I know I’ve said this a few times, but I can’t tell you how much I’m thoroughly enjoying re-watching and recapping “Beverly Hills 90210” right now. It’s killing time, it’s taking my mind off what’s going on in the real world, it’s nostalgic, and it makes me see things this time around that maybe I didn’t see or realize the first 10 times I watched the college years.

When they were freshman in college, I was a freshman in college. And this was back when this show was producing 32 episodes a season, which is unheard of nowadays. So their “seasons” would start in September (when I started school) with the season finale (and that “school year”) airing in May, when I got out of school. So this was appointment viewing to say the least. How often will these recaps happen? Hard to answer but know you’ll get some every week. And when I post, it’ll be at least … Continue reading →
