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.

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.

What can you say about Melrose Place? I first saw it when it was still on air. At the time I was only a teenager, but I remember absolutely loving the hell out of it for one simple reason: The craziness never ended! Almost every episode ended with such a cliffhanger that you couldn't help but watch the next episode. It was like a drug. You just needed to know what happened each time. Yes, many of the lines were cheesy and sometimes the acting could've been better, but the show worked. People from all over the globe were watching it and everyone loved to talk about what was happening on it. Personally, I'll never forget some of those conversations. There were times when I almost gave up on it, but just when you thought you were done with it, they pulled you back in. One thing is for sure: The '90s would not have been the same without Melrose Place.

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 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.
