Is this from a single episode?


Absolutely:

Season 2, Episode 18: A Walsh Family Christmas
Original Air Date—19 December 1991
Steve arrives in Albuquerque, New Mexico and tracks down his grandfather, Al Brown, a diner owner. Al explains that his daughter gave up Steve because she was very young and wanted him to have a good home. He sadly reveals that Karen Brown died in a car accident many years ago. Steve leaves flowers at her grave, and convinces an eccentric Santa-like charter pilot to fly him home for Christmas. Back in California, Cindy is depressed about her first Christmas in Beverly Hills. She invites the kids' friends and their families for Christmas Eve dinner, but everyone has other plans. Brandon visits Emily in a psychiatric hospital, where she is doing very well. Meanwhile, Brenda begins work at an upscale clothing store. A mysterious old man steals a Santa Claus suit from Nat at the Peach Pit, and later shows up at the boutique store where Brenda works. She feels bad when her brass boss throws out the cheerful old man. After work, Brenda stops the police from harassing the old derelict wearing the Santa suite and invites him over for dinner, much to the wariness of Jim and Cindy. Also, Dylan goes to see his father in prison, and talks with the same Santa. Elsewhere, Kelly's mother, Jackie, is furious when David's father, Mel, backs out of Christmas Eve plans because his estranged wife asked him to come over with David. Samantha, Kelly, Jackie, Andrea, David, Mel, Donna, Dylan, and Steve all show up at the Walsh house for dinner and caroling. The old man in the Santa suite gives everyone presents and describes his lonely life: his children are grown and his wife died a year earlier. He thanks Brenda for her kindness and generosity, then mysteriously disappears as footsteps are heard on the roof.

I have never seen even a single episode of this.


Burns...doesn't it.

My little sister used to serve her at a restaurant in L.A. all the time. She was a total c*nt, insisting on whispering her order to her boyfriend (Brian Austin Green of 90210 and Terminator TV Show) who would then translate to the waitstaff. He was super cool. Clubthumb? Not so much.

The Hills is a social norm if you're a tweener to young teen girl. Some college girl rejects still find it entertaining (to them I say "enjoy your child development degree"). For the most part people grow out of it. Remember Beverly Hills 90210?


Yeah 90210 is back on the air and just as intellectually stimulating as it was before.

The Hills is a social norm if you're a tweener to young teen girl. Some college girl rejects still find it entertaining (to them I say "enjoy your child development degree"). For the most part people grow out of it. Remember Beverly Hills 90210?

Agreed Budzos. It's like 90210 meets Star Trek. I found the film entertaining as an action flick, but am saddened by what they're doing with Star Trek. With the cheap move they pulled, they no longer need to adhere to the well established universe we've come to know and love. Assholes.

Nice post. I used to think this was so badass. The song reminds me of the 90210 theme song.

Natural progression of spinoffs:

The Muppets --> Muppet Babies
Scooby Doo --> A Pup Named Scooby-Doo
Tom and Jerry --> Tom and Jerry Kids
The Flintstones --> The Flintstone Kids
Beverly Hills, 90210 --> (teeny bopper) 90210
Superman --> Smallville
X-Men --> X-Men Evolution
Dumb and Dumber --> Dumb and Dumberer

My point? This is TOTALLY the Muppet Babies of the nerdgasm world.

This was used in the movie 21 and in the premier of the New Beverly Hills 90210. Good Song.

I thought he did recapture some of the magic with Starship Troopers. On first viewing it might seem like a shallow, 90210-in-space action movie. Watch it again with more attention and it's a wonderfully arch, grand guignol comment on how war makes fascists of us all. It was not quite Total Recall in terms of classic movie-making, but it was on the level of Robocop in terms of social comment contained within brainless, R-rated, sci-fi action.

Oh dude, he's totally from 90210, probably heading to film school.

And calling Jason Lee by his character's name in another movie is kind of another joke from the movie Mall Rats where one of the characters calls Shannon Doherty by the name of her character in Beverly Hills 90210 when he's confused.
