Question
There is an argument going on at the soapnet message board about whether or not BevHills 90210 was ever aired on TBS or USA Network. Do you know? Please reply before someone kills someone over there at the message board. Thanks!
Hello Irene,
90210 was sold into syndication (reruns) in 1994 when the show started it's 5th season on Fox. I used to be able to watch the reruns on my local WB channel (soon changed to UPN in my area). Shortly after that, FX appeared to have acquired the exclusive syndication rights and aired the show until late 2004. From there, SoapNet acquired the exclusive rights to 90210 in syndication and began airing it in late January of 2004.
I don't know if when it aired on the WB/UPN in my area if it was an exclusive syndication deal for all the local WB/UPNs in each city or not, hence the reason that I say it appears that FX had an exclusive syndication deal. I just know that I could not find it airing on any other channels other than FX when it took over airing the show.
So short order of the channels I watched 90210 on and know it aired in syndication on: WB, UPN, FX, and SoapNet. I don't think it ever aired on TBS and USA, but don't know of any way to absolutely confirm it for you.
However, TBS and USA Network have aired several movies starring 90210 stars, that may be adding to the confusion.
Hope this helps,
Crystal

Expertise
I have seen all 10 seasons of 90210 and have every episode on tape to locate answers. My expertise is on the first 6 seasons and the characters Brenda and Dylan, but I will attempt to answer any question pertaining to the show. Please no scene/dialogue questions because they are very time-consuming and frustrating. However, I will be happy to clarify misunderstood dialogue due to whispering and such if I'm able to. I will attempt to answer any song question for the original airdates and syndication. NO DVD SONG QUESTIONS PLEASE. Please see my "Life Experience" in my profile for song question updates, it may pertain to your question.
Experience
I have every single episode on tape to find the answers. I watched and taped the show religiously. (All requests for copies of my videotapes/episodes will be declined.)
Update: The song used in "Crunch Time" during David's meth addiction is "Living In A Fantasy" by The Rainbow Band. Many thanks to the fellow 90210 Fan that contacted me with the info when they tracked it down.
Also, the song used in "One Wedding and a Funeral" that Dylan & Toni dance to is "Nobody Knows Me" by Lyle Lovett. Same song is used during the scene where Dylan is crying while holding the wedding dress and then kitten. David & Donna's wedding song is "Spend My Life With You" by Eric Benet & Tamia. Same song was Steve & Janet's wedding song.
Education/Credentials
