the plot is well written, but the show is too old for me to truly enjoy it.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is where it all began. The 1st season of the best show ever created on television. Twins Brandon and Brenda begin their new lives in the posh world that is West Beverly High. In Beverly Hills, they learn life is slighlty different than what it was in Minneapolis.
The first season is a classic, we start to learn all about the complex cast of the show:
The Walsh Family: Jim, Cindy, Brandon, Brenda
Donna Martin - the forever pure
David Silver - the geeky younger kid
Kelly Taylor - the LA girl with the reputation she fought so hard to shake
Steve Saudners - spoiled rich kid
Andrea Zuckermann - the 30 year old playing a high school kid
Dylan - the loose cannon who make his way into our hearts
any many more.....
If you are new to 90210, our too young to have seen this show, please run out and get this. It will make you forget that they have tried to remake this gem with that new show that is out now.

Although I was too young to watch 90210 when it originally aired, I began watching it soon after it ended, and have since been watching the re-runs on TV throughout the years (mainly on SOAPnet) and it has easily become one of my favorite shows, especially Shannen Doherty (one of my favorite actresses) was a main character (aka Brenda Walsh) during the first four seasons. Anyway, I'm very greatful that this season, along with seasons 1-5 (soon to be 6 also) have been released, and hopefully seasons 7-10 will soon follow. And yes, it is disappointing that music has been changed, and scenes have been cut, but I'm still have to be able to own this show on DVD (after all, I can watch the original versions on TV, but with the DVDs, ill be able to watch my favorite episodes anytime I want!)
Although some of the earlier seasons have a lot of episodes that may be considered tacky and laughable nowadays (especially season 1, seeing as how it started in 1990!) I love them because like I said, they feature Shannen Doherty, and during season 1 you get to see her characters relationship with Dylan Mckay, played by Luke Perry (in my opinion, they will always be one of the cutest TV couples ever!)
Now I'm sure for the most part, a majority of you have heard of "90210" and have atleast seen an episode or two (after all, the show was on for 10 years!) but here's a brief summary of season 1, just in case:
The long-running series begins with the arrival of the Walsh family (brenda, Brandon, and their two parents, Jim and Cindy), who move from Minnesota to Beverly Hills. Brenda (played by Shannen Doherty) and her twin brother, Brandon (played by Jason Priestley) have different ways of adjusting to their new home. Brenda quickly befriends Kelly Taylor, the most popular girl in school, and begins to feel the pressures that come along with running in such a social circle (in the early episodes she gets a fake ID, sneaks into a club where she meets an older guy and lies to him about her age, and even plans on losing her virginity to him until he finds out her true age) meanwhile, Brandon has a harder time fitting in, until he befriends Steve Sanders (the most popular guy in school) joins the school newspaper, run by Andrea Zuckermann (aka the school-nerd, played by Gabrielle Carteris) and becomes friends with a cute, mysterious loner named Dylan Mckay (played by Luke Perry, who eventually becomes Brendas boyfriend and first love) also among the cast? Donna Martin (played by Tori Spelling) who is a friend of Kelly's, and David Silver (played by Brian Austin Green) a geeky freshman who is desperate to be popular (he eventually becomes part of the infamous 90210 gang) and crashes Steve Sanders car in the pilot episode when Steve drunkenly insists that he drive his car home for him.
During this season, you'll see how Brenda and Brandon adjust to life in Beverly Hills, Brendas new popular girl status, find out that Kelly Taylor isn't as perfect and problem free as people perceive her to be, how Brandon and Dylan become friends...etc...and best of all: how Dylan and Brenda meet, and the beginning of their two-year relationship (I never grow tired of watching the "spring fling" episode, in which Brenda loses her virginity to him!)
The thing I love most about this show is the great chemistry that all the actors have together (which you'll continue to see grow as the show progresses)
So if you still have not watched this show, what are you waiting for?!

So with the launch of the new 90210 I decided to kick it old school and rewatch season 1. And remember why it's infinitely better than the tripe they're calling TV these days.
In season 1, the Cindy and Jim Walsh move from Minnesota to Beverly Hills, enrolling their twins, Brenda and Brandon, at West Beverly High. Life in Beverly Hills is full of trials and tribulations that the Walsh family has no experience with, including teenage drug use, rape, shoplifting, and racial tension. Oh my! Watching this season is like taking a trip back to the 90s on the oh-so-awesome train. I'd almost forgot how tragically hip teenagers were in 1990. The outfits themselves are worth the cost of these discs. Watch season 1 of 90210 when you're in the mood for a laugh and a blast from the past.
