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.

    • Frankly, I think it's dead in the water.
    • Oh, I think Benz would have been all wrong for Kendall.  Terrific actress, but not at all what I'd picture Erica's long-lost daughter to be.
    • In a way, Denise's inability to decide on which college to attend (before deciding to attend her family's alma mater and the college everyone knew she'd be attending anyway) was a clear signal that the poor girl was a flake and not "college material."  Denise Huxtable was someone who peaked in high school, lol. With guest stars Deborah Adair (ex-Jill, Y&R; ex-Tracy, DYNASTY; ex-Lucy, MP; ex-Kate, DAYS), Christopher Allport (ex-Tim McGowan, AW) and John de Lancie (ex-Eugene, DAYS)! "Frame" is one of those MSW's that you THINK is gonna be paint-by-numbers (no pun intended), and then it surprises you with one of those twist endings that often made episodes so enjoyable. I seriously wish they had gone for a Steven/Bart/Sammy Jo triangle instead, with Steven and Sammy Jo fighting over Bart, lol. And I still think Claudia burning to death at La Mirage was DYNASTY's dumbest cliffhanger. The perfect time to kill off Chase, IMO.  Alas.

    • Spoke with my contacts at Lifetime. As of now, there is nothing to share in terms of updates. 
    • Which is still a form of manipulation. Granted it won't work because Ted isn't interested in Leslie at all no matter how much she tries to make him look like a horrible person. When you consider the situation with Hayley it does make sense why Anita would take that approach.
    • Another good one and great episode to start off the week. Confrontations, character moments, movement, and an awful lot of bubbles on display. lol.    I've found myself liking Sara Bibel breakdowns. And this episode might be why. I sense movement of plot going on. And Jazmen being on script duty has already become a highlight for me. So this episode dealing with more fallout from the SilkPress/Eva reveal was another good one. And even got a solid B plot moving in the Vanessa/Doug/Joey storyline...which I just said yesterday...has been the only one of the B plots...that has real build to it so far.    You are not a real soap pariah until you get dragged and a community treats you as such. So basically another old school soap vibe that Eva is giving me. Watching her trying to find her footing only to be read by just about everyone she has encountered has been great. It makes her so rootable. And she's played by an excellent actress. Cuz that quivering lip at the end with her and Anita...ooooo some of you all seem heated for Anita making poor girl cry even though it's her fault. That's great acting. Not to mention writing.    I also love that the side character got their point of view. I loved Mona moving about town trying to get info to avenge Nicole in a way. And she dragged Eva. She read Silk Press Sheila. And that 'enjoy the burn' was well-said. And did I see a spark with Mona and Randy? Hmmm. I don't mind.

          I also didn't mind that Martin/Kat scene. I enjoy their sibling relationship so far. And I feel like the right thing to do to keep them close as they support their mother. It even made sense that Martin would soften to the idea of Eva as part of the family given their brief scene at the start of this storyline. Meanwhile, NO from Kat. lol. And she's already questioning the DNA test...OF COURSE SHE IS. But again...that avail...her and Eva being the SAME age. Twins. I just felt the writers are really foreshadowing that heavy. Meanwhile, the SilkPress saga is far from over.   I love the parade of Ted Visitors. LMAO!!! I thought Dani vs Ted was pretty good. But I about fell out when Anita walked up in there like old school Sonny Corinthos. And I hollered with Anita wiping the floor with Ted with Dani in the background like Jason Morgan. Watch your step, Theodore. Anita was giving Boss Bitca and I was living.    That said...I didn't like Anita making poor Eva cry. But as was said above...the stuff with Hayley is still too fresh on the Duprees' mind. So sadly understandable, Anita set down the law.    Uh oh. Dani saw Vanessa with Joey. Granted they are not the BFFs, but I do hope that that means we are getting a Dani/Vanessa scene. And I loved that we got another step in the B storyline. Doug fighting (and failing) in his addiction. Meanwhile, Vanessa resisted hers. And Joey did not look happy.    And saying the best for last. I LOVE Nicole vs Silk Press Sheila. Ooooo Nicole got under her skin good. And I loved it. I also hollered at Silk Press couldn't even be fake nice for 5 whole minutes to her. DD did soooooooo good. The body language. The looks. The inflections on just the right words. I LOOOVVVE that confrontation and looking forward to more since she clearly verbally cracked SilkPress's face. Meanwhile, I was just as taken aback at Ted showing up at Silk Press Sheila's place. I also thought it was another fantasy. Nope. And then SilkPress put the moves on him and went just a little more cray cray in the coda.    Just such a great episode.

    • Nope still in development. ABC/Disney are having their upfronts today though, so there's a very slight hope we might get an update.
