Does any one remember this show? The show followed the lives of a group of teenagers living in the posh, star-studded community of Beverly Hills, California and attending the fictitious West Beverly Hills High School and then fictitious California University. The show was created by producers Aaron Spelling and Darren Star. The "90210" in the title refers to one of the suburb's postal codes (or ZIP Code). Originally the central characters were fraternal twins Brandon (played by Jason Priestley) and Brenda Walsh (played by Shannen Doherty), who moved with their parents, Jim and Cindy, from Minneapolis to Beverly Hills. However, during the show's run, its focus shifted substantially. The show addressed many topical issues like date rape, alcoholism, drug abuse, teen suicide and teen pregnancy. The cast members, particularly Priestley and Luke Perry, became teen idols, while the series would make actresses Shannen Doherty and Tori Spelling household names. I use to like this show alot... My favorite character was Dillon,the rebel without a cause. This show had all type of interesting characters..nerd, bad boy, hot babes, good guy, jerk and the lis goes on. The high school they attended was the same one used for Sunnydale High in BTVS. I liked when the whole gang use to meet up at the Peach Pit...I think that what it was called?. Anybody watched it back in the day?

Oh yes... 90210! Dillon was a favourite of mine too he had the bad boy side that Jason Priestly lacked. It actually got pulled over here after the second or so season for being too adult. Five actually re-ran the entire seasons over consecutive weekends in the wee hours of Saturday/Sunday and Sunday/Monday mornings. I didn't get a chance to catch most of them even on the re-run. 90210 and Baywatch used to be essential viewing when I was in my early teens, ah nostalgia. Whatever happened with Shannon Doherty anyway? I never have found out!

I watched this show from the beginning and until Tiffani Thiessen left the show. By then only few old cast members left in the rest were all those new characters I didn't really related to or cared about.
My favorite character was Brendon (kind of related to him the most) and Valerie (Always has a weak spot for Tiffani Thiessen, even since Saved By The Bell).

madvicks, i remember when channel 5 reran this show. i think i have only ever watched the first series. i dont remember when or why brenda left. the storylines were good because they were full of teenage problems. the cast still look very much older than 17 or 18 though! when i was in my lsat year of school my exam number was 9021 - it was so easy remember because of the show, and i even remember it now 13 years on!

OMG YES!!! i LOVE that show. I was so happy to see it come out on DVD. Season 2 comes out in march! wooo!
I used to watch it with my mom, every wednesday night! lol. Brenda left to become an actress, it was the show's "joke" on her because she was such a biotch to work with and Spelling was sick of her. Oy :S It's too bad she's so difficult to work with because she is really great.

I used to be so hooked up! I was so obsessed with that show. Mattel had released the barbie dolls (Dylan, Brenda, Brandon, Kelly and Donna)...I think I was starting that collectormania cuz I remember having all of those dolls!lol
Brenda was my favorite character...I guess it's because I like bitches! I swear her character was so complex.I liked Dylan a lot too, cuz Brandon (Jason Priestley) was just ton blend for me! Jennie Garth always seemed sweet as a person, but the character of Kelly got on my nerves for at least the 1st 2 seasons!
I saw Ian Ziering ( aka Steve) many times at the gym and in restaurants, as well as Gabrielle Carteris (Andrea) somewhere. I think my favorite season was the last season where Shannon was starring in (Season 4)...God, she was a rebel!
