Beverly Hills, 90210 – was a show that I was not allowed to
watch as a kid. My mom thought it was far too risky for my eight year old self
to be allowed to watch. Unjustly, my sister could watch this show, and all I
wanted to do was sneak this. I would try my darnest and just sit and be so
quite on the couch in hopes Mom wouldn’t catch me still there eyes glued.
Sometimes I might have gotten the first tiny bit before I was told to go to
bed. I knew this show was cool, and my friends and I would call play Barbies
with the character names from the show – I always wanted to be Brenda (she
wasn’t so bitchy in the beginning) and my friend loved Andrea (who I thought
was a total nerd). Once I became an adult I watched the entire series on
SoapNet when that network was still on and was good for all the reruns in
chronological order. I’ve learned many a life lesson from watching one of the
best shows ever (and really could have totally spent better parts of my adult
years not watching TV, but I’ll blame Mom for not letting me watch in my youth). Some of the better life lessons?
Brandon Walsh will always be the boy scout, and Dylan McKay will be the bad boy that you shouldn't want to be with, but oh he's so broken and dreamy. You should pick Brandon, he's going to treat you better then Dylan.
Brandon works with the coolest adults in both his jobs, anyone else pick up on that the Beach Club boss is none other then Richard Weber from Grey's? Nat and Richard (cannot remember his name from 90210) treated B.Walsh with respect but also stepped in when he needed some non-parental adult guidance.
Everything can be solved at the Peach Pit. I've always wanted to have a place like the Peach Pit in my life, you know some of your friends will always be there anytime you swing by.
Mrs. Walsh (Cindy) gives the best advice - everyone wanted a mom like Cindy.
If you make a mistake, your friends will rally around you, hence the title. When Donna was drunk at the prom, because David's dad gave the kids champers, she was told she could not graduate. Low and behold a rally was held, and the entire school chanted "Donna Martin Graduates".
