The _Beverly Hills 90210_ thread

Color me Badd! The Cardigans! The Flaming Lips! The fucking Cramps!

The quote is "This alternative music isn't bad!" about Flaming Lips.

luv you Steve Sanders

Haha yasss

at the time I had the distinct impression that the show was def trying to launch his music career, a bid for cross-platform brand synergies blah blah blah

So basically, "The Heights 2.0"?

Wait... the Cramps!? I def dont remember that!

Babyface and Jade otoh

so wtf we got to the Flaming Lips episode and their scene was edited out! I also noticed that the episode with Jade was missing, as was the episode with Color Me Badd. I assume Hulu must have some problem securing the music rights...? So fucking lame.

Yep.

I have reached the end. In the season 5 finale Kelly *almost* becomes a lesbian, Steve hits on a transvestite, Brandon makes out with Valerie, Ray pushes Donna down the stairs, and Dylan gets dangled out of a funicular by a mobster. Everything has become so ridiculous *all the time* I'm now inclined to accept Alfred's initial estimation that after the first 2 seasons any semblance of recognizable teenage reality began to be eroded in favor of silly soap opera hijinks.

Dylan's past-life regressions were p funny tho. I think I liked "Hobo Dylan" the best.

Wife and I did a complete re-watch a few years back and I remember being pleasantly surprised by the second-to-last season, whichever one that is. If memory serves, Valerie puts the show on her back and carries it. Don’t give up yet!

my wife has soldiered on to season 6 w out me (she claims she will only watch it until Donna loses her virginity lol), I can't take it anymore

poor Mr. and Mrs. Walsh up and left for Japan

What in the

The six-episode "event series" will see original stars Jason Priestley, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green and Tori Spelling play heightened versions of themselves shopping a reboot of, what else: 'Beverly Hills, 90210.'

The new 90210 is described as irreverent and is inspired by the six original stars' real lives and relationships.

i was worried this would be an RIP thread, like maybe Joe E Tata

Yeah same. Damn we old now. A stroke!

I'm bummed this new miniseries is a meta-faux-reality TV thing and not, like, a proper reunion of the fictional characters "in-universe".

lol this one took me by surprise last night
https://ew.com/tv/beverly-hills-90210-guest-stars/?slide=5567472#5567472

huh Gabrielle Carteris is SAG-AFTRA president

Voted most likely to do just that at West Beverly iirc

lol

most unlikely to be granted her own talk show

in the episode where the gang wrestles with an anti-semitic/Nation of Islam-type "controversial" african american speaker coming to campus, Brandon gets in the classic line "Maybe we should have just invited Bill Cosby instead"

omg i just saw that episode

gotta be honest tho that grandma's got nothing on Andrea's first grandma

haha yes, too many grandmas!

possibly the most "LOL 90s" episode

nobody knows how many grandmas Andrea actually had, but they all survived Buchenwald

Grandma Rose (Grandma 1 )

this actress is amazing, she also played Maxine on Desperate Housewives lol

lol xp. sorry image so big. but tbh she deserves it

And she walked around in a bathrobe all day!

lol remember when she wouldn't lie about her address for Andrea's sake about

about

YES. omg Andrea got so upset. honestly Andrea upset is one of the most comical things to watch, she just gets so worked up

wait I thought Andrea played Andrea and Andrea's grandmother

lol. did you know that Andrea is the current president of the Screen Actor's Guild??!??!?!?! like where did that come from?

lol remember when she wouldn't lie about her address for Andrea's sake about

this is what came to mind when I read "Andrea's grandma". so yes I remember. can't remember the name of my friend's stepdaughter but I remember a minor plot point from 90210.

i mean, it was a big deal for Andrea

what *isn't* a big deal for Andrea

I like how her husband (MARK DAVID ESPINOZA) got an opening credit after being on the show less than two seasons - up yours, Joe E. Tata!

Ta-ta!

musta had a mafia-backed agent, tho you'd think Joe E Tata would be the one with that

That actress is Lainie Kazan!

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.

She’s also only 21 years older than Gabrielle Carteris.
