Best Teen Dramas Ever .. Pt.2

Happy Friday All!
Here's Pt. 2 Of the Best Teen Dramas Ever !

4. Beverly Hills 90210- FOX- 1990-2000 - This show made the teen drama genre what it is today . It was considered and is the first teen drama on Television . At the time of its airing back in 1990, critics were spectical of the teen drama and the show itself .But the show became a huge International Hit , and Redefined the Fox Brand , which at the time needed a show to boost their reputation . This was the show . Everyone in the 90s watched this show. 90210 revolves around The Walsh Family , and their two teenagers , Brandon( Jason Priestly) , and the Infamous ( Shannen Doherty) , who because of these roles , would become superstars in Young Hollywood . By the end of Season 1 , it was a huge hit . The show decided to do something at the time , was not heard of . In The Summer of '91 , they premiered " Summer Shows" , Wow what a concept! But at the time , noone did it . So they started their season in July with 7 Straight Episodes! Pretty sweet , then they came back in Early September , and by Sept they were ahead of everyone in Episodes , but Christmas they were 15 Episodes into their season . Most shows by Christmas reach about 8 episodes , but 15 is unheard of . By May of '92, They finished their second season with a total of 28 episodes. Then , Season 3 started, the gang's senior year at West Bev. , Which is Prob . one of the best seasons of 90210. At this point , everyone on the show knew they were gonna stay at FOX for years to come , after a highly successful second year . The third season was so rememberable because the show was more dramatic than ever ,
and everyone loved it .

Dylan's Father Died , Donna (Tori Spelling) , got Drunk as Hell at the Prom , and Everyone was mad at Eachother . Now , we enter the college years , which for 90210 were their most succesful years of their 10 year run . This season , would be Shannen Doherty's last . To make a long story short , everyone hated her . She was always late, she didn't get along with anyone , especially Jennie Grath , They still refuse to work with eachother today . To be honest , most of the cast members , especially Jason Priestly and Tiffiani-Amber Thessian , still see eachother today . Yet , noone talks to Shannen . Poor Girl .

As Season 5 approached , Valerie Malone entered the cast , played by Tiffiani - Amber Thessian . She basically took on the bitchy role that Brenda left behind . Everyone on set was alot happier without Doherty . As the College Years Ended in Season 7 , The ratings were just as good as they were back in the earlier years . Now , grant it , at the end of Season 7 , its May 1997 , how much longer can this go on for?? Well, it went on until May 2000 so another 3 seasons . I love this show , but in some ways , I think they needed some work after Season 7 ended . At this point , new characters were coming in and out of the show , which made it confusing to follow , plus with Luke Perry gone , He left in Season 6 , but re-appreared in Season 9 , go figure , everyone was starting to leave and move on to other projects . Jason Priestly was ready to only Exec. Produce and Direct Episodes , which he was doing anyway , along with Brian Austin Green . Yet , I think at this point , Jason Priestly felt he was too old for the Brandon Walsh character .

By November of Season 8 , Priestly and Theissen both left one episode after another . It made sense , yet after that , the show went downhill . The Storylines seemed to drag to long than they should , the writing was awful , and the new characters sucked . Noah , was the only good one , played by Vincent Young , he was alot like Valerie , a troubled past , alocholic , that kind of crap . Yet , he somehow really never seemed to fit in with the rest of the cast . Then , Season 9 the WORST season of any show I've ever seen . And I like this show . But , At this point the Producers at 90210 knew that they're days at FOX were done , and they had a great run . Yet , they needed something to boost the ratings . So , they begged Luke Perry to come back , and there he was on the Thanksgiving Episode , arriving on The Walsh's doorstep , and Brandon doesn't even live there anymore . GO FIGURE . But , it's now Steve's house . Give me a Break .

The last season I won't even get into . Let's end it at this . Vanessa Marcil entered the cast in Season 9 , only because Aaron Spelling created the bitchy , Gina Kincaid character just for her . And she was brilliant, if only she came on the show sooner. In all , this show is by far FOX's most popular show of the 90's and when it premiered it really saved FOX . They were just starting off , and this was their first big drama hit . 90210, I've noticed this cast really truly cares for one another . Brian Austin Green still talks to most of the cast members . And Jennie Grath still talks to Tiffiani- Amber Thessian , they actually became real -life best friends , even though their characters hated eachother on the show . And Priestly and Tiffiani-Amber Thessian , have dinner together on a weekly basis at Casa De Walsh .

Favorite 90210 Episodes: Beach Blanket Brandon , Spring Dance , The Twins , The Trustee, and The Very Big Trip, Midlife , Now What? , Dead End , Radio Daze , Intervention , Buffalo Gals , Angels We Have Heard on High, You Say It's Your Birthday , and the Phantom Of CU .
