Yeah, it was Donna's mom. David's dad couldn't keep his pants zipped up (choice line, "I have trouble/problems with monogamy") which led to their breakup a couple of years after baby Erin was born.

things i remember:
wondering why these rich kids all had such boring middle class suburban surnames
wondering how they could do a whole episode based around brenda smoking but dylan was high on smack and driving off cliffs in a vintage porsche every other minute.
the college years episode where donna finds out andrea is pregnant and andrea says 'look donna, it was fun being virgins together but im not like that anymore'. so much fun!
hating that stupid hand-fist smacky smack thing the guys did when they greeted each other because i just knew they were doing that off camera too.
davids hammer pants

The best part of the “Donna Martin Graduates” story line actually took place the next year when Brandon was sought out and recruited by the California University Progressive Party to run for the Student Senate because they were so impressed that he organized the “Donna Martin Graduates” protest.
Second, good ol' X-Entertainment with The Wacky Dads of 90210.
Then there's the actual Donna Martin Graduates blog, with "Stories from the front lines of inner-city elementary school education, as told by a bad teacher at a good school in an above-average district." It has not been updated for a year and a half.

Doctor Barry, i forgot to tell you last night that i now curse your name for ever reminding me of Joe E. Tata. i finally had peace, now that the show has been off the air so long, because (i have NO idea why but) his name and his oddly limited acting career sticks in my mind even more than Ornaldo Bloomps.

A GIS for Joe E. Tata turns up extremely limited results! Come on Kim, you should be thanking me here. Can you name another character on a long-running hit TV show that was as lovingly useless as Nat? We should be celebrating his name.

I actually watched some clips of some cast reunion show and Priestly said a cogent thing, when they were talking about THE HAIR, he was like "well it was the '80s!" and the others said "it was the '90s!" and he said "okay..it was the early '90s... but it was the '80s!" ... BH90210 really melded that '80s stuff with the '90s in such a weird way.

Wait, what?
Today, the CW ordered the pilot of a "90210" spinoff of sorts penned by Rob Thomas, creator of "Veronica Mars," and executive produced by two members of the "Veronica Mars" producing team, Dan Etheridge and Jennifer Gwartz.In this contemporary version, the Walshes have been replaced by a central family consisting of a grandmother who was a huge star in the 1970s, her do-gooder son and his athletic wife, and their two teenagers. Their 16-year-old daughter is described as an aspiring and talented actress, and their adopted son is also 16. He's highly intelligent, but with lingering behavioral issues. The pilot will be directed by Mark Piznarski, who has directed episodes of "Gossip Girl," "Friday Night Lights" and "Veronica Mars." The network will begin casting the project soon.

very excited to dig back in, but slightly nervous as well -- kelly and brenda are about to have their fight. over dylan. i hate it when best friends debunk.

There's a blog title.

Season Three is probably the best acted and most realistic, if you care about that sort of thing. It sucks that the DVD couldn't license the original music; I miss hearing "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" blasting while Kelly and Dylan are snuggling in front of a campfire, both thinking about their friend in Paris making googly eyes at Dean Cain.

I now have the explanation:
It's happening! It's REALLY happening!The CW has confirmed that the spin-off of "Beverly Hills, 90210" will be on its fall lineup. As if there was ever a question, but we're excited anyway.The contemporary version of the 1990s FOX hit will focus on a family that reflects today's celebrity culture: a grandmother (Jessica Walter) who was a huge star in the 1970s and now likes to hit the bottle a bit; her son, who is the new Beverly Hills high school principal, and his ex-Olympic athlete of a wife (Lori Loughlin) who are both thirtysomething; and their two teenagers. The daughter (Shenae Grimes) is -- what else? -- an aspiring actress. The son is a brainiac with behavioral issues.But it wouldn't be possible to have a spin-off without a visit from the ghosts of West Beverly High past. Jennie Garth will be reprising her role as Kelly Taylor. Only this time, she's a guidance counselor at her alma mater. The role is recurring.The rest of the cast includes Ryan Eggold, AnnaLynne McCord, Dustin Milligan, Michael Steger, Jessica Stroup and Tristan Wilds.Asked what the title of the show will be, a CW spokesman said: "90210." We'll take it!
