Discuss: 90210 Returns, Melrose Place Premieres
Yes, everyone. The fall television season is now getting under way. We’ve all suffered through those long boring months with nothing on television but reality programming and some series on cable. True Blood’s season is coming to an end, and from what I’ve heard Hung wasn’t a bad series. Might need to head to my on demand to check that one out before it is pulled by HBO. The CW is ready to premiere two of its series tonight with season two of 90210 ready to start, and an all new Melrose Place ready to hit your small screen.
I was a fan of 90210 last year, but the series lost me a bit around mid-season. I finally managed to catch up on all that I missed from Summer going nuts to Ethan falling for her. Don’t forget Naomi falling for the bad boy only to have them both screwed over by her sister. Him, literally. In the midst of all that, Annie is labeled a narc and tossed out on her butt from Naomi’s prom party. This means revenge is needed as Annie decides to play her label and actually narc on the party. This all leads up to what is supposed to be a cliffhanger ending with Annie doing a hit and run.
As for Melrose Place, an all new set of tenants of twenty-somethings with their messed up lives are ready to move in and let us follow their loves. A familiar face or two are going to be around, and those behind the place are still trying to get Heather Locklear to make a big return as Amanda Woodward. No telling if she will do it, but I’m hoping she does.
I will be watching both premieres tonight on CW, and I’ll come back with some thoughts then. Feel free to chime in with your own in the comments below!
Check here for more on 90210 and Melrose Place .
90210 started off the night with the end of summer school, and the start of the fall semester. Annie became persona non grata as everyone labeled her a snitch for calling on Naomi’s party. Naomi also thinks that Annie slept with Liam, who also makes his return to 90210. Ethan, however, has left the picture, sending a text to Silver to end things. We also have a new arrival to the zip code, as an old flame of Adrianna’s returns, and it looks like Teddy Montgomery is looking to shake things up this year. He causes several problems by opening his big mouth in just this episode alone. As for Annie, she drowns her sorrows in alcohol, and she ends up in bed with a senior that takes a picture of her naked. A picture that Naomi manages to get a hold of, and next week she will use that picture to make Annie’s life hell.
As for Melrose Place, the series starts with a bang. Not literally as no shots are fired, but there is a death as Sydney returns to her old building, and she ends up dead in the pool by the first commercial break. We get to meet the people that now make up the occupants of Melrose Place, and we have a good mix. By the end of the first episode we see Michael is still around and kicking, and these new tenants are just as wild and crazy as the former ones. I’m actually looking forward to seeing what they do in the time to come.
What did you think of tonight’s episodes?
