Five Memorable Moments from Beverly Hills, 90210

Much to the continued embarrassment and consternation of Mrs. Teebore, I am an unabashed fan of Beverly Hills, 90210, having grown up watching its ten season run and continuing to watch occasional episodes, thanks in large part to Soapnet reruns. In honor of 90210 Day (9/02/10) here are five of the most memorable moments from 90210.

90s-iest Cover Ever

Over at the ISB Chris Sims put out a request to find the most 90s cover ever. Here's my suggestion:


































The following 90s cliches can be observed on this cover:

1. Exceptionally large shoulder pads
2. Leather jackets obscuring traditional costumes to make them “cool.”
3. Seemingly-metallic clothing (boots, body suits)
4. A large, quasi-futuristic looking gun
5. Someone with a missing/cybernetic eye
6. Jaws clenched with rage and/or outrage
7. A mullet
8. A newly created, ill-tempered “edgy” character named by splicing two unrelated nouns together: Deathcry

Also, I'd like to point out this is an Avengers cover. I mean sure, when a WildC.A.Ts or Spawn cover is filled with 90s cliches, it's kind of expected. But this is the Avengers, arguably one of Marvel's oldest and most traditional super hero teams, decked out in full 90s regalia (to see what the 90s did to the Fantastic Four, inarguably one of Marvel's oldest and most traditional books, go here).
