We Authorize You To Watch The Unauthorized Beverly Hills, 90210 Story!
Because...we will be. And you should join us.
Apologies for "reminding" you of something you CLEARLY know and have been knowing for months, but just in case you lost the phone on which you'd set your alarm or you've suffered a bout of soap opera amnesia: The Unauthorized Beverly Hills, 90210 Story hits Lifetime this weekend.

Naturally, we are covering this event in several ways. Other than this staggeringly important post reminding you about it, I will also be live-tweeting it from @PreviouslyTVNow during the broadcast. And immediately upon the movie's conclusion, we'll have a special episode of Again With This to chronicle all the highs and lows. "But will there also be Visual Aids?" Of course there will. I don't want to spoil all of them, so here's one that should give you an idea of the verisimilitude this production displays:
It's going to be fun! Don't miss it, or Shannen Doherty AND "Shannen Doherty" will find you on a nightclub dance floor and punch you in the tit!
The Unauthorized Beverly Hills, 90210 story premieres at 8 PM ET on Saturday, October 3, on Lifetime.
