Question
Do you by any chance have a listing of all the music featured in the first two seasons or know where such a listing might be?

Thanks.

Answer
Hi Carlos,

Well ... whenever I need to verify a specific song, I consult an episode guide that's now no longer available online.  From my copy, I did some 'cut and pasting' so as to show you just the music for each broadcast.  As you can see, a few episodes have no music listed, which leads me to believe that the list could be incomplete.  If you need help with a specific song, just let me know.  

What follows is a listing of the ORIGINAL songs featured in S1 and S2.  I haven't a clue what they've been replaced with on the DVD releases, and have modified my profile to reflect this fact.

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.
