Melrose Place

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.

From the beginning in 1992, to the end in 1999, I watched "Melrose Place" every week. I grew up with these people...they were like my family! When they laughed, I laughed. When they cried, I cried. Every year at the season finale, I would say at the end, "I can't wait until September!!".

I don't care what people say, "Melrose" became my favorite show. I actually looked forward to Mondays! Lots of my friends said, "Who cares?" when I told them "Melrose" was going off the air. But I CARED!!! The only thing that made me happy about the series finale was that Amanda and Peter were finally together again, and Eve ended up in jail again. Not a day goes by that I don't wish my favorite show in the entire world was still on. PLEASE!!!!!!!!, let there be a spin-off, or a "Melrose: The Movie"!!!!!

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.

Melrose Place was another huge success in Russia when it first appeared there many years ago. After that, it had many successful repeated runs in various Russian TV-channels. Why such a great popularity? Due to several reasons. First, the excellent choice of actors. Heather Locklear, Alyssa Mylano, Daphna Zuniga, all others are a great and very precise shot. They play their often malicious and cruel heroes with a surgical accuracy and with such persuasion that a mere serial becomes a real serious drama. All the events are another big plus. We are thrilled and attracted by the endless string of high-voltage events, all those slanders, kills, lies, love relations, fires and fights going on there. The serial is never boring. You see so many characters there and you know them all. And then, this is a true detective story. I have counted no less than 10 people killed there! And the marvelous performances of Marcia Cross or any other actor! Well, this is not a trivial small serial. No, this one is mature, strong and very exciting work.

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.
