Is 90s TV the Next Big Fad?
A few months ago, it became very “in” for Hollywood to start creating sequels for 80s- ad 90s-era movie series we believed to be long dead. Now, television seems be on the brink of a new trend: 90s TV, revisited. The CW seems to be following one basic theory: hey, it’s working for 90210.
Now, the minds at the network are brewing up another remake/continuation that Aaron Spelling fans are sure to enjoy: Melrose Place, the second time around. Details are sketchy, but a rep for the station has confirmed something is brewing to bring this prime-time drama back to life.
The series, which cropped up during Beverly Hills, 90210 fame, ran on FOX from 1992 to 1999.

90210, the CW’s spinoff/continuation has been performing consistently in the ratings department, drawing in at least 3 million viewers per week for the first half-dozen episodes. Promises of episodes featuring Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth are sure to keep old fans hooked, while new fans are being forged through the highly dramatic story lines (and growing popularity of cast members).
Currently, the Melrose Place remake is being suggested for the 2009-10 TV season. There’s no word yet on whether former cast members will be featured, but Lisa Rinna recently told the media she’d be willing to reprise her original role from the series.
