Editorial Review:

Description:
One of the definitive, landmark shows of the 1990s, "90210" quickly became an important fixture on the FOX and in the popular discourse of adolescents and young adults. The first season’s main characters, Dylan, Kelly, Donna, Steve, David, Andrea and twins Brandon and Brenda all attended West Beverly Hills High School. Brandon and Brenda Walsh and their parents, transplants from Minneapolis, were the stable nuclear family with strong values; their home was a safe haven for the whole gang and the center of much of the drama. The show dealt with a steady stream of love triangles and other romantic entanglements and occasionally touched on more serious issues as well.

Amazon.com:
Just as Fox's 21 Jump Street injected the cop drama with a dose of hip, Beverly Hills 90210 infused the primetime soap with youthful energy. Like Aaron Spelling's Dynasty, most characters don't lack for disposable income, except for middle-class twins Brandon

(Jason Priestley) and Brenda Walsh (Shannen Doherty, Heathers). Created by Darren Star (Melrose Place), the class-conscious concept scored an instant hit. In the two-part Tim Hunter-directed pilot, the teens have just arrived from Minneapolis. "Nobody knows me," Brenda tells Brandon on their first day at West Beverly High. "I can be anyone I want." The two soon befriend Steve (Ian Ziering), Kelly (Jennie Garth), Donna (Spelling's daughter, Tori), David (Brian Austin Green), and commuter student Andrea (Gabriel Carteris). Then there's Dylan (Luke Perry), who debuts in the second episode ("The Green Room"). A poetry-reading surfer with a shady past, he's the James Dean of the piece, and Brenda falls hard for his bad-boy charms. Guests include Debbie Gibson ("East Side Story") and Matthew Perry ("April is the Cruelest Month"), while recurring characters include understanding parents Cindy (Carol Potter) and Jim Walsh (James Eckhouse) and Peach Pit manager Nat (Joe E. Tata).

Beverly Hills, 90210 ran for 10 years. Though it would move away from issue-oriented episodes in the seasons to come--in the first, it takes on shoplifting, cheating, and date rape--without it, there would be no O.C., no Veronica Mars, etc. Just like the 1980s films of John Hughes (The Breakfast Club), it set the standard to which all others must be compared. As nice as it is to have the show on DVD, it should be noted that not all musical selections made the cut, i.e. "Music has been changed for this home entertainment version." Otherwise, this guilty pleasure remains as pleasurable as ever. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great beginning to great show
I missed the beginning episodes of the show and was finally able to see what happened to the characters and how they all became friends.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Yay for "90210!"
Wow, what a blast from the past! I am thoroughly enjoying reliving my pre-teen years thanks to the "Beverly Hills, 90210" DVD sets. This classic cult series revolves around the 16-year-old Walsh twins, Brandon (Jason Priestley) and Brenda (Shannen Doherty), who undergo massive culture shock when their family relocates from Minnesota to sunny Beverly Hills, California. Brandon and Brenda adjust to their new lives pretty quickly, with the help of new friends Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garth), Steve Sanders ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - good. but old.
the plot is well written, but the show is too old for me to truly enjoy it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is where it all began. The 1st season of the best show ever created on television. Twins Brandon and Brenda begin their new lives in the posh world that is West Beverly High. In Beverly Hills, they learn life is slighlty different than what it was in Minneapolis.

The first season is a classic, we start to learn all about the complex cast of the show:

The Walsh Family: Jim, Cindy, Brandon, Brenda
Donna Martin - the forever pure
David ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - one of my favorite shows of all time
Although I was too young to watch 90210 when it originally aired, I began watching it soon after it ended, and have since been watching the re-runs on TV throughout the years (mainly on SOAPnet) and it has easily become one of my favorite shows, especially Shannen Doherty (one of my favorite actresses) was a main character (aka Brenda Walsh) during the first four seasons. Anyway, I'm very greatful that this season, along with seasons 1-5 (soon to be 6 also) have been released, and hopefully seasons 7 ... Read More
