Question
Hi Crystal...
There were continuous reports last year that 90210 was finally coming to DVD. 2005 came and went and still no DVDs. Supposedly there was an issue of Lions Gate selling the rights to Paramount...do you know anything about this and when they may be released? Looking at all of the random TV shows that have been already released on DVD, it's surprising they wouldn't be selling a successful show that ran for 10 years.
Thanks!
Hello Fran,
I haven't heard anything new about what the hold-up is on 90210 coming to DVD. I think the issue with Lions Gate is that they were more than willing to release more beyond just the pilot episode, however, their rights window to 90210 ended before they could release anything else.
The last thing I heard was around August 2005 (I think), and all it was then is that 90210 was one of the titles that Paramount would be releasing sometime in the future. I've seen many times that music clearance is the main problem. It appears 90210 got the rights for television use (including syndication), but failed to secure them for the home entertainment VHS/DVD use.
If you want to contact Spelling and Paramount expressing your interest in having 90210 released on DVD, you can at the below addresses:
Spelling Television, Inc.
5700 Wilshire Blvd.

Paramount Pictures

Attn: Home Entertainment
Thank you for your question,
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
Pertaining to BH90210: fan since original airing on Fox going back to 1991. Saw 1st season from reruns & syndication.
