What follows is the actual transcript of my texting session with JMTIV: Me (waking JMTIV up because I am three hours ahead of him): Breaking news! Laura Leighton in at Melrose Place. JMTIV (hours later): Now we have to watch. (editor’s note: Earlier this year we vowed not to watch, a decision we felt really [...]

Alithun, I love you. I miss you when you’re not around.

Hell has frozen over: Ashlee Simpson is on Melrose Place. My friend, JMT, said it best when he texted: “Not as revolting as Mischa (Barton), but still bad idea jeans? Let’s be honest…do we really want to see her in the pool or at Shooters?” No, no we don’t. I also don’t want to see her a) [...]
How the Mancini stole Christmas
Posted in Holiday Ideas, Melrose Memories on December 20, 2008 | 6 Comments »
Like most people from my generation, I’m sure that I learned all of my Christmas morals from Aaron Spelling serials. When I nailed a half court shot at a basketball game, I donated my winnings to the Alvarado Street After School Care Program. Or when I was working at a posh boutique, I invited the kindly [...]
Melrose on DVD, Season 2, Part 2: Enter Sydney
Posted in Melrose Memories, Nostalgia on March 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’ll be the first to admit that I watched Melrose Placefrom the jump. I was just at that age when I would eat what ever Aaron Spelling would feed me. Looking back, it’s hard for me to believe that Jake Hansen, the knight in white satin armor, began his humble Spelling existence as Jackie Taylor’s [...]
One Crown to unite them all

Last time on Crowned: Team Erica Kane cheated elimination even though Patty threw up in both a box and a saucepan, Hollis and Gina came out on top again even though Gina scored a foot massage from her man on the couch and Ada and Christan were sent home due to their lack of interviewing [...]
Melrose on DVD: Season 2, Part 1 or “Alithun, I love you”
Posted in Melrose Memories, Nostalgia on January 21, 2008 | 3 Comments »
For Christmas, my bff got me Melrose Place Season 2 on DVD. I also have Melrose Place, Season 1, but I think Season 2 is blog-worthy since it’s really the beginning of “Classic MP” which runs until about the end of Season 4. Gone are the characters that didn’t really work (Sandy & Rhonda), reoccurring [...]
Merry Melrose Christmas
Posted in Holiday Ideas, Melrose Memories, Nostalgia on December 4, 2007 | 3 Comments »
It’s such a primetime cliche for TV shows to pattern their Christmas episodes after A Christmas Carol or It’s a Wonderful Life. Sometimes these episodes are brilliant, other times they are disasters (the 90210 X-Mas Bus Accident, anyone?) For the holidays, I give you Amanda Woodward shutting down a (potluck!) company Christmas luncheon, blowing off the sister [...]
Dr. Marlena Evans: Could it be…Satan?
Posted in Days of Our Lives, Melrose Memories, Nostalgia on October 29, 2007 | 5 Comments »
In honor of Halloween, Soapnet decided to show three episodes of the classic and infamous “Marlena possession” storyline. I remember watching this storyline back in the day. I’ll be honest: I didn’t think very much of James E. Reilly then. I still think he’s a hack writer, but this story and “Buried Alive” are like [...]

We start off back [...]
Nobody’s Home; Nobody Cares

I remember when Sex & the City first started, I was excited because I love me some SJP, but I am also a huge Kristin Davis fan. Granted, I only knew her from her (short-lived) arc on Melrose Place, but her Brooke was lightning in a bottle. My favorite character was Amanda meaning that I [...]
