After Picking 90210 Clean, The CW Moves on to The Carcass of Melrose Place

-- snicks from AfterElton.com

 

After achieving semi-success with their 90210 "re-imagining", the CW may be ready to regurgitate another iconic show from the 90's.

That's right, we may see a new version of Melrose Place coming to the small screen, albeit without the help of the original's out creator, Darren Star.

 

Melrose Place helped revive the career of Heather Locklear, who until this show was stuck making Lifetime movies and ...The Return of Swamp Thing.

It also gave us the infamously "barely there" gay character of Matt (Doug Savant), who occasionally had a storyline, but was mostly there to act as a sort of greek gay chorus for the other characters. One of the most controversial moments of the show occurred in 1994 when FOX (boo!) ordered that a gay kiss between Matt and another character be edited out of an episode.

If they do revive it, I don't see how they can not include another gay character (um ... it's West Hollywood), and it'll be interesting to see how they handle it this time around.

As a special treat, I've included what in my opinion is the show's greatest moment (others insist this is when the show jumped the shark, but they're wrong). It features the whackadoodle character of Kimberley, played by Marcia Cross before she was a desperate housewife, as she gets revenge on ... well, everyone (and best of all ... the clip's in French!).
