I ran across this great promo from original series finale and felt that it should be posted.  There are so many people watching the new show that never saw the old one, so they may not be able to appreciate each clip in this as it highlights many of the characters and some of the greatest moments.  It's kind of one of those things that if you were there, you can appreciate how great it was, otherwise, a hand poking out of the ground or a chick rising from a foggy pool doesn't mean a whole lot and may just make you think that it was a Halloween episode.

The truth is, these clips only make sense after you are invested in the characters and you start to empathize with them and see where they are coming from.  You can better predict what they will do because you understand them.  As Henry Higgins would say, you become "accustom to their face" and then WHAP!  You get smacked upside your head with something that you didn't see coming.

Back in the day, there were not many night time dramas, but that kept changing in the 90's.  People saw the success of Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place and kept trying to make "the next Melrose Place".  Many came and most went back to the forgotten realm of obscurity (although I don't know of any that lasted only 2 episodes like The Beautiful Life: TBL!!)

Now, Melrose Place is back and while all of the naysayers whine out loud, by next year they will be singing it's praises and talking about how they always believed in it.

Just sit back and chillax for a couple more weeks.  We have a few episodes to go and then...
