SONGS FROM 90210 SERIES
However, Shannen brought an inventiveness to the series which was never regained. However, after a weak start, Tiffani-Amber Thiessan ("Valerie Malone") became a very impressive cast member. The loss of Shannen Dougherty ("Brenda Walsh") was the series first major blow, and the series slipped badly her first season away (the fifth). This is only slightly less true for college students, but it's a whole different ball game by the time one gets out of school and into the "real world " and, by the time these episodes were written and produced, the characters were no longer fresh. However, I believe they were also the easiest to plot, since teenagers have more restrictions on their behavior and their problems are generally more direct, easier with which to relate and generally easier to resolve. While all three shows are above average, the "high school teenagers in love" episodes are the best. Compare that to the more prestigious soaps, "Dynasty" and "Dallas." On "Dallas" alone, two actors played Gary Ewing, Digger Barnes, Miss Ellie and Kristen Shepherd (who shot J.R.), and three actors played Jenna Wade, and all of these characters were more important to the show's plotting than Andrea's grandmother.
To the best of my knowledge, only one character was played by two different actresses, that being Andrea Zuckerman's grandmother. The producers are to be commended for keeping the cast remarkable intact, even down to the minor characters. Nobody else has ever done this, at least to my knowledge. The creative talent managed to produce three above average shows with an amazing consistency of story lines and talent, using mostly the original cast. Actually, "Beverly Hills 90210" is three different shows: an excellent "high school teenagers in love" show a very good "college kids antics" show and a good "Yuppies in love" show. Why do I say this? Because "Beverly Hills 90210" survived two radical format changes and remained consistently watchable for its entire 10 year run.

I'm glad I did, because "Beverly Hills 90210" is, in my opinion, the best written and produced continuing drama in TV history. However, when the Soap Opera Channel offered the show in sequence five days a week and my wife encouraged me to watch it with her, I reluctantly agreed. The affairs of rich kids in Beverly Hills really didn't interest me and, even though Jennie Garth and Tiffani Amber-Thiessan are real eye candy, that wasn't enough to tie me to watching a weekly continuing drama with what I thought would be such an uninteresting subject.
While "Beverly Hills 90210" was making its ten year run, I never watched a single episode.
