It's been 30 years since the iconic teen soap premiered—and 20 years since it aired its final episode.
aired on Fox in the fall of 1990, the first George Bush was president. The Gulf War had not yet been waged. And a set of fictional twins named Brenda and Brandon Walsh moved to California from Minnesota, igniting a widespread frenzy across the U.S. and a local one inside my childhood bedroom.
Nobody seemed to mind too much: The series ran for 10 seasons, most of them iconic and very, very long—around 32 episodes each. But unlike today’s hot shows that willingly opt to end on a high note,chose to overstay its welcome by four pitiful seasons. But when the going was good—from seasons one through six—it was really good.
As preachy—and as heavy-handed in its attempts to make America fall head over heels in love with Luke Perry’s brooding, bootleg James Dean bad boy Dylan McKay —as it is, season one did have some stellar moments, like a clueless 15-year-old Brenda ordering a banana daiquiri in a nightclub she snuck into; Amanda Pacer, the gloriously bitchy high school senior who ruins the younger girls’ slumber party because she’s addicted to diet pills that “murder your personality”; and some smart meta-satire...
Season five also brings us a trip to Punta Brava, Mexico, where a sobered-up Dylan takes Val to recover his stolen fortune, and the canonical arc of Kelly getting burned in a fire then joining The New Evolution, a cult started by a charismatic professor. She eventually gets saved by Brandon and Dylan—her two great loves—but dumps them both in her infamous “I choose me” speech. Season five loses points, though, for the gay panic written into its otherwise entertaining Palm Springs finale.
