CW Shuts Down "Melrose Place"

[DToTheJ]

The CW has not yet announced its new fall schedule, but their list of renewals for next season does not include "Melrose Place." The show, which originally became a staple of Fox's schedule for most of the 90's, was a spinoff of "Beverly Hills, 90210" - which itself also saw a brief renaissance on The CW.

CW is still on the air?

I thought "teen TV" had gone dark.

If you say "dark" meaning "to the vampires," then, yes.

No. Dark, as in pffffft!

I have a feeling that if some the CW programs were on a cable network, they would fair better.

If people really like Melrose Place, then perhaps there'll be a petition to save the show--even if it means moving to a new network or first-run syndication....

So a show that was a cellar-dweller on the fifth place network would be picked up by someone else? Not in this lifetime.

Doesn't Soap Network already air reruns of this show? Sounds like that would be the most likely landing spot for a second resurrection of this show...

They've aired reruns of the 1st Melrose.

If memory serves, the initial MP aired on Fox....Why doesn't Fox just take in this show?

Let's see... CW has recycled "Melrose Place"... They also brought back "90210," which is still going to be on their schedule next year... Now all they need to do is bring back Gabrielle Carteris' failed talk show! That's it! That's probably who they're going to bring in to replace the outgoing Tyra Banks on CW Daytime!
