    "Perfect"
    By hainesg324, Oct 26, 2011 Report Abuse
    This is what makes me love Beverly Hills 90210 so much - the fact that all the friends care so much about one another that they would risk not going to graduation and doing summer school for another one of them and somehow managing to get the rest of the school to cooperate and walk out of finals to protest.
    I don't think the school board or teachers could be very good if they could not stop the pupils walking out or then changing their mind just because of a protest although I'm not complaining - I wanted Donna to graduate with the rest.moreless

    "Great"

    This may be a somewhat cheesy episode, but in many ways it is classic 90210. But, I did like the way they explained both sides of the walkout and what it might have done to the individual student careers. Although, the cockiness of Andrea and Brandon at the hearing was unrealistic.
    The standout of this episode, as she was in all her appearances, was Kathy Cannon, Felice Martin. She is an example of what a fine actor can do with a smaller part. Her villainous snarls and tirades made her the one we all loved to hate.

    • Goof: Andrea says she had to study hard to beat Joey Wong for valedictorian. However, when the names are called alphabetically during the ceremony, there is no Joey Wong. If there were, he would have been between Brenda Walsh and Andrea Zuckerman. Edit

    • "Donna Martin Graduates!" is possibly the most famous line in all of Beverly Hills 90210 history. To this day, you can purchase a "Donna Martin Graduates" tee shirt online or in vintage clothing stores. Edit
