  • Blog Spotlight: Andrew Shue Bashes The Melrose Place Remake

    In high school I was late jumping on the Melrose Place bus. Because really I was more concerned about Beverly Hills 90210. And besides I don't think we even got Melrose Place on a Canadian channel to begin with. But… more

  • The infamous apartment building that had everyone addicted - the true definitive show of the 90s! The bed-hopping, the back-stabbing, the bitch-fights - "Melrose" had it all with an obsessive audience to prove it.moreless

    Billy. Alison. Jake. Jo. Matt. Michael. Jane. Sydney. Kimberly. And of course, Amanda. Between 1993 and 1997, "Melrose" was a national addiction - you couldn't look in any direction without seeing it on the cover of magazines, talked about on television, or plastered across billboards. One apartment building, rotating residents, and countless memorable moments with sex, drugs, catfights, affairs, weddings, arson, blackmail, murder - and much more. It had it all, and it set the bar for prime-time dramas (none of which have come close to being in the same league as "Melrose"). Shows like "Desperate Housewives" and "The O.C." cannot compete, no matter how hard they try - and no show will ever be able to. While most series hit slumps in creativity, "Melrose" began slow in its first season, gaining much steam in the second, and became a power-house show in the third and fourth. But like all shows, it did go downhill - and in 1999, its seventh year, the show was finally cancelled. Yet years later everyone still remembers the residents of this memorbale apartment complex.moreless

    I have followed this show for SO long lol and it's almost unbelievable that it has finally ended. I enjoyed this for many many years but in the end I was kind of sick and tired of all the different affairs, lies and conspirations. Kind of irked me that none of their relationships seemed real in the end. But hey I'm glad Amanda and Peter got their happy ending and that Megan and Ryan finally realized that they are meant to be. Michael my bad boy hahaha I'll never forget him - he always gave me a good laugh and a reason to slap him.
    The Jane and Kyle thing was not the best match if you ask me - Kyle should have stayed with Taylor my all time favorite tramp lol I feel sorry for Eve - that poor girl just never found true happiness and I don't like Peter for letting her go like that.
    Anyway it was about time this ended but it was great as long as it lasted.moreless

    I was a fan of the show since it began. I remember that show started in the summer of 1992, when I was eleven years old and the summer between fifth grade in grade school and about to enter sixth grade in middle school. I was eighteen years old and a senior in high school, when the show ended in the spring of 1999. I remember when the show premiered at the same time when "Knots Landing" a spin-off of "Dallas", kicked off the show's fourteenth and final season. That show is kind of like "Knots Landing". They both have the same thing in common vixens, catfights, romance, weddings, death, and a kidnapping.moreless

    Even though I'm halfway through the third season, I am hooked. There is so much drama and I wish the new show will last as long as this one. Things got off to a slow start, but once Michael started having affairs and Amanda started meddling in everyone's life, and eventually Sydney causing trouble, it got a lot better. There were some story lines that I found boring, like Billy and Alison dating, but the rest of the stories are so ridiculous, that they make the show worth watching.
    It's a better version of 90210 after college, and if you like the drama on 90210, you'd probably enjoy MP.

    And if anyone knows where i can find the video for Wayne's World visits Melrose Place, i'd really like to see that.moreless

    The show I would never miss growing up. I loved all the twists and turns ever week because the they always seemed to be trying to outdo themselves. Sure a lot of the stuff was over the top, but that's what made it great entertainment.

    Have to say my favorite character was Sydney. She just kept getting herself into one bad situation after another, but you couldn't help feeling sorry for her sometimes. The show really started to slack off a bit when they stopped pairing Sydney and Michael together. Those two were a laugh riot every week.

    Nothing could top the 3rd season finale with Kimberly blowing up the apartment complex. That was great stuff.moreless
