MELR0210 #83 90210's "Parental Guidance Recommended" & Melrose Place's "Non-Sexual Healing"
Added 2025-03-13 10:00:12 +0000 UTCIt's another wild time on our sexy, sunny 1990's TV recap show, MELR0210!
First up on Beverly Hills, 90210, the Daddy Wars reach new heights in "Parental Guidance Recommended." Originally airing back on February 3, 1993, this episode features Jim Walsh trying to save Dylan's trust from Jack by appealing to Dylan's kooky mom, Andrea going to a not-exciting Yale luncheon, Steve and David making small moves in the record industry, Brenda fantasizing about Dylan and Kelly, and Brandon going on a spending spree with his sky-high gambling winnings!
Then cross-town on Melrose Place, it's the wild-ass episode, "Non-Sexual Healing." Premiering October 10, 1994, this episode has Palmer Woodward leaving one of the funniest VHS goodbyes of all time, Billy wasting no time starting to date he and Alison's new D&D assistant, Michael so easily duping Sydney into divorce using his greasy sex appeal, and Jake dramatically hitting the road on his bike!
MELR0210 is a WHM podcast where the guys blissfully stroll through the Beverly Hills, 90210 and Melrose Place timelines. The TV episodes covered will run in broadcast order unless otherwise specified.

We have another 90210-Sam Levinson connection popped up this episode. The character Tedro is also the name of the main antagonist from Sam's show The Idol. Sam must have really loved 90210 growing up.

2025-03-14 19:38:08 +0000 UTCI recently watched the Roy Scheider film The Seven-Ups. (Really good '70s NYC crime movie with an amazing car chase.) And halfway through we learn that one of Roy's cops is named MINGO. So I had to shout MINGO in the Billy voice every time he was on screen for the rest of the movie.

2025-03-14 17:01:28 +0000 UTCThe funny part about that is we do use the metric system in America. Just not the public. Engineers, computer programmers, everybody in a professional position uses it for simplicity and necessity.
Ray
2025-03-14 17:00:56 +0000 UTCJust to quickly comment on Steve asking wether Jane was german: The metric system is actually more widely used than you might think. It has been adapted by almost the entirety of the earth. There is only a small number of backwards countries that for some unknown reason use a version of the imperial system, like the United Kingdom and the United States of America.

2025-03-13 17:51:03 +0000 UTCPepe's is great, but may I recommend Modern as my top tier New Haven pizza location? You'll have to go to New Haven - it hasn't franchised like Pepe or Sally's - but it's worth the wait to get in.

2025-03-13 16:54:13 +0000 UTCAny “Severance” viewers here? Man, I just want Jason Statham to give Lumon Corp. the full ‘Beekeeper’ treatment. They try messing with his head, and he just smirks, “I’ll give your head a severance—know what I mean?” Then he proceeds to wreck everyone, dismantle the entire operation, and leave the place in flames.

2025-03-13 16:34:25 +0000 UTCI wonder...with Jack and Jim's fighting over Dylan's trust...can we call the trust the Daddy Tariff?

2025-03-13 16:11:15 +0000 UTCI have a peaceful relationship with the divorced dad of my stepdurter, but sometimes I hear about what my wife had to put up with that first marriage, and I think...I could win a Daddy war. If necessary.

2025-03-13 13:22:01 +0000 UTCAndrew, I’ll vouch for the Yonkers Frank Pepe’s. It seems like the same quality as the Danbury one. Worth your time, but it gets pretty busy and has shitty parking, so plan ahead.
