Here we go again... 
2008-08-28
Ok, I don't want to be negative about this show...or a traitor to my generation... I love Bev Hills 90210! I was a sophmore in high school when they were, at the shows start, and we were the same age and we grew up together. I watched (and taped) every episode for the whole 10 years... but those VHS tapes wear out, so imagine my joy when the DVD set came out... or not...
As I said, I have taped every episode, and I watch it now on Soapnet... and as you know like watching your favorite movie over and over, you can "talk along with the movie"... well I am that way with this show. I now know (but didn't until after having bought the first 2 seasons) that the box says in fine print on the back of the box that "MUSIC HAS BEEN CHANGED FOR THIS HOME ENTERTAINMENT VERSION. SOME EPISODES MAY BE EDITED FROM THEIR ORIGINAL NETWORK VERSIONS.", but come on!!! I noticed a wierd edit in another season episode and a spot here and there, not to mention in season one when all the girls have a slumber party and are signing along to "Mony Mony" but now the music is different... but The Senior Prom episode was seriously butchered! There were major parts gone... not to mention Cathy Dennis sang 2 songs at the prom and they cut the whole second song out, along with shots of her and most of the actors lines that were said during that song. I am very disappointed in this. The prom episode was a great one, not to mention a pivital part of the season. Part of the greatness of 90210 was the fact that they used new, up to date music for every episode.
Come on FOX... how cheap are you? We are all paying $40 or more for a set that probably costs $5 to make... You couldn't shell out some cash to keep this amazingly cool show intact in it's original condition??? And what are you going to do in future seasons??? There were tons of episodes later on in the Peach Pit After Dark where a famous music group plays there... are those hour long episodes going to be edited down to a half hour show?
So, before you start sending me hate email, let me say this:
My review comes to this = Yes, I love the show and Yes, I have and probably will buy every season on DVD. But Yes, I am disappointed in the editing. So to all of you die hard fans like me... be aware of this before you buy and watch it, so you aren't completly disappointed like I was when I first bought and watched them. Maybe they will get this figured out and stop their "editing" or "ruining" our favorite show!!!
***Ok, if you read alot of reviews... you may recognize I wrote this above exact review above for season 3. Well, my questions were answered. I am watching season 5 now, and the group Jade made an appearance. Yes, they did show them sing one song, but they cut out all of the other spots in the show where they appeared. Not to mention that the Ray Pruet character sang on the show quite a bit, but so far thru disc 6 I have not heard one note... one episode they cut almost 5 minutes of an episode just to avoid showing him singing. This is getting ridiculous... should we be boycotting? Maybe we all should just stop buying these DVD's and watch the reruns on soapnet until they quit messing up our show and put the full versions out for all of us hard core fans! Anybody with me on this?***
Beverly Hills 90210 - Fifth season 2008-08-25
The product was received very quickly in excellent condition. The product was described in a manner that made it easy to decide to buy it. There were no defects in the product and I gave it as a gift and my friend was thrilled with the product.
Great season...the show reinvented!

This season picks up where the last one left off while at the same time changes everything you knew about 90210 until now. Also, you can find everything you love about the O.C. in this season, down to the grizzled construction worker in a wife beater falling for the rich snob. So good.
Great, but where are the extras? 2008-08-13
I love Beverly Hills 90210 and I am enjoying the fact that all seasons are being regularly released, not far apart from each other.
But for the 5th season DVD pack there are no extras!!!! That is the only reason I am giving 4 stars out of 5. I really miss the funny season recap.
5th season is great. Finally without Brenda, but with a new character Valerie, oh how much I hate her!!! She is the perfect B***!

Beverly Hills, 90210 2008-08-02
Dylan McKay is the best character, especially in this season of Beverly Hills, 90210. This season features Dylan's relationships with Kelly and Valerie, Donna and Ray's romance, Clare coming into the gang, who will hook up with Steve next season and more storylines. Dylan's storylines are the most real and I could relate to the experiences with him. My boyfriend did drugs like Dylan did, so his storyline touched me the most. It was something that meant a lot to me because I could relate to that storyline. My boyfriend gets high like Dylan does and I really liked that they had that storyline in, it really was great to watch something to relate to and connect with him through that. Good season.

Halfway Finished on DVD! 2008-07-22
Beverly Hills 90210 was the first soap drama I have ever watched on DVD. With The 5th Season released on DVD, Beverly Hills 90210 only has 5 seasons left to release on DVD. I think CBS/Paramount is doing a great job releasing the show on DVD, dispite the music changes. I hope Season 6 gets released soon, maybe for the Holidays of 2008. Please release the other half of the 10 year run, in the near future!
Best Season by Far! Valerie was our saviour! 2008-07-10
Brenda Shmenda... she was irrelevent in Season 4. A total bore... to be honest with you Season 3 and 4 werent very amazing. They were really slipping. A lot of important things happened however it was filled with a lot of unimportant hours. The whole relationship of Kelly and Dylan was so over hyped. All they did was argue and there were like 1 or 2 times they were actually happy. Im not even sure they went through one episode without fighting.
When Season 5 came along and get Brenda the hell out of there they finally got serious. The stories were so much more adult and the acting was incredible!
Brandon was top notch!
Nobody can top Dylans amazing performance as a herion addict and drunk!
Kelly was even going through a lot and did it well.
Donna was likeable!
CLAIR CLAIR CLAIR! OMG she's a real regular now! The show just got 2wice as good as it woulda been with just Val!
Andrea... boring
Jessie boring... thank God they left this season...
David was really cool in this Season!
Just great stuff! If youre gonna get any season get this one!
No more Brenda Walsh! 2008-05-25
Season 5 is great, especially since Doherty left the show. I think the character, Valerie Malone was a great addition to the show, although Jennie Garth as Kelly Taylor has always been my favorite. I think the seasons only get better after this point with Brenda Walsh out of the picture(what an annoying character.)It's sad when Andrea leaves, but at least Kelly stuck around until the end! Great season, great show, great addition to anyone's DVD collection. Can't wait for the rest of the seasons to come out.
