Poor Kell-Me...

 

 

That's Aaron Spelling for you! Dynasty, Melrose Place and countless of his other shows had this "problem". We'd just call him Mike.

"Kell-Me"  I do like that selfish little bitch though 

 

I recall this happening at Melrose but certainly not with the regularity it occurs on BH! In fact, their production values are damn near neglectful at times. Dylan was supposed to be urinating in the forest but you could very clearly see his pants were zipped and he was pretending to be holding his d!ck! I mean, why would you allow that to air?!

Very pleasantly surprised by "Song for my Mother", the Season 5 episode that pretty much follows David and Donna to Portland and has no appearance by Brandon, Kelly, Steve, Andrea, Jesse, or the older adults. Brian Austin Green's been looking 5 years younger forever but, damn, all of a sudden he grew into his looks. He also did the best work he's ever done with looking for his mother and finding out she is bipolar. The whole thing was done pretty well for BH. Then, you have Dylan looking into past lives and I'm not sure about that!

Thank God Kelly became a coke fiend!

 

Season 6 is pretty good, despite the loss of Charles Rosin. The first half is certainly propelled forward by the storylines he left in place and the great Toni story but once those stories wrapped up, things started flatlining a little bit. Thankfully, Kelly decided to "deviate her septum" and things are heating up. 

 

And I've got to give Jennie Garth props. I used to be a little hard on her but she's doing wonderful work as an addict. It just feels real.

Reading back this thread, I see that I've been trying to rewatch this show since 2013! I didn't rewatch then because the DVDs have new music. I eventually gave up on that and started watching a couple years back on Hulu, until I noticed them talking about Scott's death and I realized each season is missing several episodes. I recently got a Bluray player and I saw the entire series (plus the recent reboot with the OGs) for $70 on Amazon so I decided to buy it. I'm almost finished with season two and am so glad I decided to watch it again.

The first season is absolutely garbage. The only thing they got right was the ensemble. Season two you can tell the show is finding it's groove. It's more serialized and while there are some self-contained clunkers, they do a lot to develop the group. I loved Mel and Jackie getting together, which helped bond David into the group and bring him closer to Donna through the connection with Kelly. I enjoyed the interlude with Brandon and Emily Valentine, although I do think that story would've been stronger had they developed Brandon's feelings for Andrea and factored her in more. She felt the most under-utilized this season, with Steve coming in second.

I'm excited to reach season three, which is when I remember really falling in love with the show. And of course those later seasons which I haven't seen since they originally aired.

Originally I started watching in season 9 so the later Kelly is the first one I met lol. I've seen the first 5 seasons multiple times, but could never sit through 6 so I never finished it again. This time I plan on finishing it.

 

BTW, something interesting I noticed on the DVD is that all the music has been changed, but the Color Me Badd episode had the original music. That gives me hope they'll keep the music in when super important, like the graduation.

For me the only song that matters on 90210 is the summer season episodes with Kelly and Dylan where they plastered both the episode and the promos for that storyline wall to wall with Sophie B. Hawkins' "Damn (I Wish I Was Your Lover)". I never forgot that.

Season three is as impressive as I remember. For a teen show, this has such impressive writing and I see why it's so difficult to recreate the type of magic they had here. I miss the longer scenes shows used to have. There is so much character development we've lost in an effort to speed through things. This Brenda/Dylan/Kelly triangle today would likely just be another triangle, but the fact that it takes Brenda 13 episodes to find out made it so much more impactful. I also love that they had the complication of Brends flirting with Rick in Paris and the lack of sex between Dylan and Kelly. They spent the season really building the Brenda/Dylan and Brenda/Kelly dynamics so by the time it hit, it exploded.

Another relationship I love that I feel is overlooked is David and Kelly. Making them siblings was a clever way of maturing David and integrating him into the group in a real way as his relationship with Donna developed. The weakest part of the season for me continues to be Brandon, Andrea and Steve. The ironic thing is that Andrea has good chemistry with both guys that is completely ignored. Brandon/Andrea was teased at the start of the season, but they instead put him with a string of forgettable romances while she mostly sat on the backburner or in Blaze related plots. Steve is just kinda there.

    • I skipped most of Daniel too. I think it's awful he has kids with Nicole, Csrky5 and Chloe and Brady, Bo and Philip do not.

    • Today was very focused on Bo and his illness.  I’m liking how everything is ultimately tied together, even though everybody doesn’t know it yet. The EJ connection seems a little sudden and random though. I’m guessing that that was not on Ron’s agenda. And I’m not really sure why any of these rich people couldn’t help the hospital months ago lol  But I really like how the whole sepsis drug thing is being written a lot more realistically than what we’ve grown accustomed to with Dr. Rolf and all of his wonder drugs. They’re definitely putting more of an effort into this storyline. It feels more real.  Philip was a little whiny and self-pitying today, but I also feel like the writing has improved for him as well. He’s coming off less like a villain and more like a tragic hero. I enjoyed his scene with Stephanie and hopefully it means that at some point, we’ll get a revival of Philip/ Stephanie/Alex. Tying it to Stephanie’s novel could be really good. And, the dorkiness of Xander and Sarah was really sweet too. I’m looking forward to their weekend together and what secrets may or may not come out lol 
    • "And I also want to flirt with every woman that comes my way... but then beat up anyone who talks to my wife. BECAUSE I'M A MAAAAAAAAAAAN." Give me a break with your ugly baby paintings... You're in the same category of the hacks that sell paintings with a single dot for thousands or even millions of dollars.

    • I have to check out his Bela Garody on Search for tomorrow. He was one of the main reasons EON worked for me when I was watching. Truly unforgettable presence. Handsome in the most perverse and sinister way. They don't make faces like that anymore. 
    • My favorite moment in SOAPDISH is the HW taking the star to the mall in NJ to improve "morale"!! 
    • Oh no! The shoulder pads! I will mourn them when they're gone. Please tell me the head pieces and hats remained!?
    • Shout! TV has now added season 26. Not sure what the reasoning for that was, but maybe it was the one that was ready to go... 
    • It's AWFULLY hard to tell.  But out of the (approximately) 16 weeks so far in 2025, Bryton has only had about 12 episodes.  That's significantly less than 1 per week.  Once the actor drops down to less than 1 per week for an extended period of time (such as a 39-week cycle), I start thinking there's no contract in place for him or her.  Surely these folks aren't tying themselves down to a show for a guarantee of 1 or 2 episodes a month.   If I counted right, Bryton has had 21 episodes in the past 24 weeks.  They're either (a) about to kick into high-gear & work his ass off to meet his minimum guaranteed appearances, or else (b) he ain't got a contract that guarantees him squat.
