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

Movie Review: Retro 90s fun- first season is my favorite
Summary: 5 Stars

I started sixth grade when Beverly Hills 90210 aired in October 1990. I remember girls talking about how cute Dylan McKay was. The first episode I watched was Perfect Mom, where Brenda presumes Kelly and her mother have a picture perfect relationship. I never really "got into" 90210 until CBS made them available online. I watched the pilot and got hooked! The show has its lame moments, it is dated, but it is still fun to watch!!! My favorite characters are Brenda and Brandon Walsh. The Walsh family is likeable and realistic. The show isn't as dramatic as it became. Rather, each episode presents a different situation a teen might be dealing with. From addict parents to alcohol, shoplifting to abuse, as well as some more lighthearted moments, like the episode where Brenda cares for a stray dog and Brandon coaches a snotty little league team. Some younger viewers might find the show dated and irrelevant, but for the last of the "Gen Xers", this show is perfect.

The music, fashions, and lingo will take you back to your 1990-1991 schoolyear. I remember the high-waisted jeans, scrunchies, belts, etc. Not to mention the music- Concrete Blonde's Joey makes an appearance in One Man and His Baby. The lingo "bro", "Hey B!", and Hey D!"

All in all, check out season one. If you don't like it, at least you'll get a feel for early 90s America.

Summary of Beverly Hills, 90210 - The Complete First Season

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

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.System Requirements:Running Time: 1068 MinutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 097360382440 Manufacturer No: 038244
