DVD Reviews of Beverly Hills, 90210 - The Complete First Season

DVD Review: Great beginning to great show
Summary: 5 Stars

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.

DVD Review: Yay for "90210!"
Summary: 5 Stars

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 (Ian Ziering), Donna Martin (Tori Spelling), Andrea Zuckerman (Gabrielle Carteris), and of course the James Dean-esque Dylan McKay (Luke Perry). Season 1 contains some of the show's most famous episodes, including Brenda's experience manning the teen hotline, Kelly's mother's first rehab stint,and of course Brandon's DUI. Yes, the show is hokey, but I absolutely love it! The series looks great on DVD, and the boxed set also includes several cast interviews and other bonus features, which are a lot of fun to watch. I cannot wait to publish this review and start watching Season 2!

DVD Review: good. but old.
Summary: 4 Stars

the plot is well written, but the show is too old for me to truly enjoy it.

DVD Review: Amazing.
Summary: 5 Stars

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 Silver - the geeky younger kid
Kelly Taylor - the LA girl with the reputation she fought so hard to shake
Steve Saudners - spoiled rich kid
Andrea Zuckermann - the 30 year old playing a high school kid
Dylan - the loose cannon who make his way into our hearts
any many more.....


If you are new to 90210, our too young to have seen this show, please run out and get this. It will make you forget that they have tried to remake this gem with that new show that is out now.

DVD Review: one of my favorite shows of all time
Summary: 5 Stars

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 7-10 will soon follow. And yes, it is disappointing that music has been changed, and scenes have been cut, but I'm still have to be able to own this show on DVD (after all, I can watch the original versions on TV, but with the DVDs, ill be able to watch my favorite episodes anytime I want!)

Although some of the earlier seasons have a lot of episodes that may be considered tacky and laughable nowadays (especially season 1, seeing as how it started in 1990!) I love them because like I said, they feature Shannen Doherty, and during season 1 you get to see her characters relationship with Dylan Mckay, played by Luke Perry (in my opinion, they will always be one of the cutest TV couples ever!)

Now I'm sure for the most part, a majority of you have heard of "90210" and have atleast seen an episode or two (after all, the show was on for 10 years!) but here's a brief summary of season 1, just in case:

The long-running series begins with the arrival of the Walsh family (brenda, Brandon, and their two parents, Jim and Cindy), who move from Minnesota to Beverly Hills. Brenda (played by Shannen Doherty) and her twin brother, Brandon (played by Jason Priestley) have different ways of adjusting to their new home. Brenda quickly befriends Kelly Taylor, the most popular girl in school, and begins to feel the pressures that come along with running in such a social circle (in the early episodes she gets a fake ID, sneaks into a club where she meets an older guy and lies to him about her age, and even plans on losing her virginity to him until he finds out her true age) meanwhile, Brandon has a harder time fitting in, until he befriends Steve Sanders (the most popular guy in school) joins the school newspaper, run by Andrea Zuckermann (aka the school-nerd, played by Gabrielle Carteris) and becomes friends with a cute, mysterious loner named Dylan Mckay (played by Luke Perry, who eventually becomes Brendas boyfriend and first love) also among the cast? Donna Martin (played by Tori Spelling) who is a friend of Kelly's, and David Silver (played by Brian Austin Green) a geeky freshman who is desperate to be popular (he eventually becomes part of the infamous 90210 gang) and crashes Steve Sanders car in the pilot episode when Steve drunkenly insists that he drive his car home for him.

During this season, you'll see how Brenda and Brandon adjust to life in Beverly Hills, Brendas new popular girl status, find out that Kelly Taylor isn't as perfect and problem free as people perceive her to be, how Brandon and Dylan become friends...etc...and best of all: how Dylan and Brenda meet, and the beginning of their two-year relationship (I never grow tired of watching the "spring fling" episode, in which Brenda loses her virginity to him!)

The thing I love most about this show is the great chemistry that all the actors have together (which you'll continue to see grow as the show progresses)

So if you still have not watched this show, what are you waiting for?!

Description of Beverly Hills, 90210 - The Complete First Season

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.
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
