Passions (1999)
Great show, but no TAM
I think that the show is great! It has everything that you could ever want in a soap- comedy, adventure, intrigue, and excitement. Though the highlight of the show- Taylor Anne Mountz as Kay is gone. She was amazing in the role. I truly miss her! Overall, the show is still great, but it would be awesome if Taylor Anne returned to the role that made her famous! I hope that she is doing well wherever she is, and wherever she ends up- I will be watching! I also will miss Liza Huber as Gwen. She has developed into one hell of an actress! TABITHA AND TIMMY ROCK!
Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990)
Seasons 1-4: The best; 5-8 Entertaining; 9-10 Horrible
I remember the first time I watched 90210. It was in early 1991, and I was in fifth grade. Brenda and Brandon were going to a party at Donna's and Steve spiked Brandon's drink which culminated into a shocking turn of events as good-guy Brandon was arrested for driving drunk. I tuned in every week after that, and it had become my favorite TV Show, next to the Simpsons.
I caught up on season 1 during the FOX re-runs in the summer and in syndication. Season 2 was great, but seasons 3 and 4 were absolutely the best 90210 ever was. The Kelly/Dylan/Brenda triangle was awesome! Brenda was a great character, and the show was not the same without Shannen Doherty, but the show was still good after she left. Val was a great addition to the cast. I enjoyed seasons 5-8. In my opinion, the May 1998 finale in which Kelly and Brandon were going to get married but called it off should have been the final episode, except they would have actually gotten married. I started college when season 9 began and decided to keep watching it. However after Brandon and Val left, there was no point. The show lost its luster. I occasionally tuned in to see what was going on, but I laughed at it because this was not the 90210 that had once been so great.
As much as I loved it once, it shouldn't have continued beyond season 8. I tuned in for the final episode, and I didn't even slightly enjoy it. It was poorly written. Yes, some former cast members came back, but none of the Walshes did. What I would have loved would be for all of the Walshes to come back and or everyone to reminisce about old times before Donna and David's wedding. And Brandon and Kelly would join them in a double wedding, and they would all live happily ever after. But you can't have everything. I will treasure seasons 1-8, and pretend that it didn't go on beyond that.
My favorite episode? It aired in January of 1993 when Kelly and Dylan were in the pool and he chose her, and they finally told Brenda the truth about the summer when they were together. Greatest moment of the show.
