Studying the Classics

Searches on America's favorite Zip Code are making a comeback. Could it be the long-awaited release of the first season of "Beverly Hills 90210" on DVD? The sideburns and receding hairlines of the '90s oldest high schoolers are back in style and Buzz on "90210" was up 46% yesterday.

The years since the halcyon days of the Peach Pit haven't been kind to the stars of "90210." Dylan and Brandon aren't exactly hunks anymore, and Donna Martin has graduated to a life of lurid tabloid headlines. We checked searches on the actors of West Beverly and found an unlikely number one...

  1. Kathleen Robertson
  2. Shannen Doherty
  3. Tori Spelling
  4. Jennie Garth
  5. Luke Perry
  1. Brian Austin Green
  2. Jason Priestley
  3. Tiffani Theissen
  4. Ian Ziering
  5. Gabrielle Carteris

While it was tough to top "90210" as a guilty pleasure, "Melrose Place" managed to drown the competition in a sea of soapy suds. Also out now on DVD, season one of "Melrose" offers little hint of the campy and bitchy drama the show would become in its later years.

Most of the credit for the show's eventual success is laid at the beautiful feet of diva-licious Heather Locklear. The blonde bombshell who played the awesomely bad Amanda appropriately ranks at the top of our Search survey of Melrose's biggest stars...

  1. Heather Locklear
  2. Marcia Cross
  3. Courtney Thorne-Smith
  4. Daphne Zuniga
  5. Jack Wagner
  6. Josie Bissett
  1. Doug Savant
  2. Rob Estes
  3. Laura Leighton
  4. Andrew Shue
  5. Grant Show
  6. Thomas Calabro

If you were in your 20's in the 1990's, then you wanted to look like these guys, dress like them and be them!! They were the coolest. I loved both shows.

Actually 90210 ran for nearly 10 years -- so if you think it was just around for 2 seasons, you weren't into 90210!!
