    Who would have guessed that "90210" would become a genuine hit for the CW when it premiered last year? Season 2 kicks off tonight at 8.

    Synopsis courtesy of CW:

    The group of friends were forced to attend summer school after Annie (Shenae Grimes) called the police on Naomi's (AnnaLynne McCord) after-prom party.

    Naomi, Silver, and Adrianna have formed a close relationship over the summer, while Annie has isolated herself from friends and family, worried about her hit and run accident on prom night.

    What's your favorite Football movie? Mine is "Rudy." I get choked up toward the end of the movie every time. It's the ultimate come from behind, underdog story.

    My Facebook friends have mentioned "Friday Night Lights," "The Longest Yard," "Radio," "Remember the Titans" and "The Program."

    About this blog

    Herald-Journal Entertainment Editor Jose Franco loves TV and watching DVDs on TV. As a kid, he watched as much TV as he could on his parents' black-and-white set with the bunny-rabbit antenna. On clear days, the family could watch ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS. He loved watching everything from "Good Times" and "Happy Days" to "The Waltons" and "Three's Company," from "Land of the Lost" to Porky Pig cartoons. Saturdays were spent watching "American Bandstand," "Soul Train" and a Saturday afternoon movie like "Creature from the Black Lagoon." He didn't get cable and color TV until college in the 1980s and was surprised to hear all the colorful words you could say on television. It was the birth of MTV and music videos. Over the years, his taste in television shows has expanded and become more refined, but he does admit to enjoying an occasional "Who's the Boss?" marathon. His favorite shows, at the moment, include "The Sopranos," "Weeds," "Nip/Tuck," "Big Brother," "Friday Night Lights," "Prison Break," "Lost," "Ugly Betty" and "Heroes." His Netflix list is filled with TV shows he's yet to watch such as "The Wire" and "House." Not enough hours in the day, he says. He loves TV so much that he even mourned when "Rome" and "Gilmore Girls" went off the air. And he thinks there's nothing better than sharing his thoughts on a favorite TV show around the watercooler at work.
