ANDREA 90210 SERIES
Had a Spin-Off in Melrose Place (which itself had a less successful spin off in the short-lived Models Inc.) and Sequel Series simply titled 90210 which ran from 2008-2013 on The CW. The show began essentially as an American, more glamorized version of (the original eighties) Degrassi (of which it is rumored Aaron Spelling nearly adapted instead), adopting its format of tackling social issues an episode at a time during its first season (and to an extent the second season), but by Season 3 and especially after the cast graduated from high school, it became more of a Prime Time Soap. The action also included the twins' friends the brooding bad boy Dylan McKay, the goofy 'big man on campus' Steve Sanders, the bookworm and school paper editor Andrea Zuckerman, the Alpha Bitch turned Lovable Alpha Bitch Kelly Taylor, the ditz Donna Martin, and the dorky freshman turned aspiring musician David Silver. The show focused primarily on the Walsh family, particularly fraternal twins Brandon ( Jason Priestley) and Brenda Walsh ( Shannen Doherty), who had just moved into Beverly Hills and were (at least initially) suffering a certain degree of culture shock. It ran on Fox for ten years (from 1990 to 2000), and had all but changed its entire principal cast by the end of the show's run. Beverly Hills, 90210 was a Teen Drama that is credited with codifying the genre as we know it today and gained immense popularity during the early 1990s.
