The 90s have my heart and I started a re-watch of 90210 earlier this year.  I'm halfway through Season 1, but I realized some episodes from Season 2 are missing on Paramount Plus, where I'm watching it.  Anyone know of another streamer or website where I can find all episodes?  I read online that some episodes are missing because of some music licensing issues, which is so annoying.

@alwaysAMC I don't know of any other streaming sites but maybe DVDs are floating around for cheap somewhere online. Then again, with DVDs there's still the same issues of episodes being cut because of music or episodes having music replaced. Also DVDs might have cut syndication episodes vs. full original broadcast episodes.

I bought the boxset that includes the BH90210 spin off and it's not perfect but much better than the missing episodes on streaming. They licensed the most important music so there are no missing episodes and a lot of the special moments are still there. Of course it's not perfect, there is still a lot missing but not enough to ruin the re-watch.

This is great, thanks for sharing!  I may just do this - I see it's ~$150 on Amazon.  I may just bite the bullet and do it, as I can't imagine Paramount will ever get the rights to stream those missing episodes.  Good to know the DVDs have enough of everything that it won't ruin the rewatch.

I love how FOX promos always made "Party of Five" look more lighthearted and romantic than it really was.

Dear God in heaven!!!!

Please read the disclaimers on the box(es) before you spend a penny on the BH90210 DVD sets.

I had the entire series on home-recorded VHS, uncut and with all the music intact from the original primetime broadcasts. STOOPIDLY, I traded them away when the DVDs came out, because I wanted to upgrade the quality for future viewing.

BIIIIIIIIIG mistake!

To my horror, the episodes were badly butchered, with elevator musak and general junk replacing most of the original soundtrack. This was particularly egregious during an episode where the girls had a slumber party and were supposedly lip-syncing to some songs of the day. Unfortunately, with the songs being cut out, the entire scene looked idiotic.

I could go on and on about the defects of these DVDs, but suffice to say, they and the first releases of Little House on the Prairie discs from ImaVision were the THE most badly hacked up and poorly-produced boxsets I have ever encountered.

Eventually, Lions Gate re-released LHOTP in full-length, lovely transfers, but as far as I know, BH90210 never has been done over and fixed.

Oh no!! Haha, I appreciate your perspective here.  I think I may still do the DVD buy though, as I can handle some music changes. I just don't want there to be missing episodes or clips because that would annoy me more.  Right now Paramount Plus has full episodes missing, many from Season 2 and 3, even one of the season finale episodes

  I can handle music changes as long as the scenes/storylines are there.

Of course, I cannot make definitive evaluations about any potential BH90210 sets which are being sold today. Without my personally being aware of it, perhaps another manufacturer took over the DVD rights to the show and produced a different, superior product to the discs I bought. That happened with Little House and WKRP, two series that were first made available in highly butchered and edited versions. Their later re-releases received wide viewer acclaim for how superior they were.

I just have a feeling that if improved sets of BH90210 had been produced, I would have heard about it.

On the original LHOTP, some DVD episodes clocked in at 37 minutes. They were supposed to run for 47. And scenes were cut right in the middle of characters' dialogue! The opening and closing credits of many eps were cut out, and the film was sped up (God knows why), making Michael Landon sound like Mickey Mouse.

Good luck in your search for good copies. If I hear about anything, I'll let you know.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.

      This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).

      I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc

      Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.
