90210 Locations Pt. 4

23 01 2009

It’s time for a look at another iconic Beverly Hills, 90210 location.

West Beverly High

Torrance High School!

I mean, West Beverly!

The first three seasons were actually shot at this high school in Torrance.  The new 90210 continues to shoot there as well, and at a high school in El Segundo.

Does this look familiar?  (Ignore the fence!)

West Beverly Courtyard

Many a scene took place in this courtyard, and around the fountain (currently under construction).

Look closely! That’s me sitting Dylan McKay-style!

Sitting Dylan McKay-Style

Let’s see if you recognize any of these areas…

Come back tomorrow to see where the gang goes after high school graduation!

News Roundup: 90210, Dawson’s Creek, Gossip Girl and More

22 01 2009
  • Amiee Teegarden (from Friday Night Lights) will be making an appearance on the upcoming 90210.
  • The new 90210 will finally be starting in England this month but they got a special bonus episode: 90210: That Was Then, This Is Now.  Jealous!
  • Jason Priestley’s new movie re-airs tonight on the Hallmark Channel.
  • James Van Der Beek (Dawson, Dawson’s Creek) will guest-star on an upcoming episode of Medium.  Not clear yet if this means he’s done with OTH.
  • Chace Crawford (Nate, Gossip Girl), filmed a Public Service Announcement that you can view here.
  • Kelly Rutherford (Lily, Gossip Girl) went to court today to defend her work schedule in hopes of obtaining custody of her son.

90210 Locations Pt. 3

22 01 2009

I have one more “residence” to show you from the trip and it’s a doozy.

Any guesses?

It’s Dylan McKay’s house!

A peek inside the windows showed me that this location was used for exterior AND interior filming.  (I can’t say the same for Casa Walsh and the Beach Apartment.)  The inside, right down to the furniture set up, looks pretty much exactly as it did on the show.  We snapped a few more photos before we realized somebody was inside watching TV!  And then we ran!

Coincidentally, this house is only four houses west of Casa Walsh!

Come back tomorrow to see where the gang goes to school!

90210 Locations Pt. 2

21 01 2009

You’ve seen Casa Walsh.  Now here’s a different residence…

The Beach Apartment!

While Kelly and Donna did in fact “live” on the beach, it wasn’t in Beverly Hills.  Instead, they lived about a half hour south of Los Angeles, in Hermosa Beach.

Let’s take a second to think about all the different people that lived here: Kelly, Donna, David, Clare, Carly, Gina and Janet.  As Clare once said, it’s all about “location, location, location!”

90210, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill and More

20 01 2009
  • A “crisis” will occur in the 90210 episode that Jason Priestley directs.  A hospital is involved somehow.
  • AnnaLynne McCord (Naomi, 90210) will be returning to Nip/Tuck later this month.
  • More details are being released about Kelly Rutherford’s (Lily, Gossip Girl) impending divorce and custody battle.
  • EW’s recap of last night’s Gossip Girl (you can read my reaction here) criticizes The O.C. and Dawson’s Creek for the way it transitioned to college.  Beverly Hills 90210, on the other hand, is complimented.
  • DC is again criticized here, now by Buddy TV, for its approach to college. This time, though, The O.C. and One Tree Hill get credit.
  • A paper in the UK is calling Gossip Girl “rubbish” that they “can’t get enough of.”  What does that say about them?
  • There’s a new page on Facebook exclusively for Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick, Gossip Girl) quotes.
  • According to an exclusive statement given to OneTreeHillFans.com, there will not be an OTH charity basketball game like there’s been in the past.
  • The same site is also reporting of rumors that Chad Michael Murray (Lucas) will not return for a seventh season.  They also acknowledge this has been denied by the network.

90210 Locations!

20 01 2009

As I mentioned yesterday, I spent a good chunk of my time in LA checking out the places where Beverly, Hills 90210 was filmed.  It was incredibly surreal to be at the houses and businesses I’ve seen repeatedly on television for more than ten years.  To share some of my excitement with all of you, each day for the rest of the week I’ll post a couple of pictures and some commentary.

So let’s get started!

Does this look familiar?

dsc02848

Okay, how about a closer look?

dsc02850

It’s Casa Walsh!

dsc02854

Though it was private property, I snuck up close to take this picture.

dsc02851

Seen in all ten seasons of the series, Casa Walsh was located on the show at 953 Hillcrest Drive, Beverly Hills.  While there is in fact a 953 Hillcrest Drive in California, the house used for filming was actually located in Altadena, more than 20 miles away.

Be sure to check back tomorrow for more pictures!

Site of the Week: 90210Locations

19 01 2009

While in Los Angeles this past week, I was planning on doing some scouting, based on my own knowledge, of places seen on Beverly Hills, 90210.

And then about a week before I left, I found this: 90210Locations, the most thorough listing of all the sites I’ve seen on the show.

Where is Casa Walsh really located?  They have it.

Where was Jack McKay allegedly blown up? They have it.

Where were all the locations of The Peach Pit? They have it.

Where are the locations of the new 90210?  They have it.

And when I tell you I was hyperventilating when I found this, I am not exaggerating.

All this week I’ll post the pictures I took at the locations I visited.

But whether you actually get to go there or not, this site is THE resource to have.

Special thanks to Geoff for all his help!

Unrelated but also worth checking out: The O.C. Filming Locations

News Roundup: 90210, Gossip Girl and Dawson’s Creek

17 01 2009
  • Do any of you watch Skins?  The Washington Post says it makes Gossip Girl and 90210 “look like ‘Little House on the Prairie.'”
  • What do the 90210 stars, new and old, think about football and the Superbowl?  You can find out here.
  • Ouch!  A new article calls 90210 “spineless” and Gossip Girl “shallow.”  The article names Friday Night Lights the “teen drama MVP.”  If that’s right, apparently I should be covering it…
  • Michael Steger (Navid, 90210) has managed to keep a low-profile since the series began.  He opens up a teensy bit in this new article.
  • It’s not 90210 and sure ain’t General Hospital.  Instead, Vanessa Marcil (Gina, Beverly Hills 90210) is headed to Without a Trace.
  • The Boston Globe has a great article about Michelle Williams (Jen, Dawson’s Creek), her new movie Wendy and Lucy, and life after Heath.  You can read it here.
