Two hours of 90210 goodness. Hope you'll enjoy it.

But maybe that was because I was class of '98 (well, actually '99--I finished a year early) so it was kind of 'past the cool' by the time I was watching it. But I LOVED it. I swear I've seen every episode. Twice. And I met Jamie Walters once (yanno, Donna's singing bf who threw her down the stairs?) I totally went fangirl on him.<br /><br />But the best was when I actually worked in Beverly Hills, at an office IN the 90210 zip code. Yeah...I pretty much giggled every time I gave out the address. I'm awesome like that. ;)Shannon Messengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08003607156860716462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30155656.post-54061412530978159792010-09-02T10:58:47.000-07:002010-09-02T10:58:47.000-07:00He DOES have a hairless patch on his eyebrow!

But if it wasn't that, he would've been a drug dealer or an alcoholic or something else.

When I got older and they were out of college my best friend and I would sit on yahoo and watch the show chatting back and forth about what we liked and didn't like. <br />I tried to watch the new series, but I couldn't get into it. The original was just to hard to replace.<br />I have to say the only thing that every made me mad was when they made Ray start abusing Donna. I thought that was kind of crappy they made the blue collar guy be the abuser instead of some middle class or rich kid. I liked Ray. <br />You made my day a little brighter. Thanks. <br /><br />*I would love to know who contacted you about making the book into a movie. hee heeVegasJellyFishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552313789025290666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30155656.post-36714748545117166682010-09-02T06:43:18.959-07:002010-09-02T06:43:18.959-07:00See, that's how groundbreaking it was.

Long before Team Edward or Team Jacob, it was Team Dylan and Team Brandon.<br /><br />I'd forgotten about that because, among my guy friends, there was no lover's quarrel.

That was all the girls at school argued about. lol. <br /><br />Just last year, I was sitting on a couch in a hostel in Tokyo and a rerun of this came on. Every single person in the room was in their late 20's and 30's and had loved the show growing up. Watching it as adults, we couldn't believe how corny it was. lol. <br /><br />But like you said, groundbreaking.Claire Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354840714847021685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30155656.post-73823605671637230742010-09-02T05:47:58.741-07:002010-09-02T05:47:58.741-07:00You made my day, Jay Asher!
