"Just because I'm popular doesn't mean I have to like everybody"

Every now and then I find something online that allows me to re-live parts of my life. Usually it's music or skateboarding related; the deck graphic I remember from when I learned how to ollie and not just bounce off a crack in the sidewalk or that one song I remember listening to over and over again as I drove out to Toggenburg after school to snowboard. But this recent discovery might be the crown jewel:
cbs.com has the first three seasons of Beverly Hills 90210 free for the watching. I started high school with them (well, David Silver atleast). And sure, they beat me to the punch of graduating college, but they remained on TV to coach me all the way through until I caught up with them. I remember watching this show at home in highschool. I remember watching this show when I took my break from college and lived in the mountains of CO. I remember watching the final episode at Ryther's house in Killington, VT. And I certainly remember watching the reunion the night before I moved from Denver back to the east to go to grad school. I think I might have even pushed the drive back a few days to watch it with a long time lover of all things "Kelly", Matt Kitt.
This show will stand the test of time as thee single best teen soap opera. I salute you "Bev 9'r".
(Please note above that Steve Sanders is wearing a blazer with shorts. Dude's about 45 here, yet still in high school.)
