I find it interesting that John Sears is basically the younger version of Dan Scott, Paul Johanssen's character on One Tree Hill. Makes me wonder about typecasting, because he's SO good at playing an asshole.

According to the recap site televisionofyore.com, this episode aired September 8,1993. It's possible it was shot in early August, but shows today usually start shooting in mid-July. But then, they may have shot two episodes at once like Melrose Place did, so maybe they didn't need as much lead time. In case you were wondering, that's how they fit in 30+ episodes in the same length of time that most shows only aired 22-24.

So, every time I listen to this on headphones, Jim's chewing in the office scene with Dylan drives me absolutely nuts. Don't talk with your mouth full, ass.

If I'd have been allowed to watch the show when it first aired, I'd have been an Andrea fan. I basically was Andrea, except I did band instead of journalism, and my valedictorian speech was way better than hers. But I would have watched an Andrea/Jordan spinoff. That sounds a whole lot better than the storyline she actually got.
It seems like writing pregnancies into the storyline rarely works--Nashville's attempt at writing in Hayden Panettiere's pregnancy was as bad, if not worse, than 90210's handling of GC's. I also think Tara is right about Brandon/Andrea being the intended endgame until GC's pregnancy forced them to go another way. I also think it's interesting that Andrea hooked up with two-thirds of the minority recurring characters. Supposedly Aaron Spelling regretted having so few PoCs on the show, but I don't know if I buy that.

There was a Donna Martin Graduates joke in the Rifftrax Live Sharknado 2 show, and I tweeted that I liked it, and the writer tweeted back that apparently I was the only one who even got it, and the responses were all either "I got it but I'm female" or "my wife/girlfriend got it and liked it." So I guess male nerds didn't watch 90210? Or at least, won't admit to it.

Is it just me, or does $22,500 a week not sound like very much for a main character on a highly rated TV show? I mean, the only reference I have is the current stars of Supernatural, who make $180,000 a week on the CW and get much lower ratings. Is inflation really that bad since the '90s or were the Bev Niners underpaid?

Also, why are they constantly saying each others' names? They know who's who. Do they think we don't? A drinking game based on that would also have you wasted by the first act break.

Remember watching this episode recently and Cindy was so happy to see David and he was grateful and courteous. He was so precious.
To you? Would you give the world to him?

You know, they could have made Jim's hatred of Jack so much more reasonable if they'd just had him say that one of his clients lost a lot of money to Jack. Then he'd have a personal connection and it would make so much more sense than the way they actually did it, which seemed really contrived.

For some reason I thought this was two episodes. I thought the first race was in a different episode than Andrea identifying the car. But maybe this plotline was so boring it just seemed endless.

My geometry teacher wasn't allowed to be alone in a room with a female student even with the door open. And he was married to the AP English teacher.

I didn't notice it at first, but Brenda's eyes look pretty wonky in the picture on the homepage. Now I can't unsee it.

I sincerely hope they're planning to do seasons 5 and 6. There are some pretty great storylines (like Single White Tara and Dylan's disappearing money) that I'd love to hear Tara and Sarah comment on.

The end of this episode reminds me of one of the Pixar Rules of Storytelling: "Coincidences to get the character into trouble are great. Coincidences to get the character out of trouble are cheating." In other words, that ending is bulls---.

90210 and Melrose Place have the longest seasons in modern TV, I think. 32 episodes in one season is unheard of now. 90210 pulled it off with the summer episodes, while MP filmed multiple episodes at once. It makes binge-watching them take forever.

A clarification on the Kara Danvers thing: there is a point in Supergirl comics from the '80s (maybe? Or the '70s) where Supergirl is not Kara Zor-El, but is a human (I think) named Linda Danvers. I'm not nearly as conversant in Supergirl history as I am in Superman, so other people might be able to explain that better, but that's what the reference is, and it has nothing to do with Captain Marvel.

Yes we do, in season 4 or 5. Its a surprising amount of continuity for this show.

Apparently Douglas Emerson asked to be downgraded to a recurring character for season 2 and I guess it was a harbinger of him leaving the show. I'm pretty sure he did quit acting entirely after that. I guess maybe it wasn't what he expected it to be? It was his first role, wasn't it?

My best friend growing up used a wheelchair and it wasn't really a Big Thing at all, so I guess it must be different if you get injured later in life versus being born that way? Because my friend was not the least bit self-pitying or resentful like Bobby is in this episode. Everything about this episode bugs me and I'm glad you guys were on the same wavelength. I know people in real life do actually act like that, but I think the writers did real disabled people a disservice by not having anybody call the Walshes out on their condescension. This episode is so tone-deaf it's painful.

Since my introduction to Stephanie Beacham was SeaQuest DSV, where she played a competent and fairly maternal doctor, I just can't buy her as a hippie flake. The weird voice/line reading issues don't help. And I was wondering whether Iris was meant to be independently wealthy, since Dylan says in 2.03 that she was always throwing money at him. Since she lives in Hawaii, which I understand isn't cheap, and doesn't seem to have a living-wage job, I figure she's got to have family money. Although I think I might have put more thought into that than the writers did...

It was kind of funny watching this episode after seeing Ian Ziering and Vivica A. Fox together in Sharknado 2 the night before. I wondered if either of them even remembered filming this episode.

Question (if anyone knows) - why is this episode not available on YouTube or Hulu?? This used to be one of my favorite episodes. My sister and I would watch it over and over again on our taped-from-tv VHS copy. I want to see it again!
I would assume it's a music rights problem, probably with the girls' performance. There's no way to cut it and still have the episode make any sense.

For some reason, at the very end of the podcast when Tara says that Brenda asked Dylan if he boned Emily, I thought she said "did he phone Emily" and I was like, why would she care if Dylan called Emily...oh, wait, that's not what she said. Facepalming ensued.

Now how long until they're exchanging eggs and having U4EA slipped into their drinks?
About six more episodes, so about 3 weeks of podcasts.

S04.E05: Radio Daze
in Beverly Hills, 90210
Not necessarily. When I transferred from one small liberal arts college to another, my 200-level English class credit transferred but I still had to take freshman comp. I was told that it was required for everyone, full stop. Even though the professor took one look at my first assignment and told me I didn't need to be there. And I can buy Andrea not taking the AP English test because of the cost. She couldn't have afforded to take AP tests for every AP class she was in, I wouldn't think. I don't know if other schools paid it for their students but mine certainly didn't.
