The CW’s 90210 became the highest-rated scripted debut in the network’s two-year history, reports The Live Feed. 4.9 million viewers tuned into Tuesday’s two-hour premiere, garnering a 2.6 rating among adults 18-40. Smallville held the previous record in the adult demo with a 2.2 rating. The network’s all-series premiere record is held by reality TV series competition America’s Next Top Model with a 2.6 rating. The Live Feed reports that if the CW’s overall performance does not improve, the network may be axed altogether.

TV critics were braced for disaster after CW refused to send out screener copies of the show (the debut was actually reworked until nearly the last minute). But most critics were generally pleased with the result, calling the show a serviceable-if-tame update of the 1990s original. No network has more riding on a single show than the CW has on "90210." If the CW does not improve, industry insiders have whispered this summer, corporate parents Warner Bros. and CBS Corp. might fold the network. And of all the CW's new shows, only the teen soap sequel was considered to have a real shot of significantly moving the needle.

Of course I was watching, I thought the show was ok but I can't tell yet if I am going to be a fan. I am a bit biased though I grew up watching the original "90210" and you can't mess with perfection! What did you guys think of the premier?
