Beverly Hills, 90210 ran for 10 seasons/293 episodes, from 1990-2000. The iconic series single-handedly defined and launched the whole teen drama genre that is still going strong today, and made a certain zip code known all around the globe.
As the series opens, twins Brandon (Jason Priestley) and Brenda Walsh (Shannen Doherty) have just moved from Minneapolis, Minnesota to Beverly Hills, California after their father is relocated for his work. It is going to be a bit of a culture shock for these Midwesterne teens in this new town where the sun is always shining and everyone is rich and beautiful. While Brandon was Mr. Popularity back at his old school, Brenda is looking forward to the chance reinvent herself, and actually be somebody, as they start their junior year at West Beverly High. Brenda quickly becomes friends with popular girl Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garth) and her quirky friend Donna Martin (Tori Spelling). Kelly recently broke up with her jock boyfriend Steve Sanders (Ian Ziering) after a year, and there’s some animosity between the two. Steve takes Brandon under his wing and the two become friends—something dorky freshman David Silver (Brian Austin Green) is trying desperately to do. He’s like a little puppy, constantly trying to impress Steve and get his approval—he just wants to be part of the popular crowd, and may just have the over-confidence and determination to make it happen. Meanwhile, Brandon joins the school paper, where he meets straight-laced over-achiever Andrea Zuckerman (Gabrielle Carteris), and there’s a bit of a personality clash between the two. Andrea is all about getting into her top college—even lying about where she lives in order to attend West Beverly High—and takes her job at the paper seriously. She challenges Brandon to do more newsworthy stories, knowing he can be more than just the sports reporter he was at his previous school. Rounding out the main characters is bad boy but sensitive loner Dylan McKay (Luke Perry).
The 68 discs of the Beverly Hills, 90210: The Ultimate Collection DVD release are split into three giant phasic cases, which line up with the three main phases of the series. For the first three seasons, 90210 follows the students at West Beverly High, mixing in issue storylines revolving around issues of sex, substance abuse, guns and more, along with the typical teen drama of love lives, parental issues, academics, and more. The second and third seasons also include summer seasons, with the gang working/hanging out at the Beverly Hills Beach Club.
As the series hit its fourth season, the actors were getting older and there was only so long the show’s creators could stretch out high school, so they made the brave decision to abandon what had been so successful thus far, and take the characters to their next stage in life…college. Fortunately, all of the characters (for the most part) ended up at the same school—California University (even David Silver, who started off the series two grade levels lower than the other characters). This also allowed the writers to explore even more mature themes and storylines, while still giving viewers the same character drama. These seasons also introduce the Peach Pit After Dark, expanding the diner into a night club where even more musical acts could be featured on the show. The college years introduced several new regular characters into the mix, including Clare Arnold (Kathleen Robertson), the daughter of the chancellor of California University; Jesse Vasquez (Mark Damon Espinoza), a law student who has a relationship with Andrea; Valerie Malone (Tiffani Thiessen), a manipulative old family friend who moves in with the Walshes; aspiring musician Ray Pruit (Jamie Walters); and Nat Bussichio (Joe E. Tata), owner of the Peach Pit, also became a part of the main cast. Some of the recurring characters during this era included Emily Valentine (Christine Elise), a women with a troubled past and borderline disorder; Lucinda Nicholson (Dina Meyer), a married PhD student who has an affair with Brandon; Susan Keats (Emma Caulfield), the editor of the school paper who butts heads with Brandon; Colin Robbins (Jason Wiles), an artist who has a relationship with Kelly; college radio station news anchor Tracy Gaylian (Jill Novick), who has a relationship with Brandon; and football quarterback Joe Bradley (Cameron Bancroft) who has a relationship with Donna.
With the show’s eighth season, the characters were now graduated from college and trying to enter the working world, which offers all kinds of brand new story opportunities. These final three seasons also brought in new regular cast members and characters, including single mother Carly Reynolds (Hilary Swank); Noah Hunter (Vincent Young), who comes from a wealthy oil family; Janet Sosna (Lindsay Price) an emotionally-guarded woman who strikes up a relationship with Steve; Matt Durning (Daniel Cosgrove), strait-laced lawyer who ends up moving into the Walsh home; and Gina Kincaid (Vanessa Marcil), a former Olympic-hopeful ice skater who may be Donna’s cousin. Some of the recurring characters include Emma Bennett (Angel Boris), a reporter hired by Brandon to work for the Beverly Beat; Sophie Burns (Laura Leighton), and aspiring actress whose relationships causes some strain between the guys;
Beverly Hills, 90210 is presented in its original full frame 4:3 format. The video is a bit of a mixed bag. This certainly is not a remastered video, and shows its age, with some episodes looking a lot cleaner than others. However, it certainly remains watchable throughout, and the picture quality never affected my enjoyment of the series. The audio track is also a very basic stereo, but provides clear dialogue and great-sounding music throughout. Speaking of the music, for the most part, the discs included in this set are just a re-packaging of the previous individual season releases. So if fans were hoping for some sort of remaster, or the return of the original broadcast music that had been missing from previous releases, unfortunately they are out of luck. All of that great music from the original broadcasts is still missing from this set as well. Unfortunately, the series was produced in the times when music rights for home video releases was not secured right from the start. If I look at a list of the original music, there are some great songs, but having only seen the series after-the-fact, on disc, it’s not something where I have any personal connection or memory of a song being tied to a particular scene. Though, for many fans this may be a disappointment, however, it’s unlikely that there will ever be a release that contains the original music.
While the original Beverly Hills, 90210 series can get very soapy and ridiculous at times, it also has some really strong dramatic moments, as well as some hilarious ones. The series is still extremely enjoyable, and holds up very well years later. All of the bonus material for this original series has been ported over from previous releases. There are a handful of audio commentaries, and hours of behind-the-scenes featurettes and interviews that were originally included with the DVD releases for seasons 1-4 & 10. There is also a bonus disc that was first included with the 2013 Complete Series DVD Yearbook 1990-2000 release, containing a behind-the-scenes special that aired following season 3, the 2003 reunion special, a look back at the series with creator Darren Star, and some promos for the series. This is the show that launched a genre, and is certainly worth picking up for fans of the show, who don’t already own it, even if the iconic original soundtrack is still missing.
The thing that is brand new to this Ultimate Collection release is the hilarious 6-episode 2019 mockumentary series BH90210, plus a gag reel for this follow-up. The series features most of the original cast playing heightened, over-the-top versions of themselves, along with other actors playing their spouses and/or children. The cast of 90210 have all gone their separate ways, but they are getting together in Vegas for a 30th anniversary reunion event. They all need this reunion for one reason or another—to get over a pending divorce, to improve their PR image, promote their latest project, reconnect with old flames, and so on. Tori, whose reality show has just been canceled, is in desperate need of a paycheck and comes up with the idea to reboot the original 90210 series. However, will she be able to get all of the others to sign on, especially the wild and unpredictable Shannen? Even if she manages to convince the network, will all the soapy drama happening in their own personal lives derail the project? This hilarious meta series had me constantly laughing out loud. The main cast includes Gabrielle Carteris, Shannen Doherty, Jennie Garth, Brian Austin Green, Jason Priestley, Tori Spelling, and Ian Ziering playing “themselves”. The series also includes appearances by Carol Potter, Christine Elise, Jamie Walters and Denise Richards playing versions of themselves. New characters include Zach (Ty Wood), an obsessed Beverly Hills, 90210 fan with a secret about Brian; Brian’s wife, successful singer Shay (La La Anthony) who often outshines him; Jason’s wife/publicist Camille (Vanessa Lachey); the reboot series’ writer Anna Blakemore (Natalie Sharp); Gabrielle’s husband of 30 years, Chris (David Cubitt); Jennie’s bodyguard Wyatt Jackson (Brendan Penny); and Jennie’s 17-year-old daughter/aspiring actor Kyler Norris (Karis Cameron).
I thoroughly enjoyed this follow-up series—it gets so ridiculous and over-the-top with some of the soapy turns of the storylines. The actors have a lot of fun playing these ridiculous versions of themselves. It’s like their own lives are storylines ripped from the iconic series they once starred in. There are so many fun callbacks to moments and characters from the show, with hilarious meta jokes and guest appearances. Any fan of the original series will want to check out this follow-up. It’s a shame we never got a second season, and that Luke Perry passed away before getting a chance to be a part of it. The series is spread across two discs and includes a fun gag reel. It is presented in its original widescreen format. While the series originally aired in HD on FOX, it still looks amazing on this SD DVD release, with a crisp, clean, detailed picture. The audio track provides clear dialogue and makes use of the surround channel to add some nice ambiance. I don’t believe this series is available on disc on its own, just as part of this Ultimate Collection, which is unfortunate for those who already own the seasons of the original series.
Beverly Hills, 90210: The Ultimate Collection comes packed in three giant plastic keepcases—one for Seasons 1-3 (the high school seasons), another for seasons 4-7 (the college seasons), and one for seasons 8-10 (the adult years) and the revival series. These are placed inside of an outer cardbaord box. The discs are stacked in overlapping piles on plastic trays. It can be a little difficult to maneuver and find the discs you are looking for, but this seems to be the standard packaging for the CBS complete series releases. The majority of the discs have a basic silver front, labeled with the season & disc number and list of episodes. However, the fourth season discs look far different from the rest, like they took some leftover discs from other releases and repurposed them for this set—discs 1-6,8 of season 4 feature full color artwork with a character’s face, while the remaining disc has a blank white label with a purple ring around the edge, and is labeled “The Complete Series DVD Yearbook 1990-2000, Season 4, Disc 7”. The bonus disc at the end of the set also sticks out—is a similar-looking white disc with gold ring around the edge, labeled “The Complete Series DVD Yearbook 1990-2000, Bonus Disc”.

Beverly Hills, 90210 is an iconic series that defined and launched the entire teen drama genre, and still holds up really well 30 years later. This new DVD collection is primarily a repackaging of the previous releases of the original series, with the added bonus of the 2019 BH90210 series. For new fans who don’t already own the show on DVD, this is a great release and a must own. However, it still does not contain the original broadcast music that has been left off all previous releases, so for the fans who already own the show on DVD, this would pretty much be the same discs. Hopefully, in the future, there will be a standalone release of the BH90210 series for those fans who already own the original series, so they don’t have to re-buy the other 10 seasons all over again, but right now this is the only way to get it on disc.
