Week’s over.

This is a nice song to listen to at the end of a warm Friday afternoon.

It’s She and Him, a collaboration of singer-songwriter M. Ward and actress Zooey Deschanel, on Craig Ferguson. Corny, I know, but I like the relaxed, twangy vocals.

Kind of makes me want a mint julep. And an old dog named Sal.

Okay, so what in the sam hill is going on with this 90210 spin-off? I keep hearing rumblings about it and weirdo casting news, but I can’t for the life of me figure out what exactly it’s going to be.

For the record, let it be known that I never watched the original series. And you can believe me on that — I’ve embarrassed myself enough in the electronic pages of this blog to admit when I’ve watched a crappy show, so I believe I’ve built up my credibility at least a little bit.

But I can’t quite figure out if this is going to be a continuation of the story or just an updated version — like when Ethan Hawke pretended he was Hamlet and he carried around a camcorder.

Right now, the show is shaping up to be a Frankenstein’s monster of television eras. Arrested Development’s Jessica Walter has, for some reason, signed on as a boozy matriarch (again?) and Lori Loughlin (Aunt Becky from Full House) will play a former Olympic medalist/mother of the central kids. Now, the chick from Reaper is signed on (does that mean the death knell of that show? It might be kind of welcome so I can stop pretending to watch it). Also, some guy from Dirt who is way dreamy will play an English teacher. I sense some naughty teenage girls “needing help after class.”

No word yet on whether or not any of the original cast members are going to be involved, but there’s this new unsettling interview with Jason Priestly where he sounds like a ghost of himself. When asked about a potential role on the series, he says: “They haven’t contacted me about doing anything yet. But if it’s the right thing, I’m certainly open to it. I loved working on that show. I loved everything I did on that show. I had so many jobs on that show, I loved it so.”

The way he ends that sentence, “I loved it so,” makes him seem like he is in The Notebook and he is going to kiss 90210 passionately in the rain. It’s weird. Also, in the accompanying picture he kind of looks like Harry Connick Jr. after a frightening bender in the French Quarter.
