Beverly Hills, 90210 was a prime time television drama series that
aired from October 4, 1990 to May 17, 2000 on FOX in the United
States, and subsequently on various networks around the world. It is
the first series in the Beverly Hills, 90210 franchise. The show
followed the lives of a group of teenagers living in the upscale, star-
studded community of Beverly Hills, California and attending the
fictitious West Beverly High School and, subsequently, the fictitious
California University after graduation. The show was created by Darren
Star and produced by Aaron Spelling and Spelling Television. The
"90210" in the title refers to the city's ZIP code.
The original premise of the show was based on the adjustment and
culture shock that twins Brandon (played by Jason Priestley) and
Brenda Walsh (played by Shannen Doherty) experienced when they and
their parents, Jim and Cindy moved from Minneapolis, Minnesota to
Beverly Hills. In addition to chronicling the friendships and romantic
relationships of a group of close-knit teenagers, the show also
addressed numerous topical issues including date rape, alcoholism,
domestic violence, gay rights, drug abuse, teenage suicide, AIDS,
teenage pregnancy, and abortion.
The series gained popularity during the summer of 1991, when FOX aired
a special "summer season" of the show while most other series were in
reruns. The series became one of FOX's top shows when it began its
next season that fall. Viewership increased dramatically and the cast
members, particularly Jason Priestley and Luke Perry, became teen
idols, while the series would make actresses Shannen Doherty, Jennie
Garth and Tori Spelling household names in the US. The show also had
many cast changes, though Garth, Spelling, Ian Ziering and Brian
Austin Green were regulars during its entire run.
