I am seriously going to pretend I didn't see that. Then again, I was hot for Brandon back in the day. I loved the dramatic episodes that surrounded David's attempt to become the next Dino. And then borrowing money from the loan shark to pay for his drug habits. So tragic. I'm glad to see 90210 come up in conversation in here (they seem to come up every few weeks at work)...the dream is still alive! I want DVDs soon!

I've always had a soft spot for the mean girls (Lucy on General Hospital years back, Erica Kane on All My Chilluns) so that made me partial to Brenda. Then a friend of mine pointed out that one of her eyes is noticeably lower than the other. That threw me off. I wasn't sure my 90210 life could go on when she left...but then they brought in Valerie and life was even better than it was before Brenda. I could go on and on, but I've embarassed myself enough already.

I remember a tender ballad, but cannot say that I remember the name of the song. All I know is that if your goal in life is to make it big at the Peach Pit, you've won my heart!

i was such a fan, i was a fan before people even knew what 90210 WAS. i used to watch it before i went to the Down Under, a local little college bar/dance place. a sexier peach pit, if you will, but in the basement.

i put up with brenda's brattiness and unbalanced face. i yearned for brandon, then badass dylan.

someone kill andrea, please.

remember the slumber party? where they made fun of AN-drea? i totally remember that. 90210-yeah.

Let us not forget that BEST ACTRESS OSCAR-WINNER Hillary Swank was on 90210 for about half a season!!!

Brenda and Valarie were hot.

Who didn't get screwed-up on drugs at one point or another on that show?? Dylan was addicted to heroin (twice) as well as an alcoholic; Brandon had some sort of problem with a drug that was a knock off of E; Kelly was a coke-head; Donna was addicted to painkillers.

Who else? I don't remember Steve having a problem, but I'm probably wrong!

DIDN'T SOMEONE BECOME ADDICTED TO DIET PILLS LMAO!

starkitty said:

It came to light at the slumber party that one of the women (can't remember her name...she was just on that one "very special episode") was anorexic and addicted to diet pills. She was not so nice, but everyone sure showed her the love she needed when they found out her deep, dark secret.

My love affair (as much a love affair as it can be since I'm not so hetty-inclined) with Hilary Swank started with The Next Karate Kid, grew stronger with 90210, intensified with Sometimes They Come Back...Again and was at its apex with Boys Don't Cry. Love her!

Steve messed around with steroids in the 2nd season and tried to convince Brandon to do it too and then the schoolpaper published an article on the use of steroids and ...

(oh im such a bh90210-geek )

OH YEAH!!! Thanks! I had forgotten that!

Now, I know David was manic-depressive, but didn't he also have a problem with drugs?

Oh, and I remember that Val was a pothead.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Oh, we cannot forget her incredible performance in the original, theatrical film of Buffy, The Vampire Slayer: "Get out of my facial!!!" Classic!!! Why didn't she win an Oscar for that one????

Cuz she stole Buffy's jacket.

RipHer2Shreds said:

she was perfect as the poor single mom love interest of steve. you know they should have killed her off, orphans make the ratings SKYROCKET.

JediMaster said:

yeah didn't steve start to smoke pot or soemthing.. or steriods... i swore when he was on the basketball team for like an episode, he had a friend that died and it was because of steriods or soemthing and steve was goign to turn to POT.. ohhhhh rebel he was.. it was sooo corny!

how about when they tried to make storylines out of the parents ALMOST having affairs.

how boring. did valerie ever fuck anyone's dad?

Valerie was by far the best character!

And how ugly is she? I hate how they tried to make her "the sexy virgin". And I know that this show wasn't exactly known for it's acting, but she was too bad even for this show.

I never watched this program.. I couldn't even tell you who was on.

DYLAN.



I was so in love with that boy!!!!

theVelvetRoper said:

AND she has the ugliest boobs and cleavage i have ever seen in my whole life.. The topper is she can't act her way out of a plastic bag! Daddy should of gotten her some acting lessons instead of some silicone!

Oh, good lord....you mean to tell me that NOBODY else liked Maury the Flamingo dancing instructor??...

Byron said:

WHO was that?????

Byron said:

I remember him ...they tried to convince us Maury was 17, when you could clearly tell he was at least 21.

Lleena said:

I know...didn't you hate that.

BabyCakes said:

Brenda, she and Maury had a thing and she took up flamingo dancing, she was under the impression it was flamenco dancing and when she found out it wasn't, she promptly dumped him! How cruel!
