Melrose Place was the jam. Who didn’t love a little old school Heather Locklear in a crop-top/momjean combo? Awesome right? If we were Darren Swimmer and Todd Slavkin (the two guys who currently run Smallville) we’d probably entertain Melrose offers as well.
However, does this mean that . . .
Smallville (a show we sometimes forget to remember still exists) might be in jeopardy? Warner Bros is reportedly finalizing agreements with Tom Welling and the Smallville gang for the upcoming year but the network has not formally renewed the Superman show for it’s ninth season. Who knows? A Swimmer/Slavkin departure could sway the higher-ups.
More importantly though, we’d like to know what Darren and Todd have planned for Melrose Place. After the hot mess that is the new 90210, we’d like to have official veto power over the entire MP project. Cheesy dialogue and weak but cute teenaged actors? Vetoed! Unattractive fashions and poorly constructed soap opera plot threads? Vetoed! Andrew Shue, Vanessa L. Williams, well-timed bitch slapping, carefully executed backstabbing, pixie cuts, and a pool??? Yes ma’am. We’ll take two.
