Whenever I am forced to enter an address when I am filling some kind of Web form, I always enter my city as Beverly Hills and zip code as 90210.
I'm quite sure I'm not the only one who does this.

I always put the earliest address possible in date forms (usually 1/1/1900).

I'm guessing the guy who lives at 123 Fake Street in Beverly Hills gets a lot of junk mail.

Donna Martin graduates!
Typing 90210 memories into Google, got this grinchy blogpost from Paul McNamara (no relation) at NetworkWorld, which I was amused by, in a "every parade can be rained on" sort of way.
I'm going to venture a guess that there are software developers shaking their heads (not to mention Europeans) who remember the genesis of a another 1990's phenomenon: The dreaded Y2K problem, i.e. software glitches - both real and ultimately exaggerated - brought about by earlier coding that failed to account for the inevitability of 1999 passing into 2000.
For those who were there, today is 09/02/2010, TV show or no TV show.
Like the original cast of 90210, I gradated in 1993. When I first moved to Chicago to live for the summer with a friend from high school, she was the tortured artist poet and I was the same but gay male version. We lived in Rogers Park and went to an Open Mic most Wednesday nights for her to read, and for me to support her play the "guess the bad rhyme" poetry listener. But we had a secret shame: we had to book it to the cafe (No Exit) because sign-up started at 8 but 90210 didn't end until then.

Bleh. I did find it interesting to discover that Ferris Bueller and Donnie Darko "lived" on the same street in Long Beach, though. In terms of LA location trivia.

In another stunning coincidence, MCMikeNamara, I only became exhaustively familiar with 90210 after moving to Rogers Park upon graduating from high school as well, though in 1995. And I knew you were talking about the No Exit cafe before you even mentioned its name. Too funny.

the 90210 theme song melody exists in my head solely as a wistful melancholy sigh about the short-lived tenure of Cap'n Jazz, rather than having anything at all to do with Brenda or Brandon or Dylan.
I must be the only person in the world who did not know that they played reunion shows this summer. Bummer.

Sadly, the proper metric date for this, 90-2-10 happened a long time before metric was invented.

Indeed, the UK celebrated this auspicious day many months earlier. I wore ripped light coloured denim and failed to be able to act, look as if I can act or even pretend to be acting, to show solidarity.

I remember biking by the Manhattan Pier once and it was closed off for filming, reportedly, an episode of 90210.
Never watched the show, though. It seemed to me that anyone having grown up in LA outside of that zipcode could not be bothered.

There are very few shows that lasted 10 years or more that make me say "Yeah, I can see why that show's deserved to last this long." I had "60 Freakin' Minutes" in the background the other night, which has been on CBS for 42 years, and thought, "Please, somebody put Andy Rooney and Steve Kroft and all of these inane interviewers who ask the same stagey mock-surprised questions over and over again out of their misery."

When a song particularly redolent of the 80s - say, "Secret Message" by Nu Shooz - comes up in a shuffle playlist, I'll do my best Billy Idol impression while shouting "80s Forever!".
At first I thought I was just being facetious about how goddamned old I am. But increasingly I think it's genuine wistfulness.

I think they should be put out of our misery.

As my best friend said on fb (completely independent of my comment here, which shows why he's my best friend):
"2010-09-02 is not a zipcode. But it is ISO compliant."
