90210 was a ratings hit, at least for the CW! 90210’s ratings were the highest ratings for a scripted show’s premiere for CW. 90210 pulled in 4.9 for its premiere last night.

CW had been in trouble. But Gossip Girl is up in the ratings. And now 90210 has delivered for week one.

LALATE was predicting at least a 5.0 for 90210. How high is that? Shot of Love with Tila Tequila premiered for MTV at 4.2. Compare how much it costs to produce Tila’s reality show versus 90210’s expensive 2 hour filmed show — you see the profit margin result.

But will 90210 hold and build? Lets hope 90210 holds at least 4 all season. If it’s at 3 next week, this could be trouble for the CW.
