It's 09/02/10, which means you have two options:  Either date all your checks, notes, and journal entries with a weird, semi-secret glee... or revel in 90210 with this smackdown of the old versus new show.  We know which one we'd pick...

Best Fashion
AnnaLynne McCord may have piles of Prada, but there was something about the non-labeled outfits on the original show that screamed It Girl on a weekly basis.  From acid-washed miniskirts to "Wait, you're in tenth grade?" cocktail dresses, the original 90210 began the '90s Lolita look that eventually took Britney Spears into infamy and beyond. 
For the Win: The Originals.

Best Music
Brenda Walsh singing "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" will always be dear to our hearts, but the new 90210 has Tilly and the Wall, The Raconteurs, and Owl City -and continues The OC's tradition of bringing amazing indie rock into a soap opera.
For the Win:  The New Show.

Best Actors
No offense to Jason Priestly, but have you seen him in any movies lately?  Didn't think so.  Meanwhile, the new cast of 90210 already has projects lined up for their next TV hiatus... and they don't include a reality show a la Tori Spelling.
For the Win: The New Show

Best Scandal
Maybe it's because Gossip Girl and Degrassi already had all the sex, drugs, and teen queens we could handle, but the new 90210 seems less risque than its previous incarnation.  After all, the first season had Kelly doing cocaine, Dylan chasing the mafia, and David Silver's best friend shooting himself (accidentally) at a house party - and don't even get us started on Andrea trying to join that sorority...
For the Win: The Old Show

Best Sequel Potential
Hello, Jessica Stroup going to college, meeting up with the Hellcats, and starting some sort of protest group?  We can totally see it happening.
For the Win: The New Show
