Mom's all-time favorite show was Beverly Hills, 90210. As I was growing up, she and I watched it a lot, along with other FOX dramas but not as much of a high rotation as 90210.
Of course my brothers never joined us. They were "too old" for shows "that old" they'd laugh. But that was fine with mom. It meant more mom/son time for us two. Even though I saw the show a lot in my twenty-two years, it was my all-time favorite show as well. As I got older, I had crushes on Brenda, Kelly, Andrea and Donna. But Kelly - Kelly Taylor - played by Jennie Garth, was my favorite. There was something special about her.
I watched Kelly grow as a person over the ten years the show ran. I was disappointed that she and Brandon never married.
I used to wonder what became of Kelly Taylor after the FOX show ended. Of course I didn't have to wait long, The CW revived the show as 90210 which aired for five years. Kelly Taylor was featured for a while as a Guidance Counselor who had a son with Dylan but they broke up later. Kelly wasn't on the the reboot long.
Of course when I reached a certain age, I started viewing Kelly Taylor as I should have, as a character played by Jennie Garth. After Beverly Hills, 90210 and before 90210, Jennie Garth did co-star in a sitcom on The CW with Amanda Bynes called What I Like About You, but I couldn't get into her character or the series, they were too different thasn her Kelly Taylor character and Beverly Hills, 90210. Of course she took on many other roles, but I couldn't bring myself to watching any other roles, fearing I'd be disappointed in her acting in those roles.
