicely last week to average 3.3 million viewers. "The successful addition of '90210' has taken The CW another step forward in building a cohesive schedule that defines this network as a destination for young women with shows that get our audience talking -- and watching," CW's entertainment president Dawn Ostroff said. In other pickup news, ABC has ordered six additional scripts from Mike Judge's MRC-produced midseason animated comedy "The Goode Family."
