Luke Perry (Dylan McKay)

Me too, I liked Luke Perry, but WOW! I can't believe it was that long ago.

I saw the pilot recently while surfing. They looked like babies then didn't they?

My daughter, now almost 30, has fond memories of watching this with me. We had meaningful conversations about the events of the show. It was a great teaching tool because the gang was usually doing something questionable. I'm glad most of her teenage years did not resemble the drama on the show.

 

[WeLoveLilo05]

I think they picked really great actors and actresses for the original cast, I couldn't imagine the show without any one of them and it is really hard for me to pick a favorite, but the person who always makes me laugh on the show is Steve Sanders lol.

I really liked Jim and Cindy Walsh, they were "the perfect parents" for my era I think lol.

 

[redlight]

I liked Brandon and Val.

Dylan - Luke Perry. I totally remember watching the Pilot for it too.

Thank you for making me feel as old as dirt..

My favorite was Andrea.. Never liked Brenda - she was a spoiled brat with a sassy mouth towards her parents from day one..

I also liked Jim (the dad) and Nat - the guy who ran the Peach Pit..

(It was the "Peach Pit" right? Memory is not as good as it used to be.. LOL..)

 

[charming23]

^^^^ it was the Peach Pit.

I loved Dylan. I think he was my first tv crush. My parents used to watch it and I remember feeling so special when I was allowed to watch with them as I was only 5 when it premeired. I finally got to watch it all the time when I was 10 and still watch it occasionally on Soapnet when I am home.

I liked Dylan.

I watch the reruns everyday on SoapNet 11a.m. and 12 p.m. (set your DVRs) ad then they repeat at 4 and 5 p.m.

Remember how there was always a scene where they would show a brooding Dylan standing by his retro Porche while he waited for whatever girl to come out of wherever. I had a guy freind in high school, who drove an MG (close enough for me) who would give me my own "brooding leaning against the car Dylan" moments. We were never a couple, but really should have been, but our refrain was "let's not do something that would ruin our friendship"...although we did spend a lot of moments listening to REM in his car. Ahhhhhh, the good old days.

And no, I did not like the Kelly/Dylan hookup. I was Brenda/Dylan all they way.

Love the reruns on Soapnet...I watch it a few times a week, while i'm making dinner. My favorite is Kelly, and my favorite season was Senior Yr in College. I loved the David/Donna storyline that year, not my favorite year for Kelly with the fire, pregnancy an shooting....but what can you do? lol

Thanks for the link!

I just looked up Carol Potter (the mom) because she looked so young. She was only 42. That's only two years older than I am now .

And Brandon's mullet .

I still love the old shows, and I even watch the new 90210 every week .

My favorite guy was Brandon, and then when he left David. Kelly was my favorite girl. I also loved the Donna and David story and the last episode was so great when they got married!! I have that song Spend My Life by Eric Bennet?? on my IPOD- it reminds me of them getting married. LOL My favorite show ever!! LOL
