The craze had really set in by the time the second season (best known as the season that ‘Scott accidentally killed himself with the loaded gun’) of Aaron Spelling’s super-sudsy “90210” went to air. You couldn’t walk down the street without seeing either Jason Priestley or Luke Perry’s mug on the front cover of a magazine; people were wearing bright pink (even some shameless guys) ‘90210’ T-Shirts; and Shannen Doherty had returned to work with some big boots – and in turn, a need to have her wage increased two-fold.

One thing hadn’t shown though: the cheesiness of it all. From the clothes to the hairstyles to the plot lines of the show itself, “90210” was the newly crowned king of Camembert.
At the same time, it also found a way to sneak some important issues into its weekly sandwich of soap. In Season 2, most of the issues were tied-in with screwed-up love interest (for Brandon) character, Emily Valentine.
Highlights – besides Brandon’s wild woman – for the season include Dylan and Brenda’s many hurdles, hiccups and hot encounters; David Silver’s best buddy unwillingly ending his own life; and the gang having to deal with someone being raped at a Halloween Party.
Enough melodrama to sink a ship, quite simply.
The quality of the episodes range from OK to pretty poor – probably partly the blame of a poor quality source transfer. Still, I’m betting they’re in better shape than some of your old VHS episodes of the series.
