School's out? Not by a long shot! The halls of West Beverly High remain the hottest place to be as TVtropolis presents a 12-hour Beverly Hills, 90210 marathon Monday, July 3 beginning at 12 noon ET/PT.


Beverly Hills, 90210 follows twins Brandon and Brenda Walsh (Jason Priestley, Shannen Doherty) as they relocate from Minnesota and adjust to the glamorous high school life in Beverly Hills, CA. The teens dabble in "Cali excess" with their schoolmates, including rebel Dylan (Luke Perry), spoiled socialite Kelly (Jennie Garth), egomaniac Steve (Ian Ziering), wannabe David (Brian Austin Green) and eternally-innocent Donna (Tori Spelling). Despite the temptations, romances and larger than life adventures, Brandon and Brenda remain well-grounded through the guidance of their parents, Jim and Cindy (James Eckhouse, Carol Potter).

Transcending mere television to become an international cultural phenomenon, Beverly Hills, 90210 remained fantastically popular throughout its 10-year run, influencing everything from pop music to hairstyles (sideburns!) and still maintains devout fans of all ages.

The 90210 marathon - a tribute to series executive producer/TV impresario Aaron Spelling, who passed away June 23 at the age of 83 - will showcase a dozen watershed episodes from TV's most enigmatic zip code.
