05.00 Brothers
05.30 Melrose Place
06.30 Melrose Place
Brothers. Episode 2. "Anniversary" The boys try and have girlfriends, while their dad forgets something very important.
Old fashioned comedy show. It's like it fell in from a timewarp or something.
But it sure makes me laugh.
Melrose Place. Episode 5. "Canon" Ella vs. cops.
This episode is a hoot from start to finish. It's a lot of fun watching these characters. Ella is running around trying to throw the cops off her trail, Lauren is trying to balance her friendships with her (new) life as a prostitute, Jonah is confronting David about his tendency to steal expensive necklaces, and Violet (rapidly becoming a close second favourite with me, after Ella) is busy framing a rival - at work - for theft.
All the stories are fun, and they move fast. And I like all the characters (except Riley).
Melrose Place. Episode 6. "Shoreline"
Riley annoys me, and this storyline is an example of why. She gets a big break and doesn't want to take it. I'm annoyed on two levels: within the show, she's just an annoying character and when you step outside the show to think about what you are watching this is annoying because we know that it is padding. We know she's eventually do the 'right' thing and become a jeans model. Otherwise there's no story.
That one flaw aside, this was another fast and funny episode: Lauren and David being on the same boat at the same party, both with secrets to protect, while (crazy) Violet runs off to fake seduce Michael... Hilarious and Hilarious.
Great, fun show.
Highlight? Melrose Place (fun show)
