In all fairness, the first few eps sucked. I’m an old school Melrose fan and really only tuned in for Laura Leighton who came back to resume her role of Sydney Andrews.

For those old school fans, it does get great…virtually to the point of Melrose seasons 2-4. Episode 12, the best so far of the season. Laura Leighton as Sydney, Thomas Calabro as Michael, Josie Bissett as Sydney, Daphne Zuniga as Jo and Heather Locklear as Amanda have all made appearences.

@Jerome: IO called “fail” on Melrose the moment it was announced, and “V” was quite obviously doomed, which was obvious just from watching its dreadful, dreadful first two episodes.

Maybe networks will finally get the message that lame revivals and remakes are not a good idea.

And to think, this time last year they were axing Pushing Daisies and Eli Stone. What a waste.

Is ch10 ever going to show Melrose Place this summer?? Or not. I have seen the first 10 episodes which are airing in america & I like it. Now that Amanda is back it should get interesting.

There’s no need for Heather to feel any pressure – she’s only signed on (and I’m sure has been paid quite handsomely, but I doubt CW could afford her as a regular cast member) for a limited number of episodes and hasn’t become
a full time cast member,.

If the show is cancelled, she has nothing to worry about. Ten would (and should) only screen this on a 3rd channel, when they pull their fingers out and set one up.

14% is a healthy increase. The buzz from on-the-ground here in the US is extremely positive. DVR figures for the episode have broken non-commercial network records. Expect a full season 1 pick-up & a season 2 re-up announcement within the fortnight.

the big news from the US is V’s ratings. huge drops from the big premier. will probably be getting axable figs next week, and god knows how low it will be after the 3.5month gap between ep 4&5. another slap to the hitless 2009/10 US season.

TEN could always screen it on ONE, since being bitchy can be a sport, right?

Melrose Place is quite good, I actually prefer it to Season 2 of 90210 (which is getting real bad, and the actors all look as old as the Melrose residents).
The CW should not be dropping the axe just yet. I want to see how it goes after episode 13 when the change in storyline occurs.
I didn’t watch much of the original series, so the return of the older characters, even though I know of them, I dont know their full past, so it doesnt matter if they visit for me.

IMO these will be on TEN2 when TEN launches it’s 3rd channel next year.

Still such poor ratings? Is the CW a FTA in the States, or a cable show? If FTA, they are dismal ratings regardless of the little spike.
