Review:

Thanks to DVDs, all of your favorite '80's animations series are being are becoming available to own. Mill Creek Entertainment released the first 32 episodes of the 1987 series Beverly Hills Teens earlier this year and now the second volume featuring the final 33 episodes is available to own on DVD.

Beverly Hills Teens is about a group of wealthy teens, but with the typical teenage problems, but the problems are outrageous. It’s a combination of Sweet Valley High and 90210. The series had a wide variety of different characters, such as the 10-year-old freshman Chester McTech, the money crazed Buck Huckster, scheming Bianca Dupree and the part-time model Larke Tanner.

Yes, Beverly Hills Teens was aimed for girls, but I have to admit that I actually watched the series (well parts of it) when I was a six-year-old. I remember the series being paired with Maxie's World, but I was only wasting time until Alvin & the Chipmunks started. That being said, I still have fond memories of the Beverly Hills Teens, though the series has aged, especially with all the '80 clichés. New generations of kids may not understand some of the slang, but adults in their thirties will get a kick out of revisiting the very rich teens of Beverly Hills.
