Denim jackets, scrunchies, spandex with a mix of of pleasure, problems and every social issue from drug addiction, alcoholism, pregnancy and porn . The original Beverly Hills 90210, an iconic drama that spanned an entire decade in the 90's, left an unforgettable mark in television history.

Television writers must be running out of juicy story lines, captivating characters and attention
grabbing topics but instead of putting down the pen
till a sizzling idea comes arise they are taking the easy way out. Re-creating shows that should be left alone, re-structuring story lines and characters and forcing out re-makes that just don't shine. Between 90210 and Melrose Place there is nothing comparable about these contemporary re-makes except the title. Painful to watch, the characters and story lines are cliche, far-fetched and unrelatable.


Glued to the TV as a little girl, I remember running to the bathroom to put on my mothers red lipstick in order to feel "pretty" and grown up, just like Kelly Taylor. Maybe if I wore lipstick and a push up bra I would fit in with my favorite cast. Then maybe even a chance with ever so sexy Dylan McKay, ahhhhh.

A poor attempt to re-create such a memorable show, should have left well enough alone. Growing up with the original cast, a true fan of of Donna Martin graduates, Steve Sanders and his ridiculous neon pants along with Valarie, David and Kelly Taylor. Ms. Taylor, who despite being shot, raped, a burn victim, addicted to drugs, brain washed and an on-going love triangle her exquisite blonde hair shined right up until that final kiss... with Dylan McKay.

Here is to the original Beverly Hills 90210... the peach pit, after dark and a group of friends who go through an endless series of crisis and drama and somehow become personally involved in every social issue of the 90's. It's real stuff, pretty faces, awesome attire and a decade of fun.
