Editorial Review:
One of the definitive, landmark shows of the 1990s, "90210" quickly became an important fixture on the FOX and in the popular discourse of adolescents and young adults. The third season’s main characters, Dylan, Kelly, Donna, Steve, David, Andrea and twins Brandon and Brenda all attended West Beverly Hills High School. Brandon and Brenda Walsh and their parents, transplants from Minneapolis were the stable nuclear family with strong values; their home was a safe haven for the whole gang and the center of much of the drama. The show dealt with a steady stream of love triangles and other romantic entanglements and occasionally touched on more serious issues as well.

Description of Beverly Hills, 90210 - The Third Season:
Things continue to plug along at a rapid and highly dramatic pace in season three for the privileged teens of Aaron Spelling's 90's TV classic Beverly Hills 90210. This season the gang tackles eating disorders, gambling addiction, birth, death, incest, infidelity, car accidents, racism, homelessness, and one whopper of a love triangle, along with, of course, the standard high school fare of college applications, SAT scores, and graduation anxiety. 90210 continues to revolve around Minnesota transplants Brandon (Jason Preistley) and Brenda Walsh (Shannon Doherty), though with every season the twins’ Midwestern roots seem to matter a little less. The summer before senior year begins with Brenda and boyfriend Dylan McKay (Luke Perry) still deeply in love, much to the chagrin of Brenda's disapproving parents. To force a little distance, they send Brenda to Paris for the summer with Donna (Tori Spelling), herself the subject of an enjoyable and incredibly absurd French modeling subplot—while halfway around the world Dylan and Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garth) discover a growing mutual attraction and begin an illicit summer fling. But it’s clear the love triangle between Dylan and best friends Brenda and Kelly remains the heart of the show. Taking a break from all the drama, there are some entertaining subplots this year, many of them involving surprising guest stars (before they were stars), including Peter Krause (Six Feet Under), David Arquette (Scream), and Dean Cain (Lois & Clark).

As in the first two seasons released on DVD, the lack of the original early 90's music is a major disappointment, but the entertainment value doesn't suffer for it. The highlight of the special features is the return of VH-1's Best Week Ever's John Aboud and Michael Colton. The two comedians' hilarious lampooning of season three in "Everything You Need to Know About Beverly Hills 90210 - Season Three" gently mocks some of the more outlandish dream sequences, Brenda's horrible french accent, and of course, the ridiculousness of many of these highly entertaining but entirely silly plot-lines. Beverly Hills 90210 - Season Three is addictive as ever and incredibly fun to watch - a time capsule, over-the-top soap opera and teen drama trailblazer all rolled into one. --Kira Canny

Beverly Hills, 90210 - The Third Season Reviews:
DO NOT USE THIS SUPPLIER!!!!
2009-10-19 - Horrible, horrible service. I ordered my item on 9/15 as a birth day gift and now it is 10/19 and no gift to show for. I sent an email through Amazon to Follies on 10/7 and here it is 10/19 no response. Do not... I repeat... DO NOT USE THIS SUPPLIER!!!! I am still trying to find out how it is legal for this company to be in existance. Better yet one must ask themself is this even a company that has the products that it advertises. I even tried to locate their website and to no surprise the do not have a website. I am surprised that Amazon would even allow this company to sell goods on their website. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!!!

The 3rd Season of Beverly Hills, 90210
2009-08-16 - By the time this season was shown first run on TV, I was working quite a bit and didn't get to watch it as often as I wanted to, so I'm getting caught up now. I'm about 1/3 of the way through, and I would say it was well worth the purchase.

Dylan, what is wrong with you?! Stop making out with Kelly!
2009-06-05 - The third season of "Beverly Hills, 90210" is full of delicious drama, but in my opinion, it also marks a negative turning point in the series with the Brenda/Kelly/Dylan love triangle (Brenda and Dylan forever!!!). Despite the Kelly factor, this season contains some fantastic episodes. Donna and Brenda spend a hilarious summer in Paris, while the rest of the gang chills at the Beverly Hills Beach Club, and Dylan and Kelly get a little too close for comfort back home. When senior year kicks off in the fall, there's major tension between Dylan and the two women in his life. Also, Steve gets into some serious trouble at school, Andrea worries about how she'll afford Ivy-League college tuition, David and Donna contemplate taking their relationship to the next level, and Kelly and David watch their parents' marriage fall apart. The best episodes this season revolve around Dylan's relationship with his father, which has major highs and lows until tragedy strikes. Overall, it's a great season, and I'm thrilled to own it on DVD.

2009-03-17 - fast service and in perfect condition. it was a birthday gift & it worked out wonderful

2 Stars for this DVD set. 5 Stars for the show itself. BUYER BEWARE!
2009-03-15 - Beverly Hills 90210 means something different to different people. For some it represents a big part of their childhood, for others it's not much more than a silly teenage drama and a guilty pleasure, and for still others it's a serious commentary and totally relevant to real life (lol).

For me it's mostly the first two and yeah, some of the issues are definitely things that touch many families while others are pretty ridiculous. Whatever...I love this show! Brandon's self-righteousness and expressive eyebrows, Brenda's drama and perpetual uncertainty over Dylan, Dylan's big hair and quivering voice, Donna's ditzyness, David's TERRIBLE singing and dancing, Steve's hotness and block-headed antics, Kelly's insecurity, Andrea's awkwardness--and yep, the famous love triangle...how can you not love it all even if you hate it?

After so many years of waiting for this to come to dvd a lot of people rushed out to buy it, unaware that their memories, er, well the show's content has been more or less raped by CBS Paramount.

A LOT of the music in the show has been changed (this pertains to seasons 1-3, since these are the only I have purchased so far I cannot speak to any of the other sets) and while that is a major distraction for fans who watched this during its original run so many years ago it is at the very least understandable due to licensing and rights to the music. It sucks but at least there is a reason.

What sucks AND seems inexcusable is the fact that the episodes are actually edited--meaning there are full scenes inexplicably cut from the original version that aired on Fox back in the early 90's. Why? If anyone can give me a valid reason for this, please leave a comment and do so! I am dying to know what possible reason there could be for certain episodes being chopped up. The reason I commented on season 3 and not 1 or 2 is because this issue seems to be the most noticeable here. And quite frankly it has been so long since I have seen a lot of these episodes there is probably a lot more missing that I just don't remember. And no, I am not imagining it--there is even a TINY comment on the back of the packaging that states "certain" episodes "may" be edited.

So, awesome show but CBS Paramount is really hosing the fans by selling a shoddy set of dvds to them without giving them proper warning that what they are spending their hard-earned money on is not exactly what was originally aired.

BEWARE--THIS IS NOT A FULLY INTACT VERSION OF THE SHOW YOU KNOW. =(

P.S. One bright spot in the dvd editions is the special feature entitled "Everything You Need To Know About Beverly Hills 90210" which have comedians John Aboud and Michael Colton more or less making fun of the entire season one highlight at a time. Absolutely hysterical fun. I can see why some fans may not like it because after all it is two guys getting paid to watch the season of the show then ripping on it in the end, but as much as I love the show I constantly make fun of it, so to see these guys point out things I also found stupid and poke fun at some of the lamer story lines and characters is great.
