4.0 out of 5 stars Where's the Blu Ray?, August 10, 2009

This review is from: 90210: The Complete First Season (DVD)

I AM getting it but i do have a few comments

a) someone had said something that not all of the original music would be present. If this proves to be so,I had assumed that when they license a tune for the show DVD rights would go with it.

b) Why isn't this title on Blu Ray? I get the CW in HD and some of the best photography happens during this show -shots of parts of LA for example.

This review is from: 90210: The Complete First Season (DVD)

With the announcement that "90210', based on the popular hit 1990's drama series "Beverly Hills 90210' would be returning to television and feature stars from the past but also new stars for the present, the series definitely received a lot of hype and excitement. The series would be created by Darren Star ("Runaway", "Cashmere Mafia", "Beverly Hills90210', "Melrose Place" and "Sex and the City") and developed by Rob Thomas ("Dawson's Creek" and "Veronica Mars"), Jeff Judah ("Life as We Know It") and Gabe Sachs ("Freaks & Geeks", "Just Shoot Me" and "Undeclared") and began airing on the CW in 2008.

The series revolves around Harry Wilson moving his family from Kansas back to his home in Beverly Hills to live with his rich mother Tabitha and become principal of West Beverly Hills High School and his teenage children Annie and adopted son Dixon getting used to their new environment. Similar to the original series, there are a lot of twists and turns, but to best illustrate what the series is about is introducing the primary character of the series.

The Wilson Family

Harry Wilson (played by Rob Estes, "Women's Murder Club", "Providence" and "Suddenly Susan") - The father and husband. Also, the principal of West Beverly Hills High School. Used to be a wild person when he was younger and used to date Tracy Clark (the mother of Naomi) and both had a child which he never knew about.

Debbie Wilson (Lori Loughlin, "Full House", "In Case of Emergency" and "Summerland") - Loving mother and wife. A professional photographer who works at home and doesn't really get along with Harry's mother that well.

Annie Wilson (Shenae Grimes, "Degrassi: The Next Generation") - The daughter who is trying to fit in and high school. Enjoys the performing arts and dates the popular jock Ethan Ward who once was in long relationship with Naomi. A former friend of Annie and now rival.

Dixon Wilson (Tristan Wilds, "The Wire") - The adoptive son of the Wilson family. Athletic and because he is African-American and was raised by a Caucasian family, he often feels like an outsider but for the most part, his parents and family love him. He dates Annie's good friend Silver. Dixon works at the Peach Pit.

Tabitha Wilson (Jessica Walter, "Arrested Development", "Trapper, John, M.D.", "Play Misty For Me") - Mother of Harry and lives in a mansion in Beverly Hills. She loves to drink alcohol too much and often meddles into the parenting of Harry and Debbie, thus her relationship with her daughter-in-law is not the best. A former actress.

The Clark Family

Tracy Clark (Christina Moore, "Hawthorne", The Bad Girls Guide") - A rich wife who is currently in a bitter divorce and is the mother of Naomi. She used to date Harry when they were teenagers and were a big couple. With Harry back in town, she starts to have interest in him despite knowing he's married. She reveals to Harry that they have a child.

Naomi Clark (AnnaLynne McCord, "Nip/Tuck", "American Heiress") - The popular diva at West Beverly High School and dated the popular jock Ethan Ward. And is used to being treated special. Spoiled but also from a broken family which leads her to bad boys. She has a bitter rivalry with Annie.

The Taylor/Silver Family

Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garth, "Beverly Hills 90210', "What I Like About You") - The West Beverly Hills High School guidance counselor. Has a son with Dylan McKay and takes care of him and her sister Erin. With her recent split up with Dylan, she tries to have a relationship with teacher Ryan. And to further complicate things, her old high school friend Brenda Walsh is back. Kelly helps the teens at West Beverly Hills High School.

Erin Silver (Jessica Stroup, "Homecoming") - The anti-student who runs a blog at her high school making fun of the popular students (her former friends). Because of her mother's instability at home, she moves in with her older sister Kelly. She is Annie's best friend and dates her Annie's brother Dixon.

Other Main Characters

But he had a summer fling a long time ago with Annie Wilson and now that she's back, he ends up having a relationship with her. Despite his playboy ways, he gradually grows up as a person.

Adrianna Tate-Duncan (Jessica Lowndes, "The Haunting of Molley Hartley, "Greek") - The actress who's parents got into a bitter divorce and because her family doesn't make much money now, her mother pushes her to get acting or commercial roles to support them. The stress has forced her to become a drug addict and eventually pushing people away from her. Best friend of Naomi and eventually begins dating Navid.

Ryan Matthews (Ryan Eggold, "Dirt") - Ryan is a teacher at West Beverly High School. A teenager that everyone likes and is dating Kelly Taylor. Because he was messing around with an undercover officer (posing as a student at the high school), rumors ran rampant that he was having sexual relations with a student and damaged his reputation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Let the Critics Fool You, July 7, 2010

By 

Midan "Nerdy Kid" (Inkster, MI) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 90210: The Complete First Season (DVD)

I actually was late watching '90210' because I thought, "Hey, this seems like a stupid show." Having loved other tween shows such as 'Gossip Girl', 'Veronica Mars', and 'Glee', I figured I should give it a shot.

Let me say that I am GLAD that I discovered this series. Although it is highly campy, it matches the vitality of 'Gossip Girl' while still maintaining its own originality and flavor. The acting is so-so. I began watching this series because of one of my favorite actors Tristan Wilds ("The Wire", "Secret Life of Bees") stars in it, and he is actually one of the highlights of the show. He plays Dixon Wilson, an adopted African-American teen raised by a wealthy white family. His sister Annie Wilson, played by Shanae Grimes ("Degrassi"), is a lovable, yet indecisive teen trying to find solace in a new zip code alongside him.

The major plot of the series, to me, is acceptance: accepting what you have, accepting what you don't have, accepting what you want, and accepting what is to come. The location is brilliant because it spotlights on the lives of these kids and how great they have it when it comes to their financial stability. Here is a breakdown of the characters.

Annie Wilson - smart, lovable, fun.

Dixon Wilson - athletic, eager, romantic.

Naomi Clark - ruthless, indecisive, semi-romantic

Adrianna Tate-Duncan - starlet, abusive, overconfident

Ethan Ward - horny, caring, responsible

Navid Sharazi - active, geeky, heartfelt

Erin Silver - romantic, bipolar, gallant


More characters are on the show, including Rob Estes, Lori Loughlin, Jessica Walter, and Ryan Eggold, who play the adults on the series. They are a part of the main cast. There are guest and recurring roles of the original '90210' cast as well.

The show tackles major issues in today's society, including teen pregnancy, sexuality, drug and alcohol abuse, infidelity, rape, theft, and also murder.

Do not mistake this as one of those series that are idiotic and are genuinely lucky to still pull airtime, this is NOT ONE OF THOSE SERIES. The storylines are great, the characters are highly realistic (although rare), and the setting is prime. I hope this show stays on the air for at least another three seasons. It is highly entertaining.

The stars of this show, in my humble opinion, would be Tristan Wilds, Jessica Stroup, AnnaLynne McCord, and Jessic Lowndes. They have chemistry at what they do, and they leave us wanting more of them.

The extras are okay, nothing fancy. A few audio commentaries, behind-the-scenes footage on each disc. Best bet for this series is $25-$30, any more is ridiculous. Season Two will be released in August. This season includes all 24 episodes, both riveting and eclectic.

Do not miss out on one of television's hottest new series!
