Melrose Place

I don't understand why a tv-series about all the worst calamities can be so pleasing. We start watching it and we can't stop anymore. It's always dramatic and intense.

The show is about a group of Melrose Place's residents, and all the exaggerated situations that happen with them. Most of the things couldn't happen in real life, at least not with this frequency, but is happening with this group all the time.

Now that it's over, I can choose to watch the 1994's season or the 1998's. I prefer the first, the cast had some changes and a lot of the original one had gone.

I enjoy watching it, it's not a passion like the one I have for Friends, but if I have nothing better to do, and I know that it's on television, even a repeated one, I have to watch it.

I remember how that I loved this show I never missed an episode! If I couldn't watch it right then and I had to be gone I recorded it. This was the best show to air on the FOX network. "Melrose Place" was situated in Los Angeles it would always be focussing on twenty-somethings who lived and loved in the garden apartment complex at 4616 Melrose Place. This series was so well liked because something was always going on in the characters daily life. The beautiful vixens were the reasons I also watched you name it you had them Heather Locklear was great as the beautiful but tough ad executive Amanda and Marcia Cross was great as the beautiful but crazy Kimberly. If those two tough beautiful vixens didn't thrill you then you had Josie Bissett, Kristin Davis, Brooke Langton, Laura Leighton, Kelly Rutherford, Courtney Thorne-Smith, Jamie Luner, Alyssa Milano, and Lisa Rinna. Now talk about a man enjoying his viewing and believe me you got treated to many scenes with those vixens doing many things you name it love scenes, affairs, sexy lingerie, accidents, bound and gagged scenes never was a dull moment present with these vixens. In fact so much bed changing and sleeping around that when the show ended in 1999 just about every female character had slept with most male characters! Speaking of the male characters great performances were given by Thomas Calabro and Jack Wagner both were great as good young doctors yet cunning and deceptive. Also Grant Show (Jake) was enjoyable as a rugged motorcycle mechanic plus Andrew Shue was good as an aspiring writer (Billy). This series became a traditional soap that always had the high drama and excitement that kept you glued to the TV. I hope some network picks "Melrose Place" up and shows the reruns from start to finish, I thought that back in 1998 that The E! Network showed reruns late at night but they don't now I hope that Melrose returns! Enough said even if you haven't watched you will want to and if your like me you will want to watch it all over from season 1 to the finish "Melrose Place" was just that good.

I loved Melrose Place. I wish it would make a comeback now that Heather and Jack are really dating now. That show still had so much life in it and I am surprised that even Beverly Hills 90210 lasted like one more year after melrose place and I never watched that show because I feel the actors on that show were not as good or as interesting as the Melrose Place characters. This show was more like an adult show than 90210 was, it dealt more with adult situations no kiddie high school crap. My favorite male actors on the show were the guys that played Peter, Micheal, Craig, kyle, jake, and of course the cute hunk billy babe. Please do a reuion show soon I want to see what has happened to all the actors and how they look now of course.

This is another drama by Speiling that defined the 90s, unlike 90210 this focused on young adults and the themes wore more mature compared to it's sibling, not as popular as Beverly Hills this was as long lasting and influential A decent view for the nostalgic.

Melrose Place ain't no Emmy winner but it sure is addictive. It's hard to resist the temptation to tune in daily to follow the absurd relationship dramas of this crew of snotty millionaires. In many instances it's just hilarious, for instance crazy Kimberley committing Peter to a mental institute before administering shock therapy and almost a lobotomy (hahahahaha), or Michael's wedding vows to Jane on their second wedding, "Jane you were my first wife, my favourite wife and I hope to god my last wife." The outrageous antics and schemes to win over lovers combined with the fact that every second character seems to be a murderer or a criminal of some sort, it is a wonder that they are not all in jail!

As rich and successful as they are, is this not the unluckiest group of people on television? (well except for the Days of Our Lives cast who all have brain implants and amnesia). I mean they've all been cheated on, dumped, married 4-5 times, been shot, run over, raped, sued, molested, paralysed, lobotimised, burnt, blinded, drowned, blown up, assaulted, tossed out windows, buried alive, stalked by psycho lovers, involved in war; gone bankrupt; suffered from drug addictions, impotency and alcoholism; had cancer, miscarriages, tumours, brain surgery, abusive parents, car wrecks and helicopter crashes just to name a few of the hardships inflicted upon these poor sods. You couldn't pay me to move into Melrose Place, that apartment block is the kiss of death. Seems to be quite the hangout for psychopathic freaks. The newspaper advertisment must read "Melrose Place Tenant Wanted: Must be unbalanced and of a psychotic nature, prone to fits of violence including murder and arson. Must also exhibit strong desire to destroy the lives of everyone you through infliction of emotional pain and suffering. Dodgy, unstable doctors preferred."

Granted, it's a silly show, but it's also the kind of program that makes you skip class so you can use the pay phone in the school lobby to ring home and remind your mum to tape it at 10 (yes I have done that). Can't help myself, I love it and recommend it to anyone looking for a good laugh and some light hearted entertainment.
