I used to watch and record this show in middle school and I can't believe that Kim had M.P.D and she had 🧠 surgery. She was so crazy on this show but the show didn't explain her background much. They made it seem like she was born with MDP. She was CRAZY...bombed the building and stole a baby. I love watching it on Amazon Prime now. I feel like I watched this without a real awareness of what was going on; prostitution, Allison's dad hurting her as a child, mpd, doctors changing medical records 🙃
I watched this show as a teem in the 90s too, thinking it was how people acted and looked like in California. When I visited for the first time in my early 20s, I was very disappointed when I learned it didn't reflect reality.
Melrose Place was so outrageous! Kimberly blowing up the apartment complex was my favorite. I also loved when Jane and Sidney got into a fight over their grandmother’s dress and they fell in the pool, and when Peter tried to kill Amanda, only to have her marry him later.
One of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE MP moments was when DRUNK Alison ruined Billy and Susan's romantic dinner. Then, as Alison was arrogantly slithering out the door, she says, "I've always wanted to do that." LOL
Loved Marcia Cross as the deranged Kimberly (she TRULY had the most 'deranged' moments from her run on MP) but don't forget that Heather Locklear/Amanda got her start on soaps as the trashy Sammy Jo for YEARS on Dynasty in the 80's (plus Jack Wagner/Peter), he was on General Hospital, Santa Barbara, and Bold and the Beautiful.
Amaryl, if you've never seen any, I think 90s Mexican telenovelas are the entertainment for you. It's pure ridiculous, campy drama with the most beautiful houses (not too many kitchen tho, because it's often either shacks with no kitchens or mansions with servants so, you know). My favorite is La Usurpadora (I mean, even the title is dramatic). Good evil, bad twin. I'm Brazilian and it is an absolute classic over here.
Aaron Spelling was a big fan of William Bell, his soaps The Young & Restless and The Bold & Beautiful. I think you might say Melrose Place was what you'd expect if you took a daytime soap and put it into a primetime format. Lots of suds and a bigger budget.
I was gonna say this too. Spelling clearly modeled Kimberly after Bill Bell’s legacy character villainess… the legendary Sheila Carter played by Kimberlin Brown.
@@MKHSdance Yeah, they had many similarities - both were presumed dead and returned, had medical background, battled with ex wives of their husbands, used blackmail, caused explosions and held Jack Wagner's character hostage. There were many differences too, of course, but I love watching both of them. Another connection between two shows - MP's Taylor was originally supposed to be played by... B&B's Taylor - Hunter Tylo but she was fired after she became pregnant so she returned to B&B (Taylor's first return from the dead after plane crash). She sued Aaron Spelling and won. I wonder how would her career pan out if she was allowed to stay in the role. Incidentally she was replaced by Lisa Rinna who... also got pregnant but this time they knew better and didn't fire her.
Oh come onnnn, you left out one of the campiest lines in the show! After the explosion, poor Alison sits in her hospital bed with bandages over her eyes, and after a very technical prognosis about the state of her vision, she asks, "is that doctor talk for blind??"
To this day, one of my all-time favorite MP moments is the one where Kimberly singlehandedly turned the tables on that psycho Vic (who had kidnapped her)...and then singlehandedly brought Vic to the police station. And, finally, Kimberly told the desk captain that she had to go home, take a shower and freshen up...and THEN she would return to the police station to press charges against Vic. LOL!!!!! CLASSIC MELROSE PLACE!!!!! Those were fun times.
@@SamuraiKike He was the weirdest looking guy to ever be put onto a show that's supposed to be full of hot people. Makes me wonder what he had to do to get this coveted role. How he had to sell himself out, literally. Certainly it wasn't about his looks or even his acting ability, because he has none of either. And you know every young, actually good looking but unemployed actor in Hollywood would have been trying to get a read for this role back in the day. So how did he of all people get it. hmmmmmmmmmmmm.....
This show was just nuts. About the one thing I do remember from it was Marcia Cross and just how insane she was as Kimberly and the whole blowing up the apartment complex. That was amazing and very daytime soap worthy.
So here's the thing. I never watched Melrose place growing up. Somehow some way in my mind Melrose place occupied the same space as Rosanne and in fact I may have internally confused the two for years. I cannot describe to you how hard I broke down laughing at this compilation in the Craft. I had tears streaming down my face by the time I got to that last explosion. What was Melrose place even 😂😂
@@MartinSmith156 it gave me that same feeling I'm sure I gave others when I just send clip compilations of the batshit insane batman soap opera that was Gotham. Just a show where the campiest dumbest things in the world happen but the actors are doing their damnedest to play it straight and every few minutes you're reminded "oh yeah this is supposed to somehow be about batman 😂"
@@strayiggytv the best thing about Melrose Place was it took pride in its own sleaziness, it was PURPOSELY camp, the scene when Sydney is beaten up by angry, aging manly looking hookers, they even call her an "uppity slut" on Hollywood BLVD is GREAT trash tv done right
Believe it or not, it was broadcast 5 days a week at 5PM in France!!!! When it’s supposed to be for adults only!!! So we would be watching with my sister and muting everything when my mother was around 😂😂😂 good times!!
I know MP highlights were all on Seasons 1-4, but I missed some Taylor's (Lisa Rinna), Jennifer's (Alyssa Milano) and Lexi's (Jamie Lurner) bitchy moments... I'll never forget when Taylor used a door to get a black eye... Ouch!😅 I really loved that show, more than BH90210. How it moved from a YA series to a REAL soap opera each season was amazing, the absurd storylines, who dated who... Yeah, I miss those guys!😂
Will the reboot meet expectations and honor the CW spinoff's continuity? Who's making a comeback? In my video, I highlighted how many reboots disappoint, so I'm hopeful this one will fare better. Let's prioritize substance over performative activism and ensure the return of talented actors!
Although I loved the tv-show I can't understand how the hell Brooke (don't remember actress name) got role after Melrose Place from Sex in The City. She can't act. Jane Mancini's actress I haven't seen anywhere but her acting was also so bad that is easy to say Michael and Sydney are my favorite characters from the show. Kimberly close 3rd.
Hookers, mentally deranged people, promiscuity, abortions, sister betrayal, unfaithful marriages and an array of low class stories that could only get worse as the storyline progresses. I will forever stick with 90210. Melrose place was tragically low and horrible.
All the soap opera hunk are still very young here... They aged gracefully though (of course not natural, we clearly can see the botox line).... Hawwwytt
"It's not what it looks like..... it's WORSE!!!"
I love that line😂
@@DawnRoache-y9n Kimberly made a harder turn than even Michael!!!😈
Me too!!!
I remember the Kimberly in front of the mirror, pull back of the wig reveal. And I remember thinking “oh it’s a brain thing, that explains a lot”
I thought she was some sort of alien.
I used to watch and record this show in middle school and I can't believe that Kim had M.P.D and she had 🧠 surgery.
She was so crazy on this show but the show didn't explain her background much. They made it seem like she was born with MDP. She was CRAZY...bombed the building and stole a baby.

“It’s not what it looks like! It’s worse.” Is such a cunty line. It’s so good. Emmy worthy. Should have won a Golden Globe.
I was a tween back then and I remember thinking "Wow! Kimberly sure knew how to leave a lasting impression!"
I will forever remember the wig revealing the horrible scar! My 10yr old self was GAGGED!
Melrose Place was so outrageous! Kimberly blowing up the apartment complex was my favorite. I also loved when Jane and Sidney got into a fight over their grandmother’s dress and they fell in the pool, and when Peter tried to kill Amanda, only to have her marry him later.
You forgot Kimberly tying up and threatening to kill Sydney before blowing up the building and then becoming her psycologist later.
The pottery shattering noise when she smashes through the glass door
Rumor has it that customer is still waiting for that chicken salad
I’m SO glad you did this! It was my favorite part of your the craft review!!!!
Melrose Place was just the best show ever! There will never be anything like it on television again.
True. Cracked me up they tried to revive it a few years back and it just sucked big time.
The chicken salad and Kristen Davis plate smashing was top tier for me. Also the wig reveal was iconic!
That was me last night!
One of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE MP moments was when DRUNK Alison ruined Billy and Susan's romantic dinner. Then, as Alison was arrogantly slithering out the door, she says, "I've always wanted to do that." LOL
Incredible. This compilation is a work of pop art
Thank you who ever posted this! I know MP isn't Shakespeare, but I loved it in the '90's!
In my mind, this is the Desperate Housewives & Sex and the City prequel-crossover show...
Yes you're right! 😊
It's so like that 😂
Yees😂
Thats why i love drama i grow up seeing this OMG
Marcia Cross being in two iconic soaps...we stan
She is the Queen...
Three, if you count One Life to Live
Loved Marcia Cross as the deranged Kimberly (she TRULY had the most 'deranged' moments from her run on MP) but don't forget that Heather Locklear/Amanda got her start on soaps as the trashy Sammy Jo for YEARS on Dynasty in the 80's (plus Jack Wagner/Peter), he was on General Hospital, Santa Barbara, and Bold and the Beautiful.
She was also in The Edge of Night
❤😍
It's the recurring appearance of the shirtless long haired B-Roll commercial break transition guy for me. 10/10
😂😂😂😂😂
Its that one note we hear when we see him for me 😂😂😂😂😂
For real, who is she? 😍
Marcia took off that wig to serve Sinead O'Connor realness with the cheekbone and pointy chin... Damn she slayed
"Are you happy now?" No! LOL!
It's awful but I scream-laughed at the chicken salad moment 😂
I blame the chicken, it's not right but they taste so good!
I cackled. Went full old hag. It’s not our fault! The wildly inappropriate contrast is the humor, ya know?
“Jake. You slept with me and then with her. What do you call that? Double dating? 😂😂😂
LOL
"You did me all night", that line reading! LOL

Women love chicken salad. More than they hate rape.
And dress shops
Karen doesn't care, she wants that chicken salad :O
Never keep a Karen and her chicken salad separated for long

My god!! Yes! I gotta rewatch melrose place! Amazing!
All of the seasons are on paramount plus. I'm gonna do a rewatch soon.
I started 5 years ago and still haven’t finished 😂 almost there though but that’s 35 eps per season!!!
Aaron Spelling was a big fan of William Bell, his soaps The Young & Restless and The Bold & Beautiful. I think you might say Melrose Place was what you'd expect if you took a daytime soap and put it into a primetime format. Lots of suds and a bigger budget.
And faster tempo. Daytime soaps are too slow for me. Melrose is amazing. 🤩
I was gonna say this too. Spelling clearly modeled Kimberly after Bill Bell’s legacy character villainess… the legendary Sheila Carter played by Kimberlin Brown.

Brooke going hard and crazy on Billy was Kristin Davis' rehearsal for when Charlotte went hard on Harry in Sex and The City.
Oh come onnnn, you left out one of the campiest lines in the show! After the explosion, poor Alison sits in her hospital bed with bandages over her eyes, and after a very technical prognosis about the state of her vision, she asks, "is that doctor talk for blind??"
Best soap ever.
I remember they post-poned the explosion episode by a few months because of OKC bombing.
To this day, one of my all-time favorite MP moments is the one where Kimberly singlehandedly turned the tables on that psycho Vic (who had kidnapped her)...and then singlehandedly brought Vic to the police station. And, finally, Kimberly told the desk captain that she had to go home, take a shower and freshen up...and THEN she would return to the police station to press charges against Vic. LOL!!!!! CLASSIC MELROSE PLACE!!!!! Those were fun times.
DO I HAVE AN ATTITUDE PROBLEM? I'M GAY.
Needed a spinoff of the hot long haired shirtless guy hanging out by the parking meter
Marcia Cross was amazing as Dr. Kimberly Shaw. 🙌
Holy crap 😂 I forgot what fun this show was 😳
Thomas Calabro was the finest specimen of a man I’d ever seen.
...especially when he played an A--HOLE! ....who KNEW!?? ...ha-HAAA!!
This brings me back to my childhood and watching anything on Fox (especially the stuff I shouldn’t have :p)
At least Marcia cross had a realistic looking wig . Patrick Muldoon can’t say the same !
...hell, even the SCAR looked more real! ...ha-HAAA!!
OMG! It seems that I absolutely forgot how mental everyone was.
Great Show
Not a single moment of Taylor McBride? She was the unhinged queen of Melrose Place
My money on that goes to Lexi Sterling. Totally OWNED Amanda in the final season.
It looks like only the first seasons are covered. Lexi 100% beat them all looool but it was 100% on purpose by that time! (S7)
Both Taylor and LExi were part of the later Melrose seasons when people simply didnt care anymore, sadly.
I remember when Amanda had a panic attack for not getting to Mr Lindey in time before he left the office
That explosion though...
So so good! Rape talk schmape talk when theres a chicken salad around! Also, Andrew Shue giving all the wrong faces when Kristin Davis is giving 100%
LOL yes,,Andrew Shue was hot and not much else XD
“No!”

@@CarissaConti Bullshit !
Charlotte? Is that you, baby??!😂
I forgot she used to be crazy a** Brooke lol😂
Damn... Is that Marcia Cross???? Bree van de Kamp really had a crazy past...
I’m surprised this isn’t longer
This show was just nuts. About the one thing I do remember from it was Marcia Cross and just how insane she was as Kimberly and the whole blowing up the apartment complex. That was amazing and very daytime soap worthy.
For life for the rest of your Life 😂😂
Who ever thought the charming/ friendly/ smiley Brooke would become a Major villain on MP?
You mean FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
That was definitely a threat. !
No scenes with Taylor or Lexi?
Trash TV of the 90s. Miss it dearly 😂😂.
I remember seeing her blow up the apartment for the first time. Ah, memories.
Marcia Cross is in television history :))
Where was Richard Hart being buried alive?
Best. Show. Ever. 🙌💛
I need a part two and three
Can we all agree it probably wasn’t done on purpose initially though lol? It definitely was in s6 and s7 but I doubt it during s2-4.
Lol. Amazing edit
I'm actually watching this show. I love it😊
2:39 One conrow can hurt 😂😅

It was a crazy primetime soap opera, spun off of Beverly hills 90210. It was addictive

Never watched MP when it was on, so I didn't expect it to be so soapy!
watched a bit of this because of that one Seinfeld episode lol
"Oh, that Michael... he's just so smug!"
It's hard to top Kimberly and her antics, especially when she literally blew up Melrose Place.
She did! But next thing you know, Amanda was simply sweeping the place 🤣🤣🤣
3:27 Michael is such an a**hole but he is funny!
The apartment bombing episode could not be aired at the original date because of the Oklahoma City bombing 😑
Nice series!!!!!
LOL This is amazing.
wow I had no idea that kristen davis was in melrose place. and marcia gross looks so young here

@@Puda -tbh-
Are you happy now? NO.
😂😂😂😂
so good
Segue from rape to chicken salad. No big deal.
God, the 90s was fun!
I hate when they kill off Sidney. She was doing so well.... 😮
2:35 and 4:02
The moments you are looking for.
You are welcome.
What about that scene where the chick went crazy and trashed the bar Shooters ?????
How did I watch that show? 😂😂😂

Billy that was stalking what a psycho she was
It's not what it looks like. It's worse. (c) Freckles
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No Betsy scenes? Hmm. Betsy was defs Melrose unhinged lol
I loved Betsy 🤣
Not to mention the way the was dressed...
Should of had the fight with Jake and Jess when they fell and Jess died.
And that slow-motion fall 😂
Jesus Christ, Andrew Shue was such a bad, bad actor. What a dud.
How long did Andrew Shue date Courtney ?
1:50 Such bad acting.” Here.
Billy’s acting is pretty bad
Bullshit !
how was this a real show?
Because it was better than anything you’ve ever liked.
Hookers, mentally deranged people, promiscuity, abortions, sister betrayal, unfaithful marriages and an array of low class stories that could only get worse as the storyline progresses. I will forever stick with 90210. Melrose place was tragically low and horrible.

What was this show about? Just a cheap soap opera? Of god looking people in the 90s that live in the same apartment building?
Shockley bad television and so much fun. the episodes could be played in any order and made no difference to plot or characterisation.
This show made women seem absolutely insane and evil, and men seem logical and kind. Aaron Spelling made a fortune selling misogyny.
Um which men were logical and kind in this show😂😂
This is nuts
