You Can't Fit Three on a Love Seat

Sarah and I have this ritual of watching DVDs of the original 90210 (yay Netflix!!!) and we're currently watching Season 6, Disc 6 as I write this.  So far this season has included Dylan getting married and his wife being murdered the next day (by her own father who was hoping to kill Dylan), Kelly's coke habit, Susan & Brandon almost dying, Joe's botched football career, Donna's Rose Court appearance, David's mother attempting suicide, etc etc.

Now, Kelly's seemingly sweet roommate from rehab is going all Single White Female on her.  Also, Kelly is dating the med student who was on rotation in her rehab center.  Does that seem wrong to anyone else?  Also, why are they always at the goddamn Peach Pit and why does Nat cater ALL of their events?  Doesn't this dude have a life?  Why do they drink so much coffee?   How do they all fall in love and break up with each other while remaining friends?  Why is Valerie only nice to dudes?  There are so many unanswered questions the series never resolves.


We're getting a barrage of horrible early-90's fashion, painful cliches and life lessons in underage drinking, suicide, drug addiction, abortion, nymphomania, domestic violence, stalking, infidelity, friendship, nightclub ownership, mind games, gun control, how to key a car, blackmail, cheesy pickup lines, art (is for the people), parental relations, mafia hits and Tori Spelling being the most hideous creature alive (minus Claire) yet always having a boyfriend, all tied in a pretty little bow.

I was really upset when the WB came out with a remake of 90210 - completely pathetic and 95% worse than the original.  You can't top Dylan McKay no matter how hard you try.

AND WHY DO THEY ALWAYS WEAR BUSINESS SUITS FOR EVERY DAY LIFE??  THEY
ARE COLLEGE STUDENTS.  I USUALLY WALKED AROUND IN MY PAJAMAS!!! 

And can someone please explain why David is producing music videos for campus bands??  And they want Donna as the female in their music video?  And she looks hideous but everyone tells her how great she is?  And what is with the leather pants?

Kelly is finally kicking SWF out of her apartment and she's begging to stay.  Quote of the night from Sarah: "Get a fucking grip."

Correction. Quote of the night: (Sarah on Tori Spelling): "Does she have a Y chromosome?" 

We didn't start at season one; we started at season five.  But we're going to cry when we get to the end.  Although, at this rate it will be in 2020.

Life lessons from 90210: just don't be a stalker.
