MELR0210 #79 90210's "It's a Totally Happening Life" & Melrose Place's "I Am Curious Melrose"
Added 2024-11-29 11:00:08 +0000 UTCIt's our monthly flashback to sexy, sunny Los Angeles in the 1990s on MELR0210 and we're halfway to Christmas here!
First up on Beverly Hills, 90210, it's the idiotic Christmas episode, "It's a Totally Happening Life." Originally airing on December 16, 1992, this episode is structured around two angels who are telling this week's story a la It's a Wonderful Life, and it's easily one of the worst things this show ever did!
Then, across the way on Melrose Place, we're talking about the season three premiere, the outrageously titled, "I Am Curious Melrose." Premiering the evening of September 12, 1994, this episode has Jake rescuing the mysterious Brittany while at sea, Alison's father trying to family annihilate in San Francisco, and Kimberly hilariously framing Sidney for attempted murder!
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.

2024-12-18 02:38:56 +0000 UTCI believe it was in this episode in which Eric said my new favorite quote “Where there [are] numbers, there is crime.” This is literally me whenever I look at my 401k and/or IRA and can’t figure out what it means, despite several different financial advisors explaining it to me.

2024-12-01 15:20:58 +0000 UTCSo, the implication of the 90210 episode's ending is that every time a bell rings, an angel gets his nut?

2024-11-30 11:57:55 +0000 UTCI have to assume this 90210 episode was un-airable without all the angel garbage but I'd love to see someone cut the episode to exclude them and all the timeline jumbling. If it happened, I feel like it'd be a 25 minute episode.

2024-11-30 09:38:52 +0000 UTCThis is hard to admit, but I owned and wore the all blue cross colors outfit david is wearing towards the beginning of the episode around 92 93ish... it was an unexpected dagger of icy shame that pierced me as soon as I saw it 😂 it ruled. Also: if you think this is their worst idea... wait until their writers discover the plot device of dreams... and Dylans screenplay 😂

2024-11-29 16:25:31 +0000 UTCOh, to have seen Cabin's eye twitch when he saw the title of the Melrose ep...

2024-11-29 15:36:29 +0000 UTCEven by the standards of primetime soap operas, Kathy Ireland is an otherworldly bad actress -- maybe the worst performance I've seen on both shows.
