Donna Martin Graduates!!!!

[Bigdaddydvo]

Right now the Soap Network is running a Beverly Hills 90210 Labor Day Marathon that has some of the best episodes of the series. Current episode: Donna Martin (played by the capable Tori Spelling) gets drunk at the Prom and is caught by the Vice Principal. Because the school issued a directive that anyone caught drinking at Prom would not graduate, Donna is in a world of hurt until Brandon, Brenda, Dylan, and Steve organize a walkout during Finals which is punctuated by the memorable refrain "Donna Martin Graduates!!!" I won't spoil the ending, but let's just say things turn out on the up and up for the crowd of West Beverly.

This happens to be my all time favorite 90210 episode. Other nominations?

Things like this make me miss the US. Bad. All I get is Family Matters dubbed in Spanish.

Rusty, a technician at the TV station, quits in anger after the police question him about Donna. Evan admits his feelings for Donna and confesses that he is the stalker. When she tells Brandon and Tracy, he pulls a gun and holds the entire staff hostage. He holds Donna at gunpoint and forces Brandon and Tracy to put him on the air. He eventually lets the others leave, but Brandon refuses to leave Donna. Donna tricks Evan into putting his gun down by feigning an interest in him. She kisses him, then kicks the gun away as the SWAT team moves in to arrest him. Val threatens to fire Tom unless he stops seeing Kelly. She apologizes, but he quits anyway. Kelly claims that she is not acting out of spite. Steve and Clare try to keep their parents from dating, as they are afraid of being left behind. They finally apologize after realizing how selfishly they have acted.

My gf spends a LOT of time watching 90210.

She calls it "the niner."

It's about 2/3 joking.

I talked to her just now and found out that it is pretty much ZERO percent joking.

One of the most classic TV moments of the 90's. The entire student body rallying behind her with homemade signs is just hilarious. Definitely my favourite 90210 moment.

I wish I had something original to add to this thread but the simple fact is "Donna Martin Graduates" is so far the best ever episode of 90210 that it's not really a discussion.

I like the one when they get taken hostage at the tv station.

Donna Martin graduates is awesome as well.

I watched an episode last week where Steve Sanders participated in a sting operation to trap some older sloot who was trying to use her position as a company interviewer to bed him. It was pretty rad.

Some of my favorites:

Brandon gets in too deep with his gambling habit.

Emily Valentine sets the homecoming float on fire.

Ray Pruitt takes Donna to the pumpkin patch on their first date.

Steve gets caught trying to steal the baseball for a scavenger hunt.

I miss that show. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
