AboutMel Expertise Can Dylan solve quadratic equations? What makes up a "mega-burger"? Believe me, 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. Note: I will not know the names of any replacement songs used on the DVDs or on YouTube, only those from the original broadcast episodes. Been a fan since 1990, the very beginning. Don't let show forums warp your brain.
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 the later seasons as much. But, technically, I still watch all of them in some way. Do this for 19-plus 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 real weakness might be later-season 'stand-in' characters like Matt and Noah, and the ever-changing ownerships of The AfterDark.

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,

QUESTION: Hi mel, I want to know which was the salary per episode that the main cast won.. sorry for my english
Answer 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.
