zOMG! Beverly Hills 90210 is HERE!
Today is the day that my productivity goes straight downhill.
We have what might be my favorite show in the history of television shows on Joost.
Beverly Hills 90210. And yes, it’s the Brenda years.
Alternatively called, by my friends and me, 90210, BH nine-oh, Nine-oh, Beverly Hills – Nine-oh was the highlight of my young (and, let’s face it, post-college) life.
I am euphoric. The first season alone had EVERYTHING – teenage pregnancy, drunk driving, car theft, affairs, alcoholism, cliques and, of course, drama and romance.
I have so many fond memories about this show. Just to hear the theme song again brings a tear to my eye. My friends and I taped this episode (we used VCRs back in the early ‘90s) and watched it over and over again. In college, there were late night BH Nine-oh "trivia" games ... and sadly, the list goes on.
I don’t think there’s ever been a group of 20- and 30-year olds who have done as good of a job at playing high school students as the gang from West Beverly. Even know, I think of them by their character names: Brandon, Brenda, Dylan, Kelly, Donna, David, Steve and Andrea. Oh, plus Nat, Emily Valentine, Scott, Jim and Cindy, and on and on … I think it's indisputable that this show revolutionized teen dramas. The OC certainly wouldn't have happened without Nine-oh and, in my opinion, 90210 is also responsible for today’s best television show – Gossip Girl.
The episodes from the first three seasons are up now and the channel will be up soon – I’ll update this as soon as it is. Also, I am TRULY sorry, but this show is only available in the U.S. But summer’s coming and the dollar is still cheap – and now there's even more reason for you to come visit!
Updated: The channel is up!

HAAAHHHHAAAHHHHAHHHHAAA - "This show is not available in your country - Find out why". Not even crappy 90210 is available in Australia.
Sheesh Joost you've sucked me in again with the promise of of no content. If you can't get any global content I wonder if you'll EVER find any audiences before you burn through all your investors cash....
Back to standard ole TV

Hi Daz -
Sorry you can't watch 90210 in Australia - we don't have the rights to distribute it there. We are expanding our international offering, so stay tuned.
Matt - I'm aware. I feel fortunate that there are others like me.

Never could get into that show, then again it was a little before my time perhaps.

I so hope that you will be able to bring 90210 to Oz, please keep us posted if it is going to happen or not. worst case scenario is that I'll just have to wait and then order the season DvDs from the states...
