Remember how I got Beverley Hills 901210 for Christmas? And then Mick bought me season 2 as a reward for not fagging away on the durries?
Well, I was watching disc 3 of season 2 tonight.
Its the first day back at school and David’s all cool because his Dad is now shagging Kelly’s Mom and Scott comes back from Oklahoma wearing a stetson and listening to “C and W”.
Oh, and Brenda dreamt that she turned up to school nekkid. Ploise. Like anyone actually ever had that dream.
Andrea sharpens about 16 pencils with an automatic pencil sharpener, the lazy whore.
That minx Emily Valentine makes her first appearance.
Brenda, Donna, Kelly and Emily plan to do a version of “Addicted to Love” dressed up as slutty sluts but instead they are going to sing “Addicted to Clothes” but then in light of it being West Beverly High they decide to do terrible version of ”Breaking up is hard to do” instead. Which really just confused me.
I digress…. what I really wanted to tell you about was….
RANDOM THOUGHTS I HAD WHILST WATCHING BEVVERS
- Emily is rather fugly. I thought this back then and I realise it again now with great fervour. She is also rather old and haggard looking, I know some of the cast were pushing the boundaries of reality by playing teenagers (Gabrielle Carteris I am looking at you) but Christine Elise who plays Emily looks like she needs a lie down, for about a week and maybe an IV drip.
- Emily’s regrowth is SHOCKING. Just really horrible.
- I find it very hard to believe the amount of men interested in Emily… Brandon, Dylan, Steve and even old David express their interest in her. What… the fuck.
- Just to make matters worse, if that really is her singing that song, she can’t sing.
- Dylan has a birdie chest.
- And he talks all strained like… like he’s trying to do a big poo.
- For someone that allegedly spent money on getting her nose fixed, Kelly has an odd nose, kind of bulbous on the end.
- You would think while she was there she would have done sumpy about her goldfish lips.
- Brenda actually has really nice skin.
- Mrs Walsh had a vague “job” in the 1st series, something to do with plants or landscaping.
- Anna went from being Mrs Walsh’s maid who spoke no English in the first few episodes to her “plant assistant” who spoke English with no accent.
- When you watch a few episodes in a row you notice that they use the same file shots over and over again. There’s always a guy with a flouro bumbag and a girl sitting on a wall.
- In the first series they actually concentrated on the Walsh parents a lot. Thank fuck they stop that in series two.
- Does anyone remember when Steve and OOOONNNDREA almost hooked up in season one? Yeah. I was kinda shocked too.
- Following on from that point, who remembers when the Walsh’s almost moved back to Minnesota in the first series and OOOONNNDREA offered Brandon the secks as a farewell gift and they were all hot and heavy for an episode and a half. That also shocked me.
Aaaah Bevvers.
Come to think of it. Does anyone really remember the first couple of seasons?
They were all a bit of a blur of bad hair and clothes and whiny Brenda.
Actually…not much changed really.
I had forgotten about that Emily character until just now. I think I thought she was cute when I was 15. Mind you, anything with boobs was cute when I was 15.
Of course she had nothing on Tiffani Amber Thiessen’s character, but I was still watching her in Saved by the Bell at 15.
Waaaay back when, i used to watch that show because i was in love with my next door neighbour and wanted an excuse to drop by on Thursday nights. But, i also was in love with the show.
I think it was all the lycra, I can see how it would attract young men.
OMG – I am aching to watch these dvds.
Melrose, it was fab, but I am craving those crazy kids in Beverley Hills. One day.
I was all about Sunset Beach.
*hums the theme song*
I always hoped that when I got to high school, my friends and I found a place as cool as The Peach Pit to hang out.
Emily was TERRIBLE. She totally looked like she’d been rode hard and put away wet – which might have been why the boys liked her.
