Background:
Who's on it: A whole bunch of shiny, happy newcomers including Shenae Grimes and Tristan Wilds as adoptive siblings; series vets Lori Loughlin and Rob Estes play their thoroughly modern parents.
What it's about: It's a reboot of the classic '90s Fox series, in which a Midwestern family relocates to Beverly Hills. Just to shake things up, this time one of the kids is adopted and African-American. Look for appearances by original cast members Jennie Garth, Shannen Doherty and Joe E. Tata.

The buzz: The nostalgia is exciting many reviewers, but the show has not been screened to anyone raising fears its gonna be awful.
Current timeslot competition:
ABC: Opportunity Knocks (New game show)
CBS: NCIS
FOX: House
NBC: The Biggest Loser: Families
Settlement details:As reported by TVGUIDE.com
A note about the options: Shows that are great tend to be renwed earlier in the year, typically before the Christmas break. Shows that are really bad are canceled after only a couple of showings. Shows that are somewhat inbetween are usually announced around the time of the upfronts in May. So your options basically break down into:
Cancelled before Jan 1st - Really bad show
Cancelled after Jan 1st - Show not great
Renewed before Jan 1st - Really great show
Renewed after Jan 1st - Ok show
Other - catchall for not announced by end of network Upfront in spring, show is pulled from schedule for future season, etc.
This is for season renewal, an ordering of more episodes for season 1 will not settle the market.
The suspend date may slide forward once network upfront dates are announced.

Teen drama averages a 3.0 in target 18-34s
"The CW’s reboot of “Beverly Hills, 90210” earned loads of hype, and the ratings lived up to it. The new “90210” scored the best series premiere in network history and pushed the three-year-old channel to a rare primetime victory last night.
“ '90210' averaged a 3.0 in the CW’s target adults 18-34 and a 2.6 in 18-49s, according to Nielsen overnights, winning the night on both measures and tying for the highest-rated evening in network history in the latter. Among 18-34s, it was the network’s third-highest night ever.
“ '90210' became the CW’s highest-rated scripted series in history among those two demos and women 18-34, where it averaged a 4.3.
"It was also the highest-rated premiere in network history among 18-49s and the highest-rated scripted series premiere among the other demos, no small feat since the show was two hours long.
"Perhaps most promising for the CW, “90210” grew in virtually all the major demos from its first hour to its second, airing from 8 to 10 p.m., albeit by single-digit percentages. Among total viewers, the show averaged 4.9 million.
"The CW’s strategy of debuting its shows three weeks before the Big Three seems to be working thus far. Earlier this week, “Gossip Girl” and “One Tree Hill” also set a record for the highest-rated Monday in network history.
"Still, it will be a few weeks before it becomes clear if the strong initial results were simply sampling or if viewers will stick around."
