Hey 90120, Talk to The Angel!

It’s “Bev Niner” day and when I think of 90120, I think about The Heights and when I think about this atrocious knock-off of an atrocious show, I think about The GREATEST TV BAND EVER that featured a girl sax player, Balki Bartokomous on keyboards, young Darius Rucker slapping the bass and Michael Bolton Jr. coming dangerously close to making out with the singer who is best known for beating up Donna Martin. Remember that nastiness? I remember cheering.

Honestly, I don’t recall much about this show, but I do love fake TV bands. Let’s take a look at The Heights’ photo. Well, what do you know? The 46-year-old bad boy of the group is wearing the same Hüsker Dü t-shirt I was probably wearing while growing out my sideburns and singing along to this angelic tune back in 1992. Two questions: Why is there a chain link fence directly against a wall? Why is Bolton Jr. sitting so low?

Wow, that long-necked, sax-sucking chick is Cheryl Pollak. Remember her? She was in a ton of stuff back in the late 80s, early 90s, most notably My Best Friend Is a Vampire, Melrose Place and one of Brad Pitt’s first awful movies about a boy who can’t get a decent tan.

This show  lasted only one year, a year too long for most people’s liking. That said, it was better than that other knock-off, 2000 Malibu Road, starring fun-killer Drew Barrymore and that guy with the dreamy eyes.

Back to music. Like you, my favorite TV band of 1992 was probably “The Dreams”

What the fuck happened to these actors? Wait, this just in: “The Dreams are regrouping with original line-up and will play Coachella, Bumbershoot, Doodlyfarts and Pitchfork Fest in 2011.”

Best TV band ever? That’s easy, Dregs of Humanity…

Okay, I’m tired of of my own nostalgia. I’m done. There are more videos to watch… Oh, Dear Lord, NO!
