Synopsis:
The following is from the DVD description:
“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.”
