Morning After Report: 90210 Episode 6 'Model Behavior'
First, are you caught up? The adult son of an aging actress moves home to Beverly Hills from planet Kansas with his wife and two kids and they realize life here is, like, totally different. Bowling goes from uncool to cool, the Peach Pit serves Dr. Pepper by the case, and while drugs are generally bad, sex happens to be generally good.
Morning After Report: 9-0-2-1-OMG! (Episodes 1 & 2)
Eight years ago, loyal fans (because after 10 years on the air, that's all that were left) watched onetime geek David Silver marry longtime love Donna Martin on the series finale of Beverly Hills, 90210. The zip code was silenced, along with the eternal and rotating love triangles, the token bitch, the--gasp!--shocking family secrets, and the pulpy remains of what began as an edgy teen drama about fraternal twins from Minnesota trying to fit in at West Beverly Hills High.

If you missed 90210 the first time around, it's hard to explain. It was an instantaneous, un-self-aware camp classic. It was absolutely unwatchable while demanding that you HAD TO WATCH.

Ian Ziering, before he danced with the stars, played the cool guy -- until the producers noticed that everyone hated him, and they made him the buffoon.

Driving Lessons for Starlets...
So we applaud the latest law that requires proper disposal of batteries, but LAist would like to suggest another one for the books: A state law requiring Hollywood starlets, past and present, to take a special driving test every other year. We're pushing this proposal in light of 90210's Shannen Doherty traffic incident on PCH yesterday.
