How Long Did ‘Beverly Hills 90210’ air on Fox?
“Beverly Hills, 90210” aired on Fox for a decade. It ran for 10 seasons and 293 episodes from October 4, 1990, to May 17, 2000.
It wasn’t just a TV show. For many viewers, it was teen drama at its finest.
The series kicked off when Brandon and Brenda Walsh (Jason Priestly and Shannen Doherty) got yanked from comfy Minnesota and dropped right into the ultra-glam, sun-soaked world of West Beverly High. Before long, viewers were completely hooked on the drama.
Dylan McKay (Luke Perry) was TV’s ultimate bad boy, Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garth) defined cool, and innocent and naive Brenda Martin (Spelling) fell hard for nerdy David Silver (Green). Between the legendary outfits, the iconic theme song, and the ups and downs of teenage life, the 1990s series captured that wild, messy feeling of being a teenager better than any show on television during its heydey.
