One of the best things about living in Canada — aside from the free health care and low crime rate — is TVtropolis. Every day, TVtropolis allows this TV Addict to re-live some of the shows that are pretty much responsible for turning me into a self-proclaimed TV Addict. BEVERLY HILLS 90210, FRIENDS, SEINFELD, FRASIER, GRACE UNDER FIRE — TVtropolis has it all, with more of your favorites on the way.
Starting this Fall, Tiffani Amber-Thiessen will make her long-awaited appearance on BEVERLY HILLS 90210 when Valerie Malone moves into the Walsh house. Yes, you heard it hear first. TVtropolis has announced that come September 2007, the network will not only give us season five of BEVERLY HILLS 90210, we’ll also get seasons six through eight. So get ready for Brandon and Kelly’s much anticipated hook-up, Dylan’s short-lived marriage to a mob boss’ daughter, and of course Donna finally losing her you know what.
Also joining the TVtropolis line-up is FAMILY GUY, FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR and this TV Addict’s long awaited shot at fame and fortune, when he guest stars on the hit game-show INSIDE THE BOX. Stay Tuned…
