Features: DVD
This hit series focused on the pleasures and problems of a group of rich children who go to West Beverly High School. It was originally based around the lives of a group of high school students living in a wealthy Beverly Hills neighborhood, then later moved on to their college days as they got older. The kids become friends and enemies, fall in and out of love, and go through an endless series of crises as the small group becomes personally involved in newsworthy social issues. Includes six discs.
"...the performances still remain enjoyable after all these years, as it's obvious that the series was cast superbly..." CurrentFilm.com
"...a mainstay of the 1990s...Shannen is so deliciously bitchy I could hardly take my eyes off her. And Jennie Garth is hot." Rob Lineberger, DVD Verdict
"These kids put Heidi and the gang of MTV's modern-day The Hills to shame." Katie Herrell, DVD Verdict
"...a must-have for fans of the show." Lacey Worrell, DVD Verdict
"...going in I was sure I was gonna hate it, but I gotta admit: "90210" sucked me in, and I played disc after disc with a ravenous appetite." Ross Ruediger, Bullz-Eye
Editor's Note
Television producer extraordinaire Aaron Spelling launched a pop-culture phenomenon with his 1990s teen soap opera BEVERLY HILLS 90210, a landmark series that not only set the standard for '90s teen culture, but singlehandedly wrote the template for later shows like DAWSON'S CREEK and THE O.C. Created by Darren Star, the glitzy series chronicled the coming-of-age dramas of Minnesota siblings Brandon (Jason Priestley) and Brenda Walsh (Shannen Doherty) as they adjusted to their new lives in the affluent environs of the titular zipcode, where they attended the fictional West Beverly High with a tightknit group of teenage friends: goodnatured jock Steve Sanders (Ian Ziering); brainy good-girl Andrea Zuckerman (Gabrielle Carteris); naive virgin Donna Martin (Tori Spelling); aspiring DJ David Silver (Brian Austin Green); blonde siren Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garth); and troubled bad-boy Dylan McKay (Luke Perry). Like DEGRASSI, the series attempted social commentary by crafting storylines featuring a wide range of issues affecting '90s teens, including alcoholism, drug abuse, sex, and depression. Groundbreaking and iconic, 90210's debut season is presented in its entirety with this collection of 22 episodes.

Outside of my high school and college graduations just happening to coincide with the same years as the characters on Beverly Hills, 90210, I have to admit that I couldn't really relate to Brandon, Brenda and the gang on Fox's long-running teen soaper. I mean, things in my high school didn't really match up with the surf, sand, and obviously too-old students (I'm talking about you, Steve Sanders!) who populated the halls of "90210" -- but that being said, that fantasy aspect was also part of the series' charm...Nevertheless, the cast, from Ziering's Steve Sanders to Jennie Garth's good-girl Kelly, remains one of the series' most enduring elements, and the constant, episodic progression from light subplot to heavy-handed melodrama is something that kept the series going for years...Obviously, highly recommended for fans! - Andy Dursin
