Actress Jennie Garth promises tonight’s revival of Beverly Hills, 90210 will not disappoint longtime fans of the classic soap that first made her a star seventeen years ago.

In an early morning interview with On-Air with Ryan Seacrest, Jennie admits she “wasn’t too big on the idea” of remaking 90210, but later changed her mind.

“”So many people are so dedicated to that show,” she explains. “If they’re going to do a new show, I wanted to be there for the old fans of the original show. . . I just thought the fans would really like it.”

She also adds that she and original 90210 co-star Shannen Doherty went into the new series “with a positive, fresh perspective.”

“It was pretty silly, if you step back and look at it. That was so long ago, and things that were said — I can’t even remember feeling that way, or why it all happened,” the now 36-year-old star said in an interview with Ryan Seacrest on Tuesday.

Beverly Hills, 90210 premieres tonight at 9 p.m on The CW.
