I know this sounds sad, especially coming from a 45 year old man, but this is the happiest television has ever made me. I could sit and watch these actors eat a chicken salad sandwich and receive as much joy. BH90120 takes me back to a time when North America was happy. Imagine a world where MTV played videos, no reality TV, and Wilson Phillips and Richard Marx rules the airwaves with their songs of encouragement, heartbreak, and love. God those were great times and at the front of the pack was Beverly Hills 90210. I was 16 in 1990 when I tuned in for the first time. I just knew the smokin' hot chick from "Our House" was in this show. Instantly I wanted to be Steve Sanders although I desired to have the chops like Brandon Walsh. I rock the sideburns to this very day and when my wife asked me to shave them off I told her I'm willing the show back on the air. Low and behold I did it! My family leaves the room at 7:58pm so I can have zero interruptions when the show begins. I wondered how they were gonna soon the new series and within the first two minutes I was hooked. Jennie Garth looks like she stepped out of a time machine that made her hotter than she was in the nineties. I don't want to give anything away but I love the drop-ins from cast members over the decade run of the show. I screamed like my daughter at a Jonas Bros. concert when I heard the first chords of "How Do You Talk To An Angel" the other night. Seriously, this makes me so happy. It takes me back to my bedroom I had as a teenager. I've needed this in my life. Jason, Ian, and Brian are awesome. I know they understand these characters are important to us like they are to them. I appreciate how they don't take themselves so seriously and make fun of their personal lives with little jabs here and there. What endears me to this show the most is how they've put aside any beef with each other in the past and have reunited for the fans. This is something many a rock band could learn a lesson from. Do you hear me Eddie? I am anxiously awaiting the final episode of the season and I hope this gets renewed for a second season. If you don't get goosebumps when you see the Peach Pit, you have no soul. And before you ask, yes I do have a license plate that reads "I8A 4RE". Christmas came early this year for me and every fan of this show. The next morning after the pilot I walked downstairs and asked Alexa to play "The Right Kind of Love" and "Love Is". My kids looked at me like I had three heads when I started dancing in the kitchen but I didn't care. I was happy. Truly, genuinely happy. Thank you FOX and all the cast from BH90210.
