THIS WEEK, WE ARE STEPPING BACK IN TIME AND CATCHING UP WITH
SOME CHILDHOOD IDO IDOLS. PEOPLE WE ADMIRED.
MINE WAS SAVION GLOVER. >> AND DYLAN IS STEPPING BACK IN
TIME. >> I WAS OBSESSED.
IN THE '90s, OBSESSION. >> THERE YOU GO.
>> HOW DO YOU LIKE MY VARSITY JACKET THERE?
"BEVERLY HILLS 90210." IT WAS APPOINTMENT TELEVISION
FOR ME, EVERY DAY AFTER SCHOOL, WHEN IT WAS ON RERUNS.
MY IDOL IS A NO-BRAINER, ONE OF THE SHOW'S HOTTEST HEARTTHROBS.
>> LUKE PERRY? >> THE FUN, FRESH, EDGY DRAMA,
"BEVERLY HILLS 90210" PRODUCED US TO THESE WEST COAST HIGH
SCHOOLERS TURNED GROWN-UP. BUT THE FICTIONAL COOL KID WHO
WAS MY FAVORITE FROM THE MOMENT I SAW HIM, BRANDON WALSH, PLAYED
BY JASON PRIESTLY. THE SHOW WAS BUILT AROUND
BRANDON AND HIS TWIN SISTER, BRENDA, WHO MOVED WITH THEIR
PARENTS FROM THE MIDWEST, TO THE RITZY ZIP CODE.
>> WHAT DID YOU THINK? >> WE'RE DEFINITELY NOT IN
MINNEAPOLIS ANYMORE. >> Reporter: FROM FRIENDSHIPS TO
FIGHTS, TO FRANK TALKS ABOUT SEX AND RELATIONSHIPS.
THE SHOW LEFT AN IMPRESSION ON ME.
>> NOT GETTING SUPPORT FROM MY FRIENDS.
>> YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT'S KILLING ME, KELLY.
>> HI, DYLAN. >> Reporter: NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> IT'S NOT THE PEACH PIT. CAN WE RUN INTO THIS DINER, HAVE
A CHAT? >> ABSOLUTELY.
>> Reporter: ALL RIGHT. LET'S DO IT.
DO YOU GET SICK OF TALKING ABOUT 90210?
>> THAT SHOW WAS SO ICONIC, SO -- I'M PERFECTLY HAPPY TO
TALK ABOUT IT. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK IT WAS
ABOUT THAT SHOW THAT RESONATED ON SO MANY PEOPLE AT THE TIME?
>> IT WAS THE FIRST SHOW TO COME ALONG THAT SPEAK TO YOUNG PEOPLE
DIRECTLY. >> I HATE YOU BOTH.
NEVER TALK TO ME AGAIN. >> Reporter: I REMEMBER
THINKING, THIS IS SCANDALOUS. THERE'S PEOPLE MAKING OUT.
>> FAMILIES WATCHED IT TOGETHER. AND IT BECAME A CATALYST FOR
CONVERSATION, BETWEEN THE PARENTS AND THE KIDS.
>> WHO ARE YOU GOING WITH? >> BRANDON.
>> Reporter: BRANDON, OBVIOUSLY, WAS A GOODY TWO SHOES.
THE HARD WORKER ON THE SHOW. WAS JASON PRIESTLY LIKE BRANDON
WALSH? >> THAT WAY, YES.
A BLUE COLLAR FAMILY. AND THE WORK ETHIC KEPT ME ON
THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW. >> SOMEWHERE BRANDON PEOPLE.
AND DYLAN PEOPLE. >> Reporter: PEOPLE ASSUMED I
WAS TEAM DYLAN BECAUSE OF MY NAME.
WAS THERE A COMPETITION? A FRIENDLY COMPETITION BEHIND
THE SCENES? >> NO.
LUKE AND I WERE GREAT FRIENDS FROM MINUTE ONE.
WE'RE STILL GREAT FRIENDS TO THIS DAY.
>> Reporter: DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE EPISODE IN.
>> I DIRECTED 15 EPISODES OF THE SHOW.
ONE OF THE EPISODES I DIRECTED, THE FLASHBACK EPISODE WHEN
BRENDA FOUND AN OLD DIARY AND STARTED TO READ IT.
AND HER IMAGINATION, ALL OF THE CHARACTERS IN THE DIARY WERE
CHARACTERS IN HER LIFE. >> Reporter: IF IT'S ON, YOU'LL
WATCH IT, RIGHT? >> NO.
NOT NOW. I CAN'T HAVE IT AROUND NOW.
NOW, MY 9-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER IS STARTING TO SNIFF AROUND.
>> Reporter: OKAY. >> SHE SAW ME AND IAN ZIERING
TALKING AT A MOVIE PREMIERE. AND SHE GRABBED MY HAND, AND
SAID, HOW DO YOU KNOW THE GUY FROM "SHARKNADO" WHICH I THOUGHT
WAS CUTE. >> Reporter: WHAT ARE YOU UP TO?
>> I FINISHED THE SECOND SEASON OF MY NEW SHOW, "PRIVATE EYES."
SPENT A LOT OF MY TIME BEHIND THE CAM ARE THESE DAYS.
DIRECTING AND PRODUCING. >> Reporter: DO YOU GIVE CREDIT
TO "90210"? >> I DO.
ALL OF THE SKILLS I USE TODAY I LEARNED FROM THAT SHOW AND FROM
AARON SPELLING. A LOT OF THE THINGS HAPPENING IN
MY LIFE TODAY ARE A DIRECT RESULT OF THE TIME I SPENT ON
THAT SHOW. >> Reporter: TIME FOR ME TO BUST
OUT MY MEMORY. VHS TAPE.
>> Reporter: IF I WASN'T HOME AT 4:00, I WOULD TELL MY DAD, SET
UP THE VCR. THE TAPE IS IN THERE.
JUST HIT RECORD. THIS IS A DAY I WASN'T GOING TO
FORGET. >> I DIDN'T WANT ANYONE TO
BREATHE ON IT WRONG. I HAVE THAT TAPE IN A SPECIAL
DRAWER NOW. >> NO BREATHING ON IT WRONG.
IT IS SAFE IN YOUR DRAWER. >> IF YOU PICK IT OUT.
WHERE IS IT? >> ON THE THING, THE LABEL ON
THE VHS TAPE, I WRITE, YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE KELLY AND DYLAN
YEARS. A OR DON'T LOOK FOR 90210
BECAUSE IT'S NOT ON THIS TAPE. AND I TAPED OVER "BIG" ONE OF MY
FAVORITE MOVIES, WITH SOME EPISODES OF 90210.
>> THAT WAS PURE LOVE BACK THERE, RIGHT?
>> MY THANKS TO JASON PRIESTLY AND THE COMFORT DINER HERE IN
NEW YORK, FOR SERVING US OUR PEACH PIT.
