1. Full House

Set in San Francisco, Full House is about the crazy adventures of Danny Tanner, his three girls (DJ, Stephanie and Michelle) and his best friend, Joey Gladstone, and brother-in-law, Jesse Katsopolis. Danny’s wife died in a car accident, leaving him to raise their three girls. He enlists the help of Joey and Jesse in bringing up the girls. I grew up watching this show and was probably the thing that sparked my interest in San Francisco.

2. The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air

The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air was the show that jumpstarted Will Smith’s acting career. Will Smith plays Will of West Philadelphia, who was sent by his grandma to Bel-Air, to avoid getting into trouble. His laidback attitude clashes with his uncle’s strict and controlling nature and leads to a lot of arguments.

3. Step By Step

Step By Step stars Patrick Duffy (Frank) and Suzanne Sommers (Carol), who impulsively marry each other. Each having three kids of their own, this results in the fusion of a really big family. The former families of four becomes one family of eight (and eventually, nine, with the birth of Frank and Carol’s kid). It’s chaotic but never boring.

4. Sabrina, The Teenage Witch

Sabrina the Teenage Witch is a spin-off of the comic book of the same name. Sabrina Spellman is a witch in high school. Having only discovered her powers on her 16th birthday, she hasn’t quite gotten the handle on the magic thing just yet.

What shows did you use to watch when you were a teenager?

But probably the most familiar and welcome return is the comeback of Peach Pit owner, Nat Bussichio (played by Joe E. Tata), whom the kids often ran to for advice or comfort. He will be reprising his role once again as the owner of the Peach Pit, the kids’ regular hang-out at 90210. There’s no word yet if his character will be a regular or recurring one. That all depends, he says, “If they still remember me”.

Are you excited about the return of our favorite zip code? Some people are not looking forward to it because they either: a) did not like the original 90210 or b) they think it’ll be a cheap spin-off of the original series. I’m curious though and probably will watch the first episode. I have to remember, though, to keep an open mind while watching the show, or I’ll end comparing the two and holding a torch for one of them.
