Question
QUESTION: Hello mel, I'd like to know the name of the song featured in the episode Radio Daze (4 season), in the scene when donna tells david that she doesn't want to be a nocturn dj anymore because she is tired, I want to know the name of that song, even david says the name of the song because he is preparing the song list for the radio show in that moment but I don't remember the name :p... sorry for my english
ANSWER: Hi Lathasia,
The song you're looking for is "Sleeping Satellite", by Tasmin Archer. This is the one in the episode's broadcast, not the one on the DVDs.
Thanks for the question!
All the best,
Mel

QUESTION: Hi mel, I want to know which was the salary per episode that the main cast won.. sorry for my english
Hi Lathasia,
According to a TV Guide article from 4/8/95, Jennie Garth (female lead at the time) earned $20-25,000 per episode, so that should be somewhat indicative of the rest of the cast towards the end of Season Five. I seem to recall that Shannen was paid a bit more (probably $30,000/episode), Tori a bit less. When Luke returned to the series in S9, he was reportedly the highest paid. Each year, particularly in the last half of the series, came with a salary increase, often used to persuade the actors to stay.
Thanks for the question!
All the best,
Mel

Can Dylan solve quadratic equations? What makes up a "mega-burger"? If an answer exists, I probably know it. Whether your question is general, begging the context of all 10 seasons, or completely inane, feel free to drop me a line either way. I will provide episode reference numbers for each response and plan to have some fun with this. Trivia quizzes often need correction, and publications will get their plotlines/characters/relationships mixed up too. I accept dialogue/scene requests, but please limit your inquiry to 1-2 per question. I only know music from the original broadcasts/reruns, not the DVDs. Been a fan since 1990 and didn't miss a beat.
Experience
Well, I began watching "Beverly Hills, 90210" at the tender age of 9 and a half, during its original run. By 11, I was a huge fan; 13, obsessed; 14, growing bitter. I don't like S6 - S10 as much as Seasons 1 - 5. But, technically, I still watch all of them in some way. Do this for 20 years and you'll remember the darndest things.

Education/Credentials
I'd like to say I've earned a "degree" on the life and times of the original eight, with specific concentration on Seasons 1 thru 5, any Jack McKay drama, Dylan/Kelly together or apart, and the guest stars of 1992-1994. Season 4, I think, was the best and strikingly different from any other. My only weakness might be later-season 'stand-in' characters like Matt and Noah, and the ever-changing ownerships of The AfterDark.
