It began as a spin-off of Beverly Hills, 90210, but this summer replacement quickly established its own unique identity. The connection is creator Darren Star and the character of Jake (Grant Show), who had a fling with Kelly (Jennie Garth) on 90210. In the pilot, she

High Bandwidth | Low Bandwidth | stops by 4616 Melrose to pay a visit (and returns for two more episodes). Jake's neighbors comprise of Alison (Courtney Thorne-Smith), Rhonda (Vanessa Williams), Sandy (Amy Locane), Matt (Doug Savant), and married couple Michael (Thomas Calabro) and Jane (Josie Bissett). When Alison's roommate runs out on her, she takes in Billy (Andrew Shue) to cover the rent. Just as 90210 had the Peach Pit, the twentysomethings of Melrose gather at Shooters, where aspiring actress Sandy waits tables. Her roommate Rhonda teaches aerobics. Other professions include mechanic (Jake), receptionist (Alison), social worker (Matt), doctor (Michael), designer (Jane), and writer (Billy). Midway through the season, photographer Jo (Daphne Zuniga) and ad exec Amanda ('special guest' Heather Locklear) arrive to shake things up. What had been a program about work and life issues takes a darker turn as Michael gives in to temptation and Amanda sets out to ruin Alison's career--and her relationship with Billy.
Other troublemakers are waiting in the wings, like Michael's colleague Kimberly (Marcia Cross) and Jane's sister Sydney (Laura Leighton). Both return to stay in the second year. Melrose Place ran for seven increasingly soapy seasons and spawned the short-lived Models, Inc.. Afterwards, Thorne-Smith moved on to Ally McBeal and According to Jim, while Savant and Cross would eventually segue to Desperate Housewives. Other actors had a shorter stay at the infamous West Hollywood apartment complex-- notably, Locane, who makes her exit in the 13th episode ('Dreams Come True') and Williams, who makes hers in the 32nd (two-part season finale 'Suspicious Minds'). --Kathleen C.

Rating:  - Bring on the drama.
Melrose Place - The Complete First Season started off light and simple but halfway through the season, Heather Locklear was brought in and the show was the never the same. The writers decided to spice up the show and make it into a steamy soap opera and boy that worked! I loved this show, can't believe my parents let me watch this delicious trash when I was barely out of grade school. Gotta buy season 1, I highly recommend this guilty pleasure, enjoy!
Rating: - Don't tell me I can't talk about Brooke now
"Melrose Place" is pure '90s excitement! Do you remember this super-cool 90210 spin-off? I sure do. I loved this show. Although, like many fans I didn't start watching until the mid-second season. When I used to watch repeats of the first season I never really enjoyed it. Because it was so different from the rest of the series (it's sorta like the difference between the first season of "The Facts of Life" compared to the rest of that series.) There were different characters and the stories were ... Read More
Rating: - One of the best shows!
This is one of the best drama TV shows on DVD. Its about time they released it on DVD.
Rating: - A MUST HAVE!
This show debuted just as I was hitting my mid teens and I was imediatly hooked! Yes, it was Beverly Hills 90210 that got me interested, but as soon as Amanda, Sydney, then Kimberly entered the picture, I forgot about 90210. 90210 could not top the cliff hangers that Melrose did. Some a little more "out there" than others, but somehow the curiosity was always there for the next week. With very little TV shows worth watching these days, it's great to watch my Melrose Place once again.
Rating:  - Some things never change...
I remember being 12 years old and watching Melrose Place in the other room, just hoping my mother wouldn't catch me. Since it took so long to come to DVD, I could never really remember why I felt that the viewing had to be so clandestine, only that it was a matter of the utmost importance. Finally, more than a decade later, Melrose Place is on DVD and I have my answer. I was way too young to be watching a show about secret abortions, office romances, gay bashing, and stalkers. But still, 15 years ... Read More
