-- DONNA MARTIN GRADUATES!! DONNA MARTIN GRADUATES!! DONNA MARTIN GRADUATES!! DONNA MARTIN GRADUATES!! DONNA MARTIN GRADUATES!!
-- Brenda ripping into Dylan and Kelly on the street when she found out they'd been seeing each other during the summer. This might have been Brenda's finest moment (the ep when she snuck away to Baja with Dylan is right up there) but it was also one of her last scenes that was decent in any way.
-- Dylan giving David the straight talk on drugs and helping him flush his stash down the toilet.

1. BAG getting hooked on speed or meth or whatever and zooming through his college radio show2. The “racism is bad” episode, post L.A. riots3. Jason P’s descent into alcoholism and exit from the show (what happened there plotwise? I had stopped watching by the time this went down – once they got to college and Brenda left it got boring boring boring)4. Gabby having an affair with a heartless married dude that was discovered by sensitive Luke Perry5. the episodes that spun off into Melrose Place6. Perry’s dad’s (grizzled vet from Days) boat blowing up real good7. The episodes where Dylan rescues his sister from a kidnapping so convoluted I can’t recall teh details now

Nope, that was Dylan's dad (also a Days of Our Lives regular, as Raymond noted).
Another daytime soap connection: Kelly's dad was played by the actor that played C.C. Capwell on "Santa Barbara".

He's also Roman Brady on Days Of Our Lives, which my wife shamefully watches.
In the fall of 1999, I started watching re-runs of 90210 on FX every night from 5-7 when I was getting home and making dinner and such. This was the last year that actual new episodes were on the air, so I ended up watching the entire ten year run of the show (reruns on FX, new epidoses on Fox) in about 9 months. It was pretty intense, and I've not watched it or even thought much about it since then.
There was a time though when I was really drunk and trying to make up rap lyrics about 90210 - the only bit I remember was "getting lost like the Martian lander / cheating on the big test like Steve Sanders".
And what is Jamie Walters doing RIGHT NOW?

I mean, FFS, I was well old enough to know better but still remember getting into fake spats about whether Dylan or Brandon was hotter.
My former housemate in NYC was also hooked - but, as she pointed out "It's only really good when someone has a really awful addiction" which was, like, every other week.

The Walshes agree to let their maid's extremely intelligent "niece," Carla, use their address to enroll at West Beverly. Brandon falls hard for her, but doesn't understand why everyone seems opposed to their relationship. Carla reveals that she witnessed a drive-by shooting that claimed the life of a four-year-old; she had moved in with Anna while waiting to testify, with protection from the D.A. Carla returns to her family after one of the killers confesses. Jim and Cindy organize a soiree for his new client, a sportswear designer. Dylan, Steve and the girls receive free clothing. David wants MC Hammer to perform at the school dance.Music: "Let's Go Deeper" by MC Hammer; "Finger Poppin' Time" by Hank Ballard and the Midnighters (#7, 1960); "Deep Down" by Debbie Gibson

. Stand (Up) and Deliver (edit)Community Score7.5 GoodFirst aired: 3/7/1991 Production Code: 2190016
Andrea persuades Brandon to run for class president. Kelly seizes control of the campaign and encourages Brandon to capitalize on his looks and image. She even agrees to a date with David in exchange for his help producing a campaign video. Brandon decides that he isn't the best man for the job after talking with his bright and dedicated opponent. Brenda, feeling neglected by family and friends, begins hanging out at a coffeehouse. Sky, a performance artist, convinces Brenda to drop out of high school and get her GED so that she can "experience life." Brenda moves out of the Walsh house to apartment-sit for Sky. She learns that life as an artist is not as romantic as it seems, as Sky's utilities are turned off and her furniture is repossessed. Music: "Hippychick" by Soho

37. U4EA (edit)Community Score8.2 GreatFirst aired: 11/14/1991 Production Code: 2191036
Emily invites everyone to join her at an underground club. The location is a secret; the gang must exchange an egg at a convenience store for this information. The others leave without Steve and Andrea, who end up going to the wrong store and embarrassing themselves. Kelly is mortified when David drinks an entire bottle of whiskey, but Donna dances with him and has a good time. Emily slips a drug called U4EA into Brandon's drink to get him to loosen up. He is too wasted to drive, and vandals trash his car when he leaves it at the club overnight. Brandon does not expose Emily's deed to his parents, but breaks up with her because he no longer trusts her. Music: "Hold on to Love" by T'Pau

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.

holy shit
Her popularity increasing, Kazan posed nude for the October 1970 issue of Playboy, which was reused in Pocket Playboy #4, issued in 1974. Her appearance in the magazine opened the door for her to headline at, and operate, two different Playboy Jazz Clubs. Overseen by Hugh Hefner himself, the clubs were called "Lainie’s Room West" and "Lainie's Room East," each on opposite coasts, with the first one located in Los Angeles and the other in Manhattan. Her Playboy photographs inspired the look of Jack Kirby’s DC Comics superheroine, Big Barda.

The rave episode, the Flaming Lips appearance but honestly maybe the musical moment that marks a time and place is right in the pilot where Brenda goes to that nightclub and Gene Loves Jezebel's "The Motion of Love" is what's on their soundsystem. (Especially since it was 1990 and that came out three years prior, but maybe that makes sense for the sleazy lawyer making the moves.)

I was too young to watch this at the time, but have been dipping in when I feel like some '90s cheese--so I tend to go straight to the "very special" episodes such as "Ashes to Ashes", where a Black family moves in next door and face hassles with the neighborhood private security. ("A scheduled April repeat of this episode was pulled from the air without notice following the Los Angeles riots because it was supposedly too controversial" sez Wikipedia.)
Having served their afterschool special role, this family is never seen again on the show.
A kind soul on the internet has done editing work to restore the original music back into the episodes and uploaded them onto Google Drive. If the email linked to my ILX account still existed I'd be happy to share the link, but alas.
