The wholesome Walsh Family leaves snowy Minneapolis to plant roots in sunny Los Angeles. They settle in its ritziest zip code where they discover rich people have problems too. But instead of deciding what to make for the bake sale and which after school clubs to join, they find themselves dealing with more serious issues like alcohol, drugs and pronouncing Ahhhhhhndrea's name correctly.
Twins Brandon and Brenda quickly make friends at West Beverly High and refuel at The Peach Pit in between the drama, which escalated as the gang repeated their junior year in the second season. A gun accident, a desperate Valentine and a hold up at The Peach Pit sure had Jim and Cindy Walsh searching for parental guidance speeches. Perhaps the biggest drama occurred when Kelly hooked up with Dylan while Brenda was in Paris for the summer, creating a major rift during senior year before everyone (what are the odds?) headed off to California University.
West Beverly High had some of the oldest looking teenagers I have ever seen. It debuted under the radar in a season full of teen shows. The producers made a smart move airing new episodes during the summer and 90210 went on to become a huge hit since every other station was preoccupied with The Gulf War. The show dealt with every teen issue possible before turning into a sudser. There are so many classic episodes like Kelly's drunk mom, the spring dance, batshit crazy Emily, Ahhhhndrea hits menopause. Well, maybe not the last one. While the show ran ten years, I checked out after Brenda said au revoir.

Why Shannen Doherty didn't win an Emmy for her faux French accent still haunts me to this day. That and having to act off of Dean Cain, aka Reek.
The Botanical Garden is tre beautiful. I highly recommend checking it out. This is also where the opening credits scene from Heathers (1989) was filmed.

A rally to end all rallies. Preceding Donna Martin Ovulates! And Donna Martin Marinates!
12/2/16 - If you're in the NYC area, be sure to check out this hilarious off-Broadway musical before it closes. The guy who plays Ahhhhhndrea steals the show...
8/11/19 - A good friend of mine was fortunate enough to attend the Peach Pit Pop Up just before the premiere of BH90210 and took some great photos! I would've torched a West Beverly High homecoming float in order to go. I hope the Pop Up comes to Atlanta next, which is in The Peach State after all...

Wow, you really went all of for a ton of locations, and not just a few of the main ones. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I was glad to see several were still around and still recognizable. I hope to visit more on future trips.
DeleteThanks for sharing, much fun to peruse!
ReplyDeleteWhat a well documented photo library you have created. I've always wanted to know where certain scenes were filmed at but you went ahead and offered quite a bit. Thanks for sharing this with other 90210 fans! Very cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks, J Wag! I was big fan of the early years. I hope to visit more locations in the future.
DeleteYeah this is all cool, were going to California this summer going to visit some of these sites. Very huge fan.have the collection
DeleteAwesome! Hope you get to see a bunch of locations.
DeleteAny plans to continue in 2018?
ReplyDeleteI hope so. I plan to be back in LA this October. I still have a long list of 90210 and Melrose Place locations to visit.
DeleteI love the show and i would love to see it all and meet all of them
ReplyDeletevery good work!!90210 best tv show!Nick from Greece!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nick!
DeleteThank you so much for putting this together, great job! I’m also a huge fan of the show and appreciate this site!
ReplyDeleteThank you! You are very welcome! I was hoping to visit more locations on my last trip to LA, but unfortunately didn't get to them. I still have a long list to tackle at some point.
DeleteWow great work at photographing these sites. I was curious if you had any references to go by when scouting these spots besides the shots from 90210. For example, were you able to get in touch with any location scouts/talent/ or staff that worked on these shows or get ahold of any production notes? Some of these spots you point out are so incredibly specific and obscure like the neighborhood where Andrea gets hit by the vehicle, it would be hard to believe that you just randomly drove around Los Angeles and accidentally came across the same spot. Other spots like that round building that was used as a hospital would seem a lot easier to identify.
ReplyDeleteThanks McSkillz! Several of the 90210 locations I've visited so far were already found. I've gone back and watched the first 3 seasons since then and located others paying attention to street signs, bars, restaurants, landmarks (something I do for each film/tv show/video). For 90210, I have not reached out to location/crew members, but I have for other films/tv shows.
DeleteI mapped out some of the most iconic locations in the link below (There’s some overlap with the locations listed above). It's an aggressive plan for 1 day but it's so worth it! Assuming there's not a football game or concert at the Rose Bowl, you can start at "Casa Walsh" in Altadena and end at the "Beverly Hills Beach Club" in Santa Monica. If you're lucky, you may even catch one of the beautiful sunsets So Cal is known for at the last stop at the beach in Santa Monica!
