Beverly Hills 90210 - It’s a Totally Happening Life

It’s 1992, and a group of 30-year-old teenagers are on a bus trip to their doom unless an angel in training can convince her supervisor they’re worth saving.  Ed Daly, author of “The Christmas Book: The Ultimate Guide to Your Favorite Holiday,” joins us for a very strange and very special visit to America’s most famous ZIP code in our first adaptation of It’s a Wonderful Life, even though this episode seems to have forgotten to actually adapt it.  ****  Topics & Tangents:  Bonnie Urseth (Miriam) in “We’ve Got It Made.”  Brian Austin Green (David) as Metallo on “Smallville.”  Luke Perry (Dylan) in “The Sandlot: Heading Home.”  Of course Donna’s birthday is on Christmas Day.  Brandon’s amazing, generic FOOTBALL/SPORTS poster above his bed.  The West Beverly High Madrigal Singers (no relation) sing the original, drinking song lyrics to “Deck the Hall.”  ****  Commercials:  7up Cool Spot Christmas Commercial (1992)  Can’t Wait for Christmas Podcast.  ****  “Beverly Hills 90210” and “It’s a Totally Happening Life” © 1992 Torand Productions, Inc.  Theme song by Bronwen’s Ghost.  Find us at adventcalendar.house.
