My friend, Shari, has blown my mind. Guess who else appeared in different episodes? Mr. Pony! In Season 2, Brenda’s favorite stuffed pony helps her cope with the trauma of being robbed at gunpoint at the Peach Pit. Didn’t she take him to London? Because he somehow shows up in a security office at a shopping center in Season 8. Mr. Pony, what gives?

PS - Shari attended the same college as Jay Thurman!

You know you’re a Beverly Hills, 90210 fan when “Addicted to Love” comes on the jukebox, and this is the first thought in your mind.

I’ve decided it’s time to cover Beverly Hills, 90210 guest stars. From the random, to the Oscar winners, to the truly bizarre, the show has featured more people than you probably remember. Luckily, I do remember. On that note, I’d like to start with one of my personal favorites, Kerri Strug. Fresh off the Atlanta Olympics, Kerri was registering for classes at CU when she encountered David Silver.

“What does it take to register for classes around here, a gold medal?” David wondered. Enter Kerri Strug. Someone obviously thought this was genius, and I completely agree. It’s totally 1996. If I could choose between a guest spot on 90210 and a gold medal, we all know which would win.

I guess Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox don’t use B-Sur. Or Condex, for that matter.

I’m going to a Bruce Springsteen concert tonight. Do you think he watched this Season 10 episode of Beverly Hills, 90210?

It’s 4:30 a.m. and I can’t sleep, so I decided it was time to watch Shannen Says on my DVR. Just minutes into the show, she told her fiancee, “If they can find people to replace me on 90210, they can find someone to replace you in the football game.”

Oh. My. God.

1. Shannen hates football, too? I knew we were soul sisters.

2. She’s EXACTLY right. And I’m going to remember this gem the next time someone tells me what “can’t” be done.

Now I’m going to look up who makes her flannel shirt and try to buy it online. If they can replace Brenda on 90210, I can indeed afford to add to my flannel shirt collection.

I don’t have a Blu-ray player, nor am I planning to purchase one at any time in the near future.

Him: Have you ever seen Bonnie and Clyde?

Me: Yes?

Oh, did you mean the 1967 movie? Not the 1991 Halloween costume?

This morning I realized there was a glaring omission in my Donna Martin Originals list. Interestingly, this is not from the episode in which Brandon and Steve have a discussion about girls wearing shirts that look like bras. Oh, Donna. I am in awe of your fashion prowess.

ramneetsthuglife asked: This is officially my favorite blog! All the other BH 90210 ones died down. Thank you for this!

Thanks! I’m not super consistent with posting, but I do love my 90210.

Apparently he forgot about the time Kelly posed as a Ukranian folk dancer.

I’m pretty sure that if Steve wasn’t working summers at the Beverly Hills Beach Club, neither was his younger brother. Before he became Ryan Sanders, brother of Steve, he was a camp counselor, supervised by Andrea Zuckerman. And before that, in his most compelling role, Randy Spelling is the real-life brother of Tori Spelling. Ryan Sanders also dropped out of Amherst, and dated Kelly’s half-sister, Joy. That’s a lot of sibling trivia from my favorite zip code!

Hey, Dylan, I know your little sister just got her period for the first time, but this is a female locker room. Get out. Karen Rosin returns again in Season 5, playing Kate, Dana’s new girlfriend. How do you go from the locker room to offering Kelly Valium? Write yourself into the show! It’s easy to do if you’re also a writer, which Karen Rosin is. Weird.

Remember when Kelly dressed like a sexy witch on Halloween and was almost raped by a guy dressed like a cowboy? Who could forget? Well, get ready for this - the cowboy wasn’t the only rapist at the party. The guy dressed like Robin Hood in Season 2 came back and raped Kelly in an alley in Season 9. Then he tried to attack her again in Now Wear This, so Kelly shot him. In between (Season 4, specifically), he was doing the shooting… In the form of a photo of Brandon, Claire and Lucinda, when the task force traveled to Washington, DC. Photographer, rapist, Robin Hood… The actor’s name is Cliff Dorfman, just in case you want to check out his other credits. And let’s all acknowledge poor Kelly Taylor’s ridiculous life. What hasn’t she overcome?

It was senior skip day in 1993. Rather than hitting up Six Flags Magic Mountain, Brandon, Dylan and Steve had a wacky adventure with a girl named Ginger. Or whatever her name was. Somehow, this resulted in Steve and Dylan appearing in a mouthwash commercial. Some might be so enamored with Burt Reynolds’ appearance later in the episode that they overlook the mouthwash commercial’s director. Isn’t that Emily Valentine’s nosy neighbor, Rosie? I think it is!
