DVD Reviews of Beverly Hills, 90210 - The Fourth Season
DVD Review: All About Shannen
Summary: 5 Stars
Season 4 is my favorite Season of "90210." This the best Season of this teen-friendly soapy drama because all the eps seemed much more grittier and realer. And the cast all seemed more confident and sure of themselves, because, by now "90210" was a huge worldwide hit!
Here's the tentative cover of this set! This will be an 8-disc set with a total of 31 original eps!
This is the Season 4 Cast of "90210" (listed in order of importance:)
Brenda Walsh (played by the Original Britney Spears ~ Shannen Doherty) - The Star
Brandon Walsh (Jason Priestley) - main cast, 2nd biggest star
Dylan McKay (Luke Perry) - main cast, "breakout" star
Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garth) - main cast
Donna Martin (Tori Spelling) - main cast
Steve Sanders (Ian Ziering) - main cast
David Silver (Brian Green, FKA Brian Austin Green) - main cast
Andrea Zuckerman Vasquez (Gabrielle Carteris) - main cast
Nat Bussichio (Joe E. Tata) - supporting character, not in every ep
Cindy Walsh (Carol Potter) - supporting character, not in every ep
Jim Walsh (James Eckhouse) - supporting character, not in every ep
Jesse Vasquez (Mark Damon Espinoza, AKA Mark D. Espinoza) - supporting, not on entire season or in every ep
In this Season I really started to appreciate Andrea. In prior Seasons, she was such a nagging pain-in-the-@ss (not unlike Melrose's Alison.) But in Season 4 her character changed dramatically. Andrea moved out on her own (in the CU dorm) and started dating, and by the end of the Season she was a married mother with a hubby and a baby!
For some reason the character of Brandon also changed a lot during Season 4. He was no longer the sweetie-pie boy-next-door. Brandon seemed somewhat arrogant. Maybe he was upset about still living at home? And, did you notice how in the very beginning of Season 4 his character almost seemed like the odd man out? All the other kids all seemed to have something going on (Steve and the Keg-house, Donna-David and Kelly in their new beach apartment, Bren with her new job, Andrea with her new romance and as usual Dylan was just trying to make it through the night.) But Brandon didn't really have much to say or do. Anywho, I didn't like him as much. Although, Bran was still (by far,) my favorite guy of this super-trendy Zip.
I also enjoyed Season 4 because of Brenda. Dylan was the "breakout" star, but Brenda was the fan-favorite because Bren wasn't afraid to show her true feelings or let it all hang out, so to speak. Did you notice how some storylines even mirrored Shannon 's personal life (quickie marriage, nude controversy and getting arrested and the possibility of going to prison.) A very wise person once said that there are no coincidences. And, I tend to agree.
These are the Season 4 eps:
So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye
The gang throws Bren a going-away party.
The Girl From New York City
Brenda can't deal with her over-sexed roommate, Darla (Wendy Benson-Landes.)

Howard offers David pills.

Mr. Walsh Goes to Washington
Andrea has her baby early. Brandon goes to Washington, Kelly soon follows. And, Brenda contemplates going to London. Note: in syndication this ep airs in 2-parts as it was a 2-hour show.
(Skip this if you don't like reading cryptic text.) As of today the p r*ce of this set is 41. 19. So far, this is the c *eapest set of "90210." If you're interested in getting it, I would p *ace my order now. A m@zon has a history of structuring their p r*ces in a really odd way; the p r*ces go up and down, not unlike a pure transient hotel rate. (TV Shows on DVD currently has the A m@zon pr*ce listed for this set as 38. 99, so I'm assuming that it has changed at least once over the past month, already!) By the way, I wouldn't be surprised if eventually A m@zon pulls this paged down as they also have a history of putting up pre-order pages way before the items go on sale only to yank the pages down a couple of weeks later. WTF! What's up with that??
As you know, this was also the final season for Shannen. I really hated to see Bren go, and as Donna said to her in the Season 4 finale, between sobs, "you're my best friend." Brenda always added a touch of realism and maybe even a bit of narcissism to the Walsh Home. But alas, poor Shannen left. Season 5 of "90210" was nowhere near as interesting or welcoming as Season 4 always was. Maybe because I was never crazy about that little hog, Valerie ("Saved by the Bell" butterball, Tiffani Thiessen, FKA Tiffani Amber Thiessen.) She was no Brenda. I also wasn't crazy about Kathleen Robertson. Fox took Shannen's salary and divided it among these two and still had (a lot of) money left over!
There has never been another TV show that was able to speak directly to the teen audience as "90210" always did!
Why is Shannen Doherty such a compelling and provocative superstar...?
More than fifteen years before Paris, Britney and trampy Lohan burst onto the Hollywood scene, Shannen was already a household name. Shannen became one of the hardest working women in Tinseltown because of her strong work ethic and sheer determination to excel at everything she stamped her good name on.
Today, Shannen has arguably become one of the most famed American actresses. But, in the late '70's and early '80s she was just an unknown child actor. Shannen got her big break on Father Murphy, playing Drusilla Shannon on Merlin Olsen's hit family-friendly series. A year later, Shannen again garnered critical-acclaim on another wholesome program; as Jenny Wilder in the modern-classic that is Little House on the Prairie . In fact, Michael Landon was so impressed with Shannen's acting and professional demeanor that he invited her to appear in the Little House TV movies even after the series was canceled!
In 1985 Shannen stared in the cult-classic, Girls Just Want to Have Fun. This was one of Shannen's first roles as a teen which also garnered her coast-to-coast exposure as a film actress. A couple of years later, Shannen was cast opposite two of the biggest teen stars (Christian Slater and Winona Ryder) of the '80s in one of the biggest teen movies of the '80s. Of course I'm talking about none other than Heathers !
In "Heathers" Shannen played Heather Duke, a stuck-up girl that was only interested in being as snobbish as possible. The same year that "Heathers" came out, Shannen also shot the pilot for a new TV series, originally titled Class Beverly Hills
A year later, Shannen's series was picked up and retooled. This time, the series was called 90210 . Shannen portrayed the star of the show, kind-hearted Brenda Walsh. Brenda was actually a lot like Shannen. She was sweet, beautiful and very intelligent. And, most of all, she (both Shannen and Brenda!) didn't take garbage from anyone!
Throughout four Seasons we all watched Shannen on "90210" as she grew up into a young woman. As anyone who was a child of the '90s knows, "90210" was a huge worldwide sensation. And this was all thanks to Shannen! After the first season of "90210" Shannen became a bona fide star!
Shannen also more than helped put the fledging Fox Network on the map. Prior to "90210," this network was simply known as an obscure TV station that more than 60% of the country did not receive! Once Shannen made "90210" a hit, Fox executives rolled out a "90210" spin-off in the summer of '92; Melrose Place ! And less than two years later, "90210" which begat "Melrose," begat "Models!" Although, Shannen refused to appear in any eps on either of those shows.
In 1993 Shannen shocked everyone when she eloped at the last minute with Ashley Hamilton. Everyone was shocked, but mostly, the Material Girl was seething, when she complained to MTV about being pushed off the cover of People Magazine so that they can make room for Shannen Doherty! A week later, newlywed Shannen went on Saturday Night Live, which received some of the highest ratings, ever!
Unbeknownst to Shannen, in the Winter of '94 nude photos of Shannen for an Aids awareness-campaign were published in a men's magazine, without her approval. When a reporter asked Shannen what Mr. Spelling would say about this, Shannen simply said, "ask me if I care!"
Shannen also stared in the blockbuster thriller, aptly titled "Blindfold." In this feature film, Shannen played sexy Madeleine Dalton in one of her most diverse and talked-about movie roles ever! This film also helped cement Shannen's role as a true actress with completely unique talent. Because the role she was cast in was the total opposite of Brenda Walsh!
In early '94 there was another controversy when E! News broke the story! Shannen was leaving "90210!" She specifically asked her producers to let her out of her contract. Shannen gave cryptic hints as to why she was leaving the series that she helped build.
Industry-insiders intimated that Shannen wanted out of the series for a two-fold reason. First, she couldn't relate to any of the other performers because most of them were all much older than her; by now, most of them were all in their twenties or thirties! And, Shannen also wanted to leave the series because, unlike the rest of the cast, she was an actual actress!
Never one to be typecast, Shannen portrayed the famed novalist, Margaret Mitchell, airing a few months after her lest ep of 90210 aired, in the Fall of '94. The movie, "A Burning Passion: The Margaret Mitchell Story" became an instant hit! It was also around this time that Shannen yet again made headlines when she proclaimed that she was just a "misunderstood, sweet, Southern Baptist girl!"
The following year, Shannen stared in the major motion picture, "Mallrats," opposite Ben Affleck. Shannen played Rene Mosier in this cult-classic comedy. And, Ben Affleck's character's name was a homage to Shannen!
Over the next few years, from '95 to '98, Shannen appeared in a variety of movies, such as: "Gone in the Night," "Friends 'Til the End," "Ticket" and "Nowhere." These films all afforded Shannen some of the best reviews of her entire career! It was also around this time that Shannen caught the attention of a very unlikely individual.
Mr. Aaron Spelling invited Shannen to consider the role of Prue Halliwell in the then-untitled series. Of course by now, we all know this was the hugely successful drama, "Charmed." The producers of this show lucked out when Shannen chose to sign on!
Unlike "90210," "Charmed" was science fiction, which was a totally new genre for Shannen. But Shannen totally fell in love with her new role and in fact stayed with the series for three years! Shannen even purchased a portion of the show! In 2001 Shannen experienced deja vu when the MSM reported that she was quiting another hit Spelling-series. This time Shannen kept mum as to why she was leaving, only saying that it was time to leave!
The producers of "90210" tried their hardest to get Shannen to come back for the series finale, but Shannen was much too busy to even consider such a fruitless project. She did consider letting the producers use images of herself from prior clips in their retrospective show, but then decided against it when no one could come to terms. (FYI: That's why Shannen doesn't appear as Brenda Walsh in any of the clips that are shown in the "90210" retrospective, this ep aired prior to the series finale!)
After leaving "Charmed," Shannen hosted the much-anticipated hidden camera series, "Scare Tactics." It also goes without saying that Shannen also appeared in a variety of other first-rate movies, such as: "View of Terror," "Another Day" and "Hell on Heels: The Battle of Mary Kay."
In 2006 Shannen got her own series on the Oxygen Network, "Breaking Up with Shannen Doherty." In this reality program, Shannen joined forces with people in relationship peril who wanted to have a little fun! In the summer of '06, Shannen appeared on Babs' "View" as a guest co-host. During the second segment (while interviewing Kristin Davis,) Elizabeth said to everyone, "this is such a surreal moment for someone my age, I'm sitting next to Brenda and Brooke!" EH, I can imagine just what you mean!!!
What's next for Shannen? She will be staring in the upcoming movie, "Defuct." Look for this movie in March of this year! And, Shannen just wrapped "Kiss Me Deadly;" a suspense-drama that will be out later this year!
Hate her...? ...Love her? Or, do you just love to hate her? Whatever you feel about Shannen, you can't deny that for nearly thirty years she has been a pop-culture phenomenon! And, unlike today's panjandrums Shannen never went kooky and has true talent!
