This week’s episode is Season 1, Episode 20: April is the Cruelest Month aka the Friends Crossover. This episode starts with Matthew Perry, on the West Beverly tennis courts, practicing some returns….or volleys….or swings….I don’t know what it’s called, but there’s a machine chucking tennis balls at him, and he’s hitting them back while some …

Season 1, Episode 19: It’s Only a Test What is going on at this school. The opening scene is cuts from various students at West Beverly, one of whom is wearing a 3 piece suit and talking on a cell phone, which was very rare in 1992, and another with a girl reading the Wall …

The episode starts with Brandon walking down the hall, staring back at girls who pass by him, real enlightened man stuff, until Andrea hunts him down. She tells him she has a proposition for him, and he replies, “Your desk or mine?” We all know that he is kidding, but deep down we also know …

This week’s episode starts at a park, where children are playing on park equipment, and then we see some nerd roller blading with knee pads on. The camera pans up, and we realize it’s Brandon, roller blading while holding a hockey stick. So many things to start off with: Why is Brandon so in love …

This episode starts with Brandon riding his bicycle through the mean streets of Beverly Hills, while some very questionable music plays. He’s wearing his backpack, so I’m assuming he is coming home from school. Did he forget that he has a car, or do that only remember that he got a DUI when it’s convenient? …
This week, we watched Season 1, Episode 14: Slumber Party. The episode starts in the Walsh kitchen, where Brandon, in a silky vest questions Brenda about her plans for the evening. Brenda says she is hosting a night of “female empowerment,” while Brandon and Jim call it a slumber party. I see the writers thought …
This week’s episode is Episode 11: BYOB. If you are unaware, BYOB stands for bring your own booze. I like to put it at the bottom of all of my invitations. Then I don’t have to pay for everyone else’s alcohol, and I can skim some off of all of my guests. The episode starts with everyone filing into …
This weeks episode, number 11 is “Isn’t it Romantic,” our next Dylan centric one. Swoon. I will also say this is one of my favorite episodes of the series. As much as I wanted Dylan and Kelly together in the end, I appreciated the chemistry between Luke and Shannen. This episode starts with Brenda, walking …
This week, we are watching season one, episode 10: The Gentle Art of Listening. Trigger Warning: This post will talk about dramatized versions of rape. Please be warned. This episode begins at West Beverly Hills High, where everyone is gathered in the quad watching the cheerleaders perform. I am very concerned, because they are doing …
