Beverly Hills, 90210: The Complete Series

Yeah.... I'll buy this... when hell freezes over.
Dear Fans,

Remember when Dylan and Brenda broke up in season three and Brenda listened to "Losing My Religion" on a loop? Yeah. Well if you buy these dvds, you won't be hearing that. Remember when Kelly and Dylan spent the night on the beach, also in season 3, and Sophie B. Hawkins, "Damn I wish I was your lover" played in the background. That's gone too.

So is "Can't Cry Hard Enough" when Dylan sees himself as a child after his dad "dies." So is Guns n Roses' "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" after Scott dies in season 2. So is "Nobody Knows Me" by Lyle Lovett after Antonia dies in season six. So is "Graduation Day" by Chris Isaak in the beginning of Graduation Day in the season 7 finale. So is "Living in a Fantasy" by the Rainbow Band when David starts using drugs in season four.

You get the gist here? Every song that you relate to this series has been taken from you through these dvds. In Slumber Party in season one, the girls still sing to...

A bit disappointed
The DVDs are fine but this isn't really a 10-season box set, per se. Instead, its 10, individual 1-season box sets that are all different shapes, sizes and package types. It's essentially a supremely cheap bundling together of the individual seasons, as they were released over time. For devout fans of 90210, who waited to purchase the entire series all at once, you're going to be somewhat disappointed that the set isn't more of an actual set. There's no outer sleeve to hold all the indivdual box sets, no series notes, no compendium, no unifying art direction . . . absolutely nothing to indicate, once you remove the plastic the sets are wrapped in, that the individual seasons are all part of the same set. So, if you want the discs, go for it, but if you're looking for that truly special commemorative box set of the iconic series, this definitely isn't it.

Very disappointing!
I have purchased sets of DVDs before, and love how they have been packaged. You do not get this with this set. It is also disappointing that the original music has been replaced with music I've never heard before. In the slumber party scene, you see the girls lip syncing to Mony Mony while some strange song plays in the background. In the episode Fire and Ice, when Brandon and be figure skater skate to I've had the Time of My Life, some random, not romantic fast song plays. In the end, I am disappointed that I spent the amount of money to not have the original series, and the music was a big part of the original series.
