Members JamesF Posted March 20, 2009 Members Share Posted March 20, 2009 It was complete trash but a very entertaining show, especially given the strange mix of cast and crew. Terry Louise Fisher, Schumacher, Spelling. Robin Strasser and Constance Towers both had guest roles. It works well as a mini-series but I don't know how they'd have spun it out into a full season. I think characters like Joy would have had to have been watered down quite considerably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted March 21, 2009 Members Share Posted March 21, 2009 Didn't watch it, but I remember it. I always wanted to catch the jail scene with Robin Strasser playing an over-the-hill prostitute. I'd read about that in one of the soap rags, they praised her work. Go head LHB, she was lookin some kinda good in that one piece. And what can be said about the beautiful Jennifer Beals, she looks even better now. Tuesday Knight? Why not Thursday Ahfternoon? She sure was wearing a lot of fabric. Those opening credits are what KL's should have been like in its final season instead of that loud brassy arrangement. I feel like this is the very early '90s kind of show KL was trying to be in its later seasons, it would have worked if Paige and company were the leads... not a show for the Karen/Mac/Val/Gary set.

Members ReddFoxx Posted March 22, 2009 Members Share Posted March 22, 2009 I never saw it, but I was just reading about it in this television encyclopedia I have. It sounded interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aaron Posted March 24, 2009 Members Share Posted March 24, 2009 This show, along with Second Chances (starring Connie Selleca, Megan Follows and Jennifer Lopez in a supporting role) were sort of the last gasp of the classic nighttime soaps. I remember LOVING 2000 Malibu Road so much... but I can tell you, it really didn't age well. You can get a full set from ioffer.com. The show's VERY campy and OTT, so if that's your thing, you'll love it. As I recall, the show got good ratings, but it was one of those shows affected by the earthquake. (I think Second Chances was, too...) The production company decided it wasn't worth the money to rebuild all the sets. I might be remembering it wrong, but for some reason that's always stuck with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JamesF Posted March 26, 2009 Members Share Posted March 26, 2009 I rewatched the first episode the other night after this thread reminded me about the show. What a campfest. Robin Strasser as Clapped Out Prostitute: I just thought you were a whore! I didn't realise you were a murdering whore. Lisa Hartman: I didn't kill anybody. Robin Strasser: Too bad because they're going to fry you. They're going to fry you for sure! I'd love to know how this show would have progressed if it had been picked up for a season.

Members ReddFoxx Posted March 28, 2009 Members Share Posted March 28, 2009 Second Chances was canned because the sets were destroyed, but 2000 Malibu Road was supposed to be renewed, but there was a dispute over the license fees, so it didn't come back.

Members KMan101 Posted March 30, 2009 Members Share Posted March 30, 2009 I had heard of the show but never really ever looked into it. I agree that it was very Knots Landing-esque, especially the opening credits. And how can you not enjoy the cast? If the recap was any indication, it seemed like a REALLY campy soap opera. Too bad it wasn't renenewed like it was supposed to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OneCharmingBastard Posted April 4, 2009 Members Share Posted April 4, 2009 the last best hope for the nighttime soap was "2000MBR" - until "Housewives" over a decade later - but for six weeks, it was glorious, big-rated fun. the scoop I remember is that Drew wanted more $$, and Aaron Spelling didn't want to pony up.

Members BingCherry Posted May 14, 2012 Members Share Posted May 14, 2012 Some awesome person managed to put up the complete run on YouTube and it is quite a show to watch. Tuesday Knight is the obvious standout amongst this cast and I can only imagine the great Joy stories that we would have gotten. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAH1VidIXo4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7X7Rme6sL4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
