Dr. 90210

Premiering in 2004, Dr. 90210 transformed reality television by merging clinical precision with the glossy allure of Beverly Hills. While earlier medical shows focused on high-stakes emergency rooms, this E! staple centered on the lucrative world of cosmetic surgery, led by the charismatic Dr. Robert Rey. The series did more than document procedures; it humanized surgeons and their families, creating a hybrid genre of medical documentary and lifestyle soap opera. Its legacy remains significant, as it pioneered the makeover obsession of the early 2000s and paved the way for modern hits like Botched. By demystifying the operating table, it permanently shifted public perception regarding aesthetic enhancement.
