Goofs

As most pilots are shot far in advance of the actual episodes of a show (should it get picked up) there are many differences to note from the pilot to the first episode, and later episodes of Beverly Hills, 90210. -the Walsh home is not the Spanish style house used in all future episodes. -Brandon's car is not the same car he drives from episode 1-2 on, and later crashes, when driving drunk. -Kelly's mom is portrayed by a different actress than in future episodes, and she refers to a man named Bob, who is not mentioned in the future. -of course, Brandon's hair is longer, and his later famous sideburns are missing in the pilot.

A great movie for a great show

Watching this movie makes one see how you can get addicted to the show. When the show first started granted some of the stuff was unbelivable but it got better. It's amazing how much the show changed in the second season everything from fashion and haircuts to the cast and opening titles. The cast was great. Watch it for nostgala sake.
