The son of a senior accountant in Beverly Hills thought that he was the poorest kid in school. He follows a girl home to find out that she is poorer than him. But it's actually a nice house on a nice street. Finer than any home that I have ever lived in at any time in my life. But this was the show of my teen years. People in their late twenties pretending to be teenager with everyday problems. And fantastic homes, great parties and many of them have really nice cars.

People buying $2mill homes in Los Angeles (which in this case, IRL, is not that far from Beverly Hills and is actually listed as far more than $2mill even though that valuation might not be accurate), aren’t buying them to be near public transportation. NYC would be a different story.

[@misstriciak]

Only people born in the 2000s are so focused on Gabrielle Carteris real age. We grew up on this show and Andrea was one of the most beloved characters of the HS years because she was so driven and focused in school. It went all downhill after they went to college but the HS years are still one of the best teen series ever.

[@fabriziomistretta5284]

In my opinion all seasons are great, except the last 2. I agree with you, the HS years are the best.

[@sweetsweet273]

Not all of us. I graduated HS in 94, so I was supposed to be 1 year younger than the gang; and me and my friends used to wonder how Andrea could be one of us. Andrea, Steve & Dylan looked way too old to play teens. It still didn't stop us from loving the show though, but the character we all loved and would relate to was Brenda, defo not Andrea. And not because she was the nerdy one - she just didn't pass the teen vibe test to us.

[@NatashaEstrada]

I remember it being a thing that was mentioned at the time but it wasn't so scandalous because teen characters were always played by full ass adults which is why I wanted to look grown up so much.

I'd argue that her character was the most underwritten on the show. The writers made her a saint, and never gave her personal faults to overcome.

[@amystadnik324]

I agree lots of actors are older than their age than the Characters they play😊

[@northernstudioworks]

The biggest story blunder between two characters that this show ever made was not making Brandon and Andrea come together romantically. They had the chemistry and they would have been the perfect couple on the series.

I know Brelly is the more loved ship for Brandon, (and I do like Brandon and Kelly), but I'll always believe Brandon and Andrea were each other's "one that got away".

Personally, I am impressed with the issues that were presented on "Beverly Hills, 90210." This particular scene has shown about the meaning of class in American society along economic lines with the character of "Andrea Zuckerman" worrying about whether she be accepted in a prestigious high school by other students and faculty there. At least this series had plenty of issues and meaning to explore in the 1990's. As a TV viewer, I really enjoyed learning from it.

Besides, I would rather vote for an alternative political party that can only have a balance of the issues that concern to the politicians of both Republican and Democratic parties. Furthermore, maybe you should elaborate on your comment anyway.
