Beverly Hills 90210/Expert Profile


Ask A Question

Expertise

I have seen all 10 seasons of 90210 and have every episode on tape to locate answers. My expertise is on the first 6 seasons and the characters Brenda and Dylan, but I will attempt to answer any question pertaining to the show. Please no scene/dialogue questions because they are very time-consuming and frustrating. However, I will be happy to clarify misunderstood dialogue due to whispering and such if I'm able to. I will attempt to answer any song question for the original airdates and syndication. NO DVD SONG QUESTIONS PLEASE. Please see my "Life Experience" in my profile for song question updates, it may pertain to your question.

Experience in the area

I have every single episode on tape to find the answers. I watched and taped the show religiously. (All requests for copies of my videotapes/episodes will be declined.)
Update: The song used in "Crunch Time" during David's meth addiction is "Living In A Fantasy" by The Rainbow Band. Many thanks to the fellow 90210 Fan that contacted me with the info when they tracked it down. Also, the song used in "One Wedding and a Funeral" that Dylan & Toni dance to is "Nobody Knows Me" by Lyle Lovett. Same song is used during the scene where Dylan is crying while holding the wedding dress and then kitten. David & Donna's wedding song is "Spend My Life With You" by Eric Benet & Tamia. Same song was Steve & Janet's wedding song.

Education/Credentials

Pertaining to BH90210: fan since original airing on Fox going back to 1991. Saw 1st season from reruns & syndication.

What do you like about this subject?

I grew up with this show. The issues on the show made you think what would you do in that situation. I'm also now a life-long fan of Shannen Doherty and Luke Perry.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I'm still catching things I missed the first time around from the repeats, my tapes, and the questions I get asked.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

According to Aaron Spelling, Shannen Doherty was not fired from the show in 1994. He said it was a mutual decision on both of their parts and she was released from her contract. He also said that if she was half as bad as media sources made her out to be that he would never had hired her for other Spelling projects (Charmed).

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

The show was banned in Singapore in the early 90s for it's depiction of teenagers in a sexual nature.

I do believe that sound is music made specifically for the show, I refer to it as "show background music". If so, it was created by whichever behind-the-scenes people responsible for that area of the show
