People who know me would be pretty shocked to learn I'm much better well-versed on Seasons 4-8 of
Beverly Hills, 90210 than I am on Seasons 1-3, the high school years that most fans consider to be the Golden Age of the show.
"But Xmastime", you say in the voice of Craig “Ironhead” Heyward from those soap commercials
(RIP), “didn't you point out all the way back in 2008 that there were in fact not one but THREE Golden Ages of the show?"
Sigh. Yes I did, faithful readers,
YES I did:
I assume most true 90210philes claim their high school years to be the show's golden aged peak - maybe due more to nostalgia than actual watching - but here we are, sophomore year of college, and we seem to have entered A SECOND Golden Age: Steve's running rampant at the KEG House, Brandon is Presnit and Valerie just showed up. And, AMAZINGLY, in the single episode I'm watching right now, the Peach Pit After Dark AND the evil Ray Pruit have been introduced. Unbelievable. Are there other shows with more than one true "Golden Age"? Usually a show's wheelhouse is fairly easy to define - are there any shows as wildly popular as this one where an argument may be made for several different eras?
NOTE: and don't worry, this is all relative and of COURSE I would destroy any of you people in a Season 1-3 trivia quiz.
