I really enjoyed the season premiere, but that may be due solely to excitement from catching back up on the characters. The second episode... not so good. And wow- drama galore. It still has a family orientation to set it apart from some of Spelling's other work, but it's a lot more soap opera-esque than it once was. I almost wander if they intend for it to go on forever, what with all of the new characters of varying ages (Haylie Duff? give me a break
While it's been a good show with a great run, until its later years, I think I agree with others that this season should be its last hurrah (hopefully with a return from Biel and Watson, and some of the classic recurring characters).
