Throughout the 1990s, one of the most talked about shows among teenagers was "Beverly Hills, 90210." The successful teen drama ran for 10 seasons, from 1990 to 2000. Although it aired during the '90s, many of the topics the characters faced over the course of 10 seasons still remain true to teenagers today.

Premiering on October 4, 1990, "90210" followed the lives of twins Brandon and Brenda Walsh, who recently moved to Beverly Hills from Minneapolis. The pilot episode shows Brandon and Brenda (played by Jason Priestley and Shannen Doherty) begin their first day of school at West Beverly Hills High School, and meeting all the different types of people who attend school in one of the most popular cities in America. Admittedly, the very beginning of the series shows many characters as common stereotypes, but as the first season progresses, each of the characters reveal more depth.

In the first season alone, the characters deal with many problems that was risky to do on television at the time or had not been done at all, especially with teenage characters. Drugs, underage drinking, date rape, cancer, AIDS and racism are just some of the problems the students at West Beverly deal with in the debut season of the series. As the seasons go on, the characters face many other challenges while trying to figure out their lives. The series follows the main cast and new characters who join along the way throughout high school, college and trying to make a life for themselves.

Throughout the duration of the series, there have been members of the main cast and many guest stars who went on to be major stars today. From the main cast, many people may recognize Luke Perry, who played bad boy Dylan McKay. Perry recently became well-known among teenagers once again for his role as Fred Andrews on The CW's "Riverdale", before he sadly passed away in March 2019. Some other notable members of the cast are Shannen Doherty, Tori Spelling and Ian Ziering, among many others.

Some guest stars on the show who later became famous on other projects include Matthew Perry, Aaron Paul, Ashley Tisdale, Seth Green and more.

Although "Beverly Hills, 90210" was popular when many parents of teenagers today were teens themselves or young adults, the show remains timeless and set a strong example for many popular television shows today. If you watch one to 10 episodes or one to 10 seasons, it's interesting to take a look at a show that still connects with teenagers today, almost 30 years after it originally premiered.
