Between Seinfeld and MP, not sure if I caught the whoole thing. But
Jake got tutored for his GED by Allison and a brief fling
developed between them. The other cast members muttered about this.
The gorgeous African American whose
name I can't remember proved to herself that she could dance
like a star but then decided, encouraged by her gay boyfriend,
that life was better just teaching aerobics. I may have missed
the rich cultural underpinnings of this week's episode (if
there wer any), but that's the bones of this week's episode

I've seen a bunch of apartments like the one shown in melrose place (in
Pasadena). We joke and call them "del mar" apartments after a set of
apartments owned by the university there. 

They seem a pretty standard feature of southern california, kind of like
courtyard apartments in Chicago (3 sides facing the street with a central
grass & landscaped courtyard. )

I can't believe the extent to which TV can sink. Now they have another
version of Life-Styles of Rich and Famous where they let people live life
vicariously. And don't tell me that the people in Melrose Place are
common folks! Even in Los Angeles you have to pay the bills. 

I really hate it when they have soaps at Prime Time. 

And I wonder why my IQ keeps getting higher...  when the nation is
watching 90210 and Melrose Place what do you expect... I would much
prefer if people watched Porno movies instead because at least then they
won't be faking it... Whether you like it or not it is the same
thing... Think about it (once in a while it doesn't harm!!)

Also don't think that this post is just a flame-bait. I am serious
about all this.

Is Freshman Dorm actually filmed at Pepperdine? I was trying to figure out
where it was supposed to be and remembered Peperdine, but since I've never
been there, I couldn't tell if that was where it really was. Also what's
the scoop on wher it's supposed to be in theory? Is it a state school? a UC
school? a private school? or what?

Nope. That was Kerri Green. She was also in "Goonies" and "Three For The Road",

The preview for Beverly Hills, 90210  next week was a 2-hour special (the
re-run about Brenda and Dylan having sex and thinking Brenda's
pregnant).  So, I would guess that MP won't show next week, which
would explain why there were no previews.

Gee, we made it thru the whole "season" and the only room we never got
to see was Matt's (is that his name?  The gay one that is supposed to break
new ground for TV?)

Think about it -- we've seen the married couple and their place A LOT,  
followed by Allison and Billy's place.  We saw Jake's place with the Kelly
episodes and the Allison-fling-NOT episode.  We finally saw The Blond and
the Dancer's place yesterday.  So what is it?  Don't they know what a gay
guy's place would look like?  Geez.                

And what was that all about with the broken foot?  Must have been a time
killer, cause he banged it, got it bandaged off camera, and it was never
mentioned again. 

I wonder what next season will bring?  Stronger writing, I hope, and a
look at Matt's room!

Break it down!! :-)  I am not sure why they totally ignored Matt (except for
a few lines and an occasional T-shirt).  But, I know that I am definitely
disappointed with this blatant "copver-up" of Matt.  They said that they would
devote an episode to each character, but Billy the wanna-be-writter-and-scared-
of-bungee-jumping-with-a-good-body character has had at least two episodes with
much attention to him.  They cannot break new ground with a gay character that
doesn't even get air-time.  If we don't see Matt getting more attention real
soon, I think it is time to raise HELL!!

>And what was that all about with the broken foot?  Must have been a time

:-)  They needed to fill time, but didn't want to give Matt any time.  They
could have had a small scene touching on Matt's sexuality that would have had
as little to do with the show as that scene!

After last night's (8/19) episode, I didn't see any coming attractions
for next week.  Was that the last episode of the mini-season?  When is
the next episode / when does the new Fox season begin?

Episode notes:  From the previews, you'd never have thought this would 
have a Sandy-oriented plot line, as opposed to a Billy and Allison one.
Overall, pretty average; this show relies upon the personality of its
characters to keep some of the episodes going.  (Obviously this has

What's wrong with these people? Jake and what's her face
who's Billy's platonic roommate (so far) fall for each other,
then she decides it's "just a thing." Well, it's her choice I
guess but she really is preventing the show from jelling.
Then what's her name the gorgeous African American does a
stunning dance routine (wish she'd do a sex scene sometime--
hey, why not with Jake?) and decides teaching aerobics is
better, it seems, on the grounds that loving and accepting
yourself beats the hell out of succeeding on Broadway. Go
for it girl!

Whose values are these? Are these real people? Does anyone
act like this? Or are these a bunch of middle-class people
simulating incest on your screen?
