Beverly Hills 90210

Wealthy teens' zip

Beverly Hills 90210 is an American television drama that aired from 1990 to 2000, following wealthy teenagers in the affluent Los Angeles neighborhood.

The show became a cultural touchstone for depicting privileged youth navigating relationships, family drama, and social issues.

The title—combining the neighborhood name with its postal code—became shorthand for ostentatious wealth and teen melodrama: Their house was straight out of Beverly Hills 90210.
