: : I am continually appalled by the ignorance of so many on this. 90210 only started ten fucking years ago. Hell, it just went off the air LAST YEAR. Unless your age has yet to roll over into the double digits, there is absolutely no excuse for not knowing this.
: Ok, well I'm 16, so I was 6 when it started. I have never heard of anyone 6 year olds watching that show. 90210 was a show that would be a little hard to pick up on in the middle. Besides that, 90210 isn't a show for everyone, there are people that were in the main age group that 90210 was targeted at that didn't watch the show.
: :This is pop culture knowledge at its most rudimentary.
: Pop culture disgusts me.
: : My brain just cannot absorb the fact that there exist people who don't know the names of famous 90210 characters, but actually know who Brodie and Silent Bob are. That's amazing to me.
: Where would you even start to assume that people who watch Kevin's films would also watch 90210? I don't care if there are people, which there obviously are, that watch both, but not everyone has to be that way.
: :And don't give me that whole "well, I never watched 90210" or "it was before my time" horseshit. I know the names of the Andy Griffith Show characters and that show predates me by a good couple of decades.
: I don't know any of the characters names in the Andy Griffith Show. I don't really watch TV that much.
: : If you were alive in the early '90s and don't know why Doherty is called Brenda, then I can only rationalize that you were in deep seclusion somewhere.
: You're right, anyone who doesn't know all the characters in 90210 must be deeply secluded from the world, because we know that shut-ins watch absolutely no TV what so ever.
: :Either that or you're far too young to be watching Kevin Smith movies.
: Once again, you're absolutely right, 16 is far far too young to be watching Kevin's films.
: : Good thing Kevin never opted to toss in an ALF reference anywhere. That's from the late '80s. To most of his fans, that might as well be the fucking Paleolithic Era.
: So then overall, you're amazed that there is a single person on earth who never was interested in 90210. I think that's even more pathetic than someone not knowing that Shannon Doherty's character's name in a TV show.
