Scarlett45 March 28, 2014 Share March 28, 2014 (edited) Hello I am a TwoP refugee! Nice to meet everyone. Happy to have a place to discuss our show, as soon as anyone knows of if/when another station begins airing it again. I just haven't been able to bring myself to purchase the DVDs, the original music is too important to the plot . Edited March 28, 2014 by Scarlett45 Link to comment
Chip March 28, 2014 Author Share March 28, 2014 I never really posted on TWoP, but still read recaps there and Mighty Big TV back when the internet was young. But I am a huge fan of many shows Aaron Spelling and wish I still had my Aaron Spelling website I made in the 1990's. But I will always talk about 90210 and will answer Badd if someone asks me my favorite color. 2 Link to comment
Shangrilala March 28, 2014 Share March 28, 2014 Former TWoP user here. Hello everybody! Link to comment
SPLAIN March 29, 2014 Share March 29, 2014 So, the DVD's don't have the original music? Is it generic music? Link to comment
desertflower March 29, 2014 Share March 29, 2014 Another TWoP refugee here. Hi guys. :) Splain, I have not seen the DVDs but have heard that yes, indeed, the music is generic and really takes away some of the emotional impact of a lot of the scenes. Link to comment
Marie Claudine March 29, 2014 Share March 29, 2014 Hi guys - another TwoP refugee here. Good to see some old acquaintances around here - and new names as well, of course! Splain, I own the DVDs (well, S1-8, anyway, I could never really warm up to the post-Walsh years), and I suppose some or even most of the music is the same, but there are some notable songs that have been replaced by more generic, elevator-type music. It's a rights issue, it seems. Link to comment
GoRunner March 30, 2014 Share March 30, 2014 Hey Marie Claudine, Scarlett45 Desert Flower, Shangrilala, and Carrier76!! Formerly Runner123 here. :) I said I just might change the name a little bit. Glad to see you all here, and hope we will all make a successful migration. Link to comment
Moo March 31, 2014 Share March 31, 2014 Hey. I used to dip into the 90210 thread on TWoP from time to time. I was good spellar on there. So sad about TWoP, but I'm glad this site seems to be catching a lot of the refugees. I'd be sad if I couldn't read people throwing the phrase Beret of Drug Addiction around. 2 Link to comment
MaiSoCalled April 1, 2014 Share April 1, 2014 Hi All! Another former member of TWOP. I wasn't an active poster on the 90210 board, but I popped in from time to time under the name MaileSkye. The 90210 board was always one of the best, and I'm excited to see it returning in a new home. Link to comment
Bastet April 1, 2014 Share April 1, 2014 I have also migrated here from the TWoP forum. As some of you who posted there may recall, I don't actually like this show. I don't even think it's awesomely bad, I think it's just bad. But I have an odd fondness for people's adoration of it, so enjoy following the discussion - and jumping in when it's from one of the few seasons I watched and remember. Nice to see so many familiar faces here, and new ones as well. Also, after so many years in a forum without a Meet Market, it will be nice to have the opportunity to get to know some of you beyond your enjoyable posts. Me, I'm a civil rights attorney in Los Angeles, and a crazy cat lady who sadly only has one cat now. 4 Link to comment
Lisin April 1, 2014 Share April 1, 2014 The Small Talk topic is for: Introductions Off-topic chatter Having virtual tea with forum buddies This is NOT a topic for actual show discussion. When you want to talk about the show:Figure out the nature of the topic you want to talk about Look for an existing topic that matches or fits If there is NOT an existing topic that fits, CREATE ONE! Examples of topics that populate show forums include (but by no means are limited to): Character topics Episode topics Season topics Spoiler topics Speculation topics In the Media topics Favourite X topics ...you get the idea Happy trails beyond Small Talk!

carrier76 April 1, 2014 Share April 1, 2014 The niner has GOT to land on some random cable network, no? I'm sure TBS could spare a couple of Big Bang Theory reruns. 1 Link to comment
Shangrilala April 2, 2014 Share April 2, 2014 Maybe the Hub? I know that's meant to be a childrens network, but don't they also put some teen/adult programming on in the evenings? I know they used to have The Wonder Years. 1 Link to comment
Rachael April 4, 2014 Share April 4, 2014 Hello everyone, I've come over here from TWOP as a longtime lurker whose looking to start participating in some of the 90210 discussion and snark. I only started watching the show in 2008 but I absolutely love it, there's nothing quite like it. I'm ashamed to admit that my new found obsession with BH90210 has resulted in my sister buying me a Brandon Walsh heart shaped cushion off etsy which I now sleep with... I'm 25 years old :/ 1 Link to comment
GoRunner April 4, 2014 Share April 4, 2014 Be not ashamed, Rachael, for you have found your people. Bastet: I too am a "crazy cat lady" Currently 3 indoor only cats own me, and there are from 1-3 neighborhood strays that I feed regularly. This winter was so cold, that there were days I'd do three or four feedings, just to keep whichever poor souls were out there fueled up. I tried offering garage shelter, but they are too skittish. I am a massage therapist by trade. Almost two years now. Went back to school in my mid-40's for it, and it's simply the BEST decision I have ever made. 1 Link to comment
Runningwild May 27, 2014 Share May 27, 2014 I took a quiz on Buzzpro to see which TV mom I am. I got Cindy Walsh. Link to comment
Maharincess June 15, 2014 Share June 15, 2014 I'm so happy to see familiar names. I lurked over at the "other board" for years. You guys don't know it but you got me through some really hard times. I'm hoping to join in more over here. I miss watching our show! I wish some network would pick it up and show it again. I keep checking Netflix hoping they've picked it up but no such luck. I'm more of a crazy dog and cat lady. I have a rescue Border Collie that came from a horrible abuse situation. I have an 18 year old chihuahua, she's my pound puppy, also abused. And I have my Kitties. I could never answer when somebody would ask if I'm a dog person or a cat person so I just say I'm bi. Link to comment
desertflower July 4, 2014 Share July 4, 2014 Happy 4th to all my Niner friends! Although I don't think the gang was ever shown celebrating Independence Day, they did light some sparklers in tribute to poor Scott in the time capsule episode. So as you celebrate today don't forget to raise a sparkler to Scott and remember, don't play with guns! 1 Link to comment
Jeebus Cripes July 5, 2014 Share July 5, 2014 Hey, hey, fellow Niners! I'm a TWoP refugee as well. Not sure what took me so long to seek this forum out. Oh, and I'm the crazy hamster/bunny lady. 2 Link to comment
Marie Claudine July 6, 2014 Share July 6, 2014 Just a quick question, you guys, to hear what you think: This board seems awfully quiet to me, and I know it's probably because Soapnet is off the air. But even for that, it seems very quiet, especially since I know there are a lot of people on here who wouldn't mind rehashing old episodes from their memory :-). It's also not because of the site, which is wonderful - it's easy to use and has a nice layout, a friendly structure and overall a great feel. So I was wondering if it might be the way this section is organized. We have many small threads, but I was wondering if in addition to those it might be worthwhile to include another, which could be like what over at TwoP they called "General Gabbery" - where just anything about the show can be discussed, even if it extends a certain episode (or, in this case, a topic or cluster of seasons). In my experince, that's what many posters did over on TwoP: write posts about a character development over the whole of the show, jump back in forth in time to make a point, etc. What do you think? Would that make sense or do you think that it would rather take away from the individual threads? Looking forward to your opinions! 2 Link to comment
Bastet July 6, 2014 Share July 6, 2014 (edited) posts about a character development over the whole of the show, jump back in forth in time to make a point Many forums have "All Episodes Talk" threads, but we basically already have that, just split into eras (the high school years, college, and beyond). (As a PS, I'm grateful to whoever had that idea, since I only watched during high school; it's easy for me to follow the discussion in which I can participate.) But an "All Episodes" thread would be good for posts like you described above. Edited July 6, 2014 by Bastet Link to comment
Jeebus Cripes July 7, 2014 Share July 7, 2014 Yeah, I can't see the harm in it, @Marie Claudine. Link to comment
desertflower July 8, 2014 Share July 8, 2014 Go for it, Marie Claudine. It might help. I do think it hurts that the show is not currently running anywhere. I could always think of things to post after watching an episode. 1 Link to comment
GoRunner July 10, 2014 Share July 10, 2014 I like that idea, Marie Claudine! I was over on the Sex and the City thread last night, and I noticed that they have started (in June) with a "rewatch" they decided on a day to start with S1E1 and then they watch and discuss every week, as you might with a new show. That could be an idea too. Amazon has free season 1 streaming for 90210. Link to comment
Chip July 10, 2014 Author Share July 10, 2014 There probably should be some differentiation between the threads just to make it accessible to the new users. If a thread is 100 pages long and about the entire series, they probably wouldn't dive in. 2 Link to comment
Marie Claudine July 14, 2014 Share July 14, 2014 @Chip, that's a good point - it's no good to seem too daunting to newbies and lurkers! I therefore wouldn't want to replace any other, more specific threads, of course - just add a general discussion one for those who wish to make more overarching remarks. But again, I don't insist - just thought it might help. Runner, I'd totally be up for a common rewatch, if people want it! That might definitely help. Anyway, thanks for weighing in, you guys!

I too think the quietness has to do with the show not airing on any station. I would be up for a netflix rewatch. Link to comment
GoRunner July 19, 2014 Share July 19, 2014 Season one is free with Amazon streaming. Alas, it is not on Hulu or Netflix right now. So for anyone who wants to play along with the rewatch, or even chime in when you're not rewatching because you remember each episode so well, we could pick a date to begin the rewatch, such as August 1. If we do it similarly to the folks doing the SatC rewatch, it will be one episode per week open for discussion. What say you? And please don't make me hold up my hand to quiet y'all... 1 Link to comment
Marie Claudine July 23, 2014 Share July 23, 2014 And please don't make me hold up my hand to quiet y'all... Heh. I'm in, Runner! 1 Link to comment
desertflower July 24, 2014 Share July 24, 2014 Do you have to have Amazon Prime to get it free? When I checked it was $1.99. (Which still isn't bad.) Just wondering if I'm looking in the right place. Link to comment
Lisin July 24, 2014 Share July 24, 2014 You have to have prime to stream anything for free on Amazon. But it's so worth it if you buy stuff from them a lot. Free shipping! Woo! 2 Link to comment
GHScorpiosRule July 24, 2014 Share July 24, 2014 Oh hey y'all! Stupid me didn't even think to look to see if there was a 90210 thread here. Or rather I should say, the BH, 90210. Also migrated from TWoP, where I was just ScorpiosRule. My moniker here should clarify which Scorpios rule, as I am Pisces. Let me tell you, it caused quite the confusion! And not everything is free if you're a Prime Member. Which sucks. 3 Link to comment
Jeebus Cripes August 14, 2014 Share August 14, 2014 (edited) Holy crap, I have no idea where to post this!!! TV Guide Network will be broadcasting BH, 90210 starting September 1! I was watching Big Brother After Dark, and I saw a caption saying there would be a marathon on Labor Day, and then the regular schedule would start the next day at 11/10am central (I think). I swear I am not hallucinating this, but I can find no information whatsoever on their website. Huzzah! Edited August 17, 2014 by Jeebus Cripes 4 Link to comment
desertflower August 14, 2014 Share August 14, 2014 Oh happy day! Thanks for the news, Jeebus. I could not find anything on their website either but I checked their fb page and found a couple of teasers, tucked in amongst all the Big Brother posts. The date wasn't listed. Yay!!! 1 Link to comment
Marie Claudine August 15, 2014 Share August 15, 2014 Guys, this is the best news surrounding TV in some time! Yay! Excellent! Their Facebook startpage says: "Beverly Hills 90210 is coming to TVGN! SHARE if you can hardly wait!" I can't share it because I am not on Facebook, and can't watch it because I live in the UK these days, but I am still unreasonably excited about this :-). I'll just come here to check out where you guys are at and I'll watch along with my DVDs and catch up with you here. Such good news, Jeebus! I've been missing my regular dose of Niner gossip. 1 Link to comment
Jeebus Cripes August 16, 2014 Share August 16, 2014 (edited) ^^^ Aw, bummer for not being able to catch it in the UK. I have more news about the marathon on Labor Day. It's Brenda/Dylan themed and starts and 9am/8c. Edited August 17, 2014 by Jeebus Cripes 2 Link to comment
natallica September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 I just found this forum. After the demise of TWoP I didn't know where everyone had gone. I was soooooooo excited about the TVGN news only to have my heart broken when I realized they are using the cheesy DVD music. It's just wrong! Do we have any hope of anyone showing the show with the original music or a proper DVD release? 1 Link to comment
smiley13 September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 I have been watching and haven't noticed a difference in the music. Link to comment
natallica September 1, 2014 Share September 1, 2014 It's the DVD music. Not the original broadcast music. For example, in "Higher Learning" when Brandon and Andrea are arguing in the courtyard of the school, it's supposed to be Depeche Mode's "Policy of Truth" playing -- not the crappy stand-in music. Not to mention all of the music playing inside the Peach Pit is different. I grew up on the show and the music is half of the fun for me. 1 Link to comment
GoRunner September 2, 2014 Share September 2, 2014 Exactly! I don't understand how Soapnet could use the original music, but TVGN can't?!? Link to comment
natallica September 2, 2014 Share September 2, 2014 It makes zero sense. It's such a disappointment. Makes me wonder if we'll ever have it shown with the real music on American TV again. Link to comment
Bastet September 2, 2014 Share September 2, 2014 I don't understand how Soapnet could use the original music, but TVGN can't?!? SoapNet was willing to pony up more money than TVGN. Given how much more time TVGN cuts from syndicated programming for commercials than average, that's pretty sad. But this is supposed to be the non-show thread, so I guess this should go in the General Discussion/All Episodes thread (if we have one) or a new Music thread. 2 Link to comment
Lisin September 2, 2014 Share September 2, 2014 Hey gang, a few posts were moved to their correct season topics. Please remember (as it says in the pinned post) This is NOT a topic for actual show discussion. When you want to talk about the show:Figure out the nature of the topic you want to talk about Look for an existing topic that matches or fits If there is NOT an existing topic that fits, CREATE ONE!
