Beverly Hills 90210: Fourth Season

Takes humanity to new lows via the amusing wrecking ball that is Shannen Doherty's Brenda Walsh. Too bad her off-screen antics led to her being fired from the show at the end of this season.

Still, while she is here, there’s no question that she’s the star.

With high school out of the way and everyone now at college, more turmoil is allowed to boil in Beverly Hills. This is the season, after all, in which one character starts popping pills, others steal away for a secret wedding, and another is accused of date rape.

In between, there’s more gossip to fill a week’s worth of posts at PerezHilton.com, which is just how fans want it. On those terms, this fourth season succeeds.
