What to Watch Tuesday, Sept. 2

'90210'
(8PM, The CW) series premiere
This new class of West Beverly High students? They have a lot in common with the '90s grads.

Just like sibs Brenda and Brandon Walsh, sibs Annie and Dixon Wilson move from the Midwest to the super swanky 90210 zip code, and their new pals include spoiled rich girl Naomi (sooo Kelly Taylor), BMOC Ethan (sooo Dylan McKay) and smartypants reporter Navid (sooo Andrea Zuckerman).

They'll also cross paths with original '90210'-ers, including the aforementioned Kelly (the West Bev guidance counselor) and Brenda (a guest director of the school play), and we can't wait 'til the rivalry kicks in again: They both fall for hot teacher Ryan Mathews.

'The Shield'
(10PM, FX) 7th season premiere
The show begins its final season, and cast members have teased that the series will end with Vic Mackey "getting what he deserves." Intriguing. Now, here's hoping we fans get what we deserve, which is not another fade-to-black, ambiguous 'Sopranos'-style ending.

'General Hospital: Night Shift'
(11PM, SOAPnet)
Jagger finds out his son Stone is autistic, leading him to a parents support group. Kudos to SOAPnet for casting in this storyline: The actors in the support group are real-life parents of children with autism.

'Greek'
(9PM, ABC Family)
ZBZ hosts a crush party and Casey and Ashleigh each invite a guy. Unfortunately, it's the same guy.

'The Cleaner'
(10PM, A&E)
William's high school principal buddy asks him to help a star athlete who's also a heroin addict, but William meets resistance from an unlikely source: The kid's dad.

'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno'
(11:35PM, NBC)
Russell Brand guests. "Who?!" you might be asking. The dude from 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' ... British comedian ... gets smarmy with Britney Spears in those MTV VMA commercials ... he's hosting the VMAs this weekend ... Eh, just watch him with Leno.

What's on tomorrow: 'Sons of Anarchy,' 'America's Next Top Model' premieres and more
