Beverly Hills 90210 is one of the most beloved teen drama’s in television history. Fans of the Aaron Spelling produced drama have been waiting for the show to arrive on DVD for years. Finally, the shows first season is available on DVD.

Beverly Hills 90210 premiered on the Fox network in the fall of 1990. The show was a breakout success with teens all around the world and really was one of the first huge one hour hits for the network.

The season begins with parts 1 and 2 of the show’s pilot. It’s really neat seeing just how young all of the cast members look. In the early scenes of the pilot we are introduced to Brenda and Dylan Walsh. They have just moved to California after living in the Midwest, Minnesota to be exact. Brenda and Dylan roll up to school on their first day in their old car and are amazed at all of the luxury cars in the school parking lot and Brenda utters the classic line, “We’re going to need a bigger allowance.”

The majority of the major cast members are introduced in the pilot. Brenda quickly becomes friends with Kelly whom she meets in chemistry class. Brandon meets Steve in Spanish class, a class he shares with Andrea Zuckerman. He later meets her again when he goes attempts to join the school paper. David, who is a freshman, is scene hanging around campus with his young friend. They make plans to crash a no freshman party. We learn during part 1 of the pilot that Steve and Kelly used to be an item. Kelly’s nose job over the summer is also the talk of the town. David also finds out that Steve’s mother is a famous actress.

It’s the second episode of the season when show favorite Dylan McKay is introduced. He and Brandon hit it off and Brandon soon sees a side of the “bad boy of West Beverly High,” that most people don’t see.

Season one highlights include Brenda’s run in with the law after a friend shoplifts, Brenda’s budding relationship with Dylan, Brandon’s struggle with cheating, and the many adventures the Walsh twins face during their first year at West Beverly High.

The Beverly Hills 90210 DVD box set includes 21 season one episodes and the 2 part show pilot. The music has been changed for the DVD presentation of the show but the show’s theme song is in tact.
