Comments on: Melrose . . . Coming Soon To The CW? http://www.theprimetimedish.com/2008/10/29/melrose-coming-soon-to-the-cw/ Ranting And Raving About Primetime TV Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:53:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: JS26 http://www.theprimetimedish.com/2008/10/29/melrose-coming-soon-to-the-cw/comment-page-1/#comment-6208 JS26 Thu, 30 Oct 2008 03:07:08 +0000 http://www.theprimetimedish.com/?p=2126#comment-6208 I'm hesitant to judge this decision. The CW is a struggling network with a possible total failure in the future. If remakes of shows such as 90210 and MP can help to save this network, I support it. However, those shows are different. 90210 has always been the stronger brand. MP almost didn't make it. If it hadn't been for Heather Locklear, the show wouldn't have survived. So will Locklear return to anchor this new show? If so, the new version might make it. However, even though I was a fan of both original shows, I will not tune in for the new MP (with or without Locklear). The characters of MP didn't capture my heart. They were sassy, fun, sexy, and exciting - but not lovable. Nothing like the iconic and unforgettable characters of the original BH 90210. So I don't expect to watch the new show if it makes it to pilot. I do believe that the return of the ultimate bitch from hell - Amanda - will be absolutely necessary to anchor this new program. Jane, Billy, Michael, or Allison just won't cut it in my opinion. So producers, start talking to (or begging) Locklear. I’m hesitant to judge this decision.

I think the bigwigs don't know when to quit. Just because one show does 'ok', they want to saturate the airwaves, ok, tv waves, with like style shows, or remakes. Too much I say! If they want to pour millions into cast salaries and advertising, give us something different, unique, never been done before. 90210 comes on after House here, so I watch it more because of that, I don't know if I would go looking for it otherwise. I am not complaining, the show is , as I said, 'ok', but I wouldn't shed a tear if it is cancelled. Nooooo to Melrose remake! I think the bigwigs don’t know when to quit.
