Can You Guess This TV Theme? #22 - Answer

Who would have thought that twins Brenda and Brandon Walsh, played by Shannen Doherty and Jason Priestly, would have fit in so well when they moved from Minnesota to Beverly Hills, California.



With Dylan McKay, Steve Sanders, and David Silver, played by Luke Perry, Ian Ziering and Brian Austin Green respectively, and Kelly Taylor, Donna Martin and Andrea Zuckerman, played by Jennie Garth, Tori Spelling and Gabrielle Carteris respectively, the show was on the air for ten years.

Do you remember that time that Dylan got married to the daughter of the mob boss that was trying to kill Dylan's father..... And the mob boss wasn't comfortable with their marriage, and was going to kill Dylan..... So he put a hit out on Dylan, but the daughter of the mob boss was mistakenly shot and killed when she was driving Dylan's car with her head covered with the hood of a rain coat? I'm sorry, did I ruin it for you?


Did you know that the show's creator, Darren Starr, is from Potomac, Maryland. The show was originally titled 'Potomac 20854', but was changed later to a more recognizable Beverly Hills?

And that Kelly Taylor, Donna Martin, Steve Sanders and David Silver were the only series regulars through all ten seasons? Nat Bussichio, the owner of the Peach Pit played by Joe E. Tata, was also in every season, but wasn't considered a regular.

Ok, I could go on for hours about this show.... But I'll only give you one more. Dylan McKay, as noted before was played by Luke Perry, was first featured in the show's second episode. Luke Perry was only going to be in one or two episodes, and Fox was initially reluctant to have him included as a regular, but Aaron Spelling (the show's producer) felt differently and paid Perry's salary himself during the first two years, until the network was won over.

Anybody who wants to have a 'Beverly Hills, 90210' marathon.... Just let me know.... I'll make it happen.
