Pay close attention, pets--this is serious stuff.
Kids crying? Forget 'em.
Bills piling up? Ignore 'em.
Legs hairy? Let 'em go.
This is 90's night-soaps, people--nothing could be more important. So buckle down and show me your priorities.
Tivo all your BevHi, of course. Don't have tivo? Get it. It will change your life. No, not your television-watching life, your LIFE life.
Step2
Every day (but sat and sun) SoapNet runs BevHi in order, two episodes a day.
Step3
Familiarize yourself with the characters. If you're coming to this brilliant drama for the first time now, rent season one on dvd. To watch the program without knowing the genesis, specifically Brenda Walsh, is tragic and unfair.
Step4
Fast forward through most (all) of Steve Sanders' plot lines--he's, like, 40 playing a 18 year old in ADDITION to being ugly.
Step5
Make fun of Andrea Zuckerman--also a senior citizen portraying a high school student--because she's so ridiculously dressed and heinous.
Step6
Fall in sort of embarrassed love with Brandon Walsh, but NOT with Dylan McKay. Mostly because Jason Priestley is, con incidentally the bad boy in real life, although he portrays the morally grounded, "good guy" in the show. Luke Perry, however, plays a perpetually drunk, infantile, emotionally crippled disaster, and is actually a total bore in real life. HE never crashed HIS racing car going 160 mph. Snooze.
Tips & Warnings
When watching Kelly Taylor--the blonde bimbette turned serious scholar--look for her flaring nostrils when she feels as though she's really "acting".
