CW to Remake Melrose Place

OMG.

They can’t be serious.

But they are.

The CW and CBS Paramount are teaming up to remake Melrose Place.

Is Hollywood just completely out of ideas?

Should we expect a Friends remake in a few years, too? This is ER‘s last season, right? Shouldn’t we start brainstorming the remake already?

  • I take that back…cuz Aaron Spelling’s dead.

    Oh, but it IS cute that Sidney, the redhead in the center, and Matt, the guy who played the gay neighbor, have been married since the show ended and have like 3 kids together. God…I watched this show when I should’ve been getting laid…

  • I loved loved LOVED the amazing over the top theatrics of it, they should bring it back but they need to get the full on quirky stupidity of Melrose of old mixed with Sunset Beach, now that would be tv!

    They haven’t picked up the new 90210 over here in the UK yet – is it that bad?

  • I used to watch this crap until it got crazy… Psycho bitches and bombs in the apartment swimming pool.

    And you know they’re gonna have to be all politically correct and make a black version of Melrose Place for BET….. like Leroy’s Crib.

  • Barf. I agree… all sorts of art forms have lost any creativity and ideas… Its probably because all the dead-headed, money-grubbing people all have the jobs, and the creative people are all poor and scraping by on their imagination.

    I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad…

  • but without kimberly whipping off her wig every episode it won’t be the same. ah, memories….

  • Oh look! Another remake! The imagination displayed in Hollywood today never fails to intrigue me. I used to enjoy the original “Melrose Place” — typical cheesy Spelling production characteristics and all. However, there’s so many other great ideas out there for new TV shows that I think we’d all like to see. I think I’m ready to start “The Campaign to Eliminate Hollywood Rehash!”

  • Oddly enough, most of these outfits are quasi-back in style too. It’s as if all pop culture has run out of ideas and our bleak world and lack of imagination has us being nostalgic about … last decade …

  • THEY CAN’T! Melrose Place, just like 90210 should have been, is SACRED.

    They will never find anyone to fill in the shoes of the oh-so-devious Michael Mancini! This is not right. It just plain is not right.
