Beverly Hills 90210 Still Canceled

Posted on March 13, 2008 by Loren

The world has changed much in the 8 years since Beverly Hills 90210 was canceled.  Many TV viewers have forgotten about it; many don’t even know it existed.  But that does not deter Cincinnati BH9 Chapter President Vince Anderson from collecting signatures again for the group’s 30th quarterly letter. “Perseverance is the key here” Explains Vince.  “If we can demonstrate that we are a large committed fan base, then they’ve just got to bring the show back.  I mean, in episode 2190008, when Andrea questioned Brenda’s devotion at the teen hot line, what did  Brenda do?  She didn’t give up, she worked even harder, and a life was saved because of it.  This could help to save even more lives.”

Organized in May of 2000 by Vince himself, the Cincinnati chapter of BH9 was the only chapter in Ohio at the time, and was one of only 7 such chapters across the country.  Like its sister chapters, it was started in the hopes of convincing FOX that the characters portrayed in the series were ripe with new stories, and that people all over the country were eager to see more.  With just 3 members on the roster,and a petition signed by 18 people, Vince pled his case in a heartfelt letter to Producer Arron Spelling.  “We didn’t get a response from him” recalls Vince “but that never deterred us.”

In 2002, long-time BH9 Secretary, Bill Henderson quit and  joined the Army Reserves. “Actually he quit after coming back from boot camp” explains Vince “He was talking all crazy saying things like he was wasting his life, and he wanted to do more.  I just didn’t know him anymore.”  Shortly thereafter, Financial secretary James Bergstrom also quit after his parents kicked him out of their basement.  “I think they thought he was doing drugs or something” says Vince “He’d tried to make crystal meth to sell, but it never worked.”

Beginning to lose all hope, and in flagrant violation of “Robert’s Rules of Order”, Vince ran the club all by himself until August of 2002, when Dean McLahone, who had expressed interest, but could never attend any meetings because he was in jail, was released.  “That really inspired us to re-double our efforts” says Vince “and when we sent in our 15th petition, with 167 signatures  on it, we got a response!”  The Cincinnati BH9ers, as they like to be called, received a court order to cease and desist all written correspondence with Arron Spelling, whom it said was a very busy man with over 200 producer credits to his name, only 1 of which was Beverly Hills 90210.  “A real response from Arron’s lawyers!”

Then in January of 2004, the club spiked to its all time high membership of 4, thanks to the birth of twins,  Andrea Brenda and Brandon Dylan Anderson to Vince’s wife Stephanie.  Stephanie, who has never been a BH9 member, says she can’t understand why Vince hasn’t moved on.  “Everybody needs a hobby” she says, “but this is just talking about a television show that ended 8 years ago. I mean play a video game or something.”

Tragedy struck the Cincinnati BH9ers when Arron Spelling died in June of 2006, “It was like the tolling of a death knell or something.” Recalls Vince “Nobody knew what to say.  But then I realized that this was not the death of us, but a new lease on life!”  With Arron’s death, the court order was void, and the group again was free to send in its petitions. “We’re gonna win this battle,” Vince says with conviction, “and the world will be a better place for Andrea and Brandon, and children all across this great country!”
