Generation 90210 Remembers

The 90210 episode wherein Brandon, Nikki, David, and Donna go to a Rosie O'Donnell comedy benefit.



Why does the audience laugh at Rosie's joke about her parents watching? Is it because they all know that the idea of Rosie O'Donnell getting laid in high school is kind of silly? That has to be it, because Rosie O'Donnell is not funny. We just need to establish that right away. This clip doesn't show Rosie, all Donahue-style, going out into the audience to ask the real teenagers about their sexual experience. You miss Nikki, Brandon's 15 old girlfriend who is not only on at least her second sexual partner with ole' Brando, but who has survived an abusive relationship with a guy in a band named, get this, Diesel. Ms. Ramona doesn't know about you, but while her friends and family might have looked the other way on the whole beating her up thing, there would have been a line drawn in the sand over dating someone who went by Diesel. Just saying. Like Emily Valentine, Nikki was also from San Francisco; are these ladies supposed to be cluing us in to Brandon's bohemian side? Finally, as rich as Donna Martin was, why did she wear a black spandex dress for the entire first semester of senior year?
And here is the rest of it.

  1. 1. Rosie is and never will be funny.
    2. I always thought of Emily Valentine and Nikki as huge rebels and secretly envied their coolness.
    3. Donna Martin wore the coolest outfits that I was never allowed to even try on! I finally got my first Wet Seal outfit at age 16 for a boy-girl party I was invited to (my parents of course didn't know it was boy-girl) and it was soooo expensive (I think around $70 total for the top and mini jean shorts with lace sticking out of the bottom) but I absolutely loved the outfit and wanted to wear it EVERYWHERE! Oh, and I had a white lace scrunchie to go along with it. Obvi.
