90210 finally on DVD .... It's about time....
Finally after all of these years 90210 (and Melrose Place) are now on DVD. I was hooked on this show from the first time I saw The Green. I've just purchased the Region 4 copy in Australia and yes, I can confirm that the music is different (Melrose Place music is different too), which is a little disappointing but something I'll learn to live with. The original music helped tell the stories, (like Concrete Blonde's 'Joey' in 'One Man and A Baby' was probably used as the baby's name was Joey ... and why did they changed the music in 'Slumber Party' because "Mony, Mony" is being sung by the girls and is featured on the "Songs From The Peach Pit" soundtrack) but I guess the new music brings the show right into the 21st century. Unfortunately the Australian edition lacks the special features that the US edition has - which is not unusual for Australian release dvds - so I may end up with both versions... but all in all I'm so glad I have the show on dvd as the picture quality is so...

Product Description
One of the definitive, landmark shows of the 1990s, "90210" quickly became an important fixture on FOX and in the popular discourse of adolescents and young adults. The first season's main characters, Dylan, Kelly, Donna, Steve, David, Andrea and twins Brandon and Brenda all attended West Beverly Hills High School. Brandon and Brenda Walsh and their parents, transplants from Minneapolis were the stable nuclear family with strong values; their home was a safe haven for the whole gang and the center of much of the drama. The show dealt with a steady stream of love triangles and other romantic entanglements and occasionally touched on more serious issues as well. Top to learn more
Just as Fox's 21 Jump Street injected the cop drama with a dose of hip, Beverly Hills 90210 infused the primetime soap with youthful energy. Like Aaron Spelling's Dynasty, most characters don't lack for disposable income, except for middle-class twins Brandon
Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place creator Darren Star reflects on the first seasons of both shows in this Amazon-exclusive clip. High Bandwidth | Low Bandwidth |
Beverly Hills, 90210 ran for 10 years. Though it would move away from issue-oriented episodes in the seasons to come--in the first, it takes on shoplifting, cheating, and date rape--without it, there would be no O.C., no Veronica Mars, etc. Just like the 1980s films of John Hughes (The Breakfast Club), it set the standard to which all others must be compared. As nice as it is to have the show on DVD, it should be noted that not all musical selections made the cut, i.e. "Music has been changed for this home entertainment version." Otherwise, this guilty pleasure remains as pleasurable as ever. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Beverly Hills, 90210 - Finally on DVD
EDIT UPDATED:really sad to hear/find out about the changes to music.... i really hate when something is changed from it's original created intention so i am quite displeased by the news... but i guess it's better than not having it at all maybe... the music is/was a huge part of things.one thing that really was great concerning music was there were a number of key moments and r.e.m's "losing my religion" was played.. if i remember correctly first it was on a romantic date with brenda and dylan, then when \brenda and dylan broke up he sat and listened to the song in that spot in his car, then another time something bad happened the song was playing in the backround.... and finally when steve was really depressed once he put that song on the jukebox.it's just things like that in which music plays a big part in a television show or movie and to change it or mess around with it takes a piece away from it.i am really disappointed in this whole...
