It looks like the fabulous 'BEVERLEY HILLS 90210' has narrowly beaten out the dodgy spin-off 'Melrose Place'. I think it is fitting that the original series take out the title on this one. Besides, if you haven't revisited them lately we're pretty sure it would be no contest as Melrose was woefully bad while 90210 was still a great relevant drama. Well done 'Bevvers'

Hey look - Andrew Shue just got married! The lucky lady who married 'Billy' on Saturday is Amy Robach, an anchor at the TODAY show. Congrats Andrew.

Melrose Place - you seriously don't want to live there.

OK - I am the queen of the crap TV review obviously. I have just sat through the first two episodes of the new Melrose Place and I hope you appreciate the lengths I go to for this blog!! Mind you it was not nearly as BAD as the original although strikingly similar in tone. Sydney and Michael are both back and both still evil. The first episode starts with the murder of Sydney who is found stabbed and floating in the Melrose Place pool no less. If you're like me you'd be thinking it was hardly worth the cameo credit but never fear Syd is a permanent fixture thanks to the flashbacks which seem to be troubling the rest of the residents. The set up is that we are left to wonder who killed Syd as everyone seems to have a motive.

I must say that compared to 'The Beautiful Life' the acting to brilliant, which is to say that it is fine. The cast is in fact very appealing and sassy but I think I personally have moved on from the drama and over the top storylines that characterise Melrose Place. It has the advantage of being a very slick production but I don't think I'll be worried if I miss an episode. I'm sure the 20 somethings will adore it and I hope it goes well if only for the sake of seeing Heather Locklear back where she belongs.

new 'melrose'...not so much!

Amanda Won't Be Back

Heather Locklear has demanded $100,000 per episode for the new Melrose Place and it looks like she has priced herself right out of the running. Is it even possible to have a Melrose Place without Amanda? And seriously, it was a bad show. We have done extensive research here at Stars Hollow and discovered that while the original 90210 holds up well to viewing in the new millennium, Melrose not so much. We sat through some excruciating episodes and were truly amazed that we had loved it the first time around. 90210 was still a compelling, relevant and fun show while Melrose, quite frankly, sucked. Now I know there will be those of you who will be up in arms but have you re-watched it recently?? Talk to me when you have.
