I just bought season four on DVD(came out 4/15) and this box and menu art is absolutely awful. The set also doesn't have any special features. If I didn't love this season so much or get it ten dollars less than the actual price I'd march right back over to Best Buy and ask for my money back. The episodes are great though, I just got done with the first disk and absolutely love seeing the show again. I hated Brooke when the show first aired but now for some reason I'm finding myself enjoying her! Right now she's blackmailing Amanda, and Antonio Sabato JR just showed up as Amanda's not so ex husband Jack. Uh and I forgot that this was the season Jane became a real bitch.

I think I was the only person that loved Brooke from teh getgo. They really ruined her towars teh end though having her go all nutso and pathetic.

Jane wasnt a real bitch in this season. That didnt happen till season 5. She got more of an edge in season 4, but she already had that since season . Season 5 was where I could actually say she's crossing on evil territory, plotting and manipulating like Sydney and Amanda

I hated Brooke when I saw the show originally, but seeing it now in reruns, enjoying Kristen Davis, I do enjoy her Melrose run now... although I have to admit, I didn't think her acting was all that great, especially when she's introduced at the end of season 3.

As I'm watching Melrose now in the middle of its 6th season, I remember why I lost interest. It became such a messy nothingness with Peter, Lexie, and her father... Sam lusting after Dan Gauthier's character... the awful mess of faux-Christine, with Taylor and Nick pulling the strings... Oy, such messiness! And Michael and his latest scheme at opening a clinic. I don't even remember this plot, but it's ridiculous.

I think where they went wrong started in Season 5 when their cast size inflated and the stories were so rushed and plot-driven. At one point in season 5/6, it was just endless marital affairs and "sexy Melrose music" anytime two people were having sex that shouldn't be having sex. Plot, plot, plot and all very rushed, rushed, rushed.

I'll stick it out through the end of season 7, but I see now why I started doing other things (surfing the net, etc.) while the episodes aired originally in '98-'99 instead of paying close attention to the show.

I didn't think KD was that bad. Her best acting moment on the show was when she found out Hayley died and when she's about to die in the pool.

Speaking of bad actors, Andrew Shue(Billy) was just plain awful! Uh, I remember during his last season you could tell he wasn't even trying to act.

I believe Andrew Shue was the last-moment replacement when an actor they hired gained a bit of weight. I guess they were looking for someone who looks great, without caring for his acting skills.

Amanda :wub: Alison :wub: Sydney :wub: Kimberly :wub:

    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him. 
    • I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.
    • Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much. 
    •   Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year. 
    • Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go. 
    • Good morning, boys!  I figured that it was time that our Gio was introduced into the hotness thread

    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
