90210

The Moments That Made 90210 Quite Possibly The Best Show EVER (in no particular order)

  1. Donna’s clothes with special appreciation paid to the “Gone With The Wind” dress and the mermaid costume.
  2. Kelly’s One True Love(s): Kelly and Dylan John Sears Dylan Brandon Dylan Brandon Colin Brandon Matt Dylan 4Ever
  3. High school students with receding hairlines
  4. David Dylan Kelly Donna is addicted to drugs. You would think after the first few times they would have been able to spot the warning signs a little better.
  5. Steve’s mullet
  6. Donna’s alien boobs
  7. Donna is a fashion designer (snerk)
  8. Brandon moves to WASHINGTON DC to work for the BOSTON GLOBE. Hee. I mean, they are kind of close, but that is still a bit of a commute.
  9. Brandon gets LOTS of action (Emily, Donna’s Senior Buddy, Lucinda Williams, Kelly, Susan, Tracy, Emma. AND he almost hooks it up with Andrea, Claire and Valerie)
  10. Dylan is rich. Dylan isn’t rich. Dylan is rich.
  11. Dylan’s dad is dead. Wait, no, just kidding. Fake Roman Brady LIVES!
  12. Donna’s magical virginity.
  13. Donna Martin Graduates!
  14. “Nice Girls” (Kelly, Donna) with many enemies
  15. Kelly is in a huge fire and ends up with a few burns on her hands and neck while the girl trapped with her is horribly disfigured.
  16. After those HORRIBLE burns, Kelly joins a (maybe)cult. The Cult Master is after the fortune she made on that ONE cover of Seventeen magazine. He tries to get her to hook it up with Dylan since Mr. McCay has oodles of money and Brandon does not.
  17. Instead of marrying Dylan for The Cult Master, she toys with the idea of becoming a lesbian with the burned girl (burns are miraculously all gone…Kelly likes ‘em pretty).
  18. “I choose me … or the lesbian girl … or Colin … or that guy that David is living with … Oh, who am I kidding? I can’t be alone. EVER.”
  19. David saves Donna from the stalker that is going to take her flower and kill her because Donna does some quick thinking (I know, shocking) and calls him, “Dave.”
  20. Kelly gets single white femaled by Tara, a.k.a Veruca, the Werewolf that broke up Oz and Willow… bitch.
  21. Brenda slaps Aaaaahndre-aaaah because the acting coach liked Aaaahndre-aaaaaah’s tour better. (who didn’t want to slap Aaaahndre-aaaaah?)
  22. Donna has an ice skating champion for a cousin (mmmm, Vanessa Marcil), I mean sister. Well, guess it depends which side of the family tree you are looking at.

There are many more, but I am ready to be done with this post.

Great list!

Glad to see I'm not the only one who can't separate actors from their characters as they move from show to show. I rarely call actors by their real name or their current character's name - Dylan's dad was always the Hogan family dad for me and Vanessa Marcil (Gina on 90210) is always "Brenda" (from General Hospital) to me even on Las Vegas and that Nicholas Cage movie "The Rock."
