Melrose beats 90210 hands down.

90210 was cheesy.

Melrose was mature and real.

Melrose had a better cast and a better script, it was for grown ups.

Heather Locklear was hot. "Michael" was a great bad guy. Kimberly was one of the greatest villains ever in soap.

Maybe 90210 didn't know when to quit? Melrose was there for 7 solid seasons.

And the concept of 90210 is better suited for a remake as it's the classic kids in school-theme. The first episode of the remake had every cliche in the book:

- new kids in school get bullied CHECK
- fights on the sports team CHECK
- kids doing drugs CHECK
- new kid gets part in musical and probably gets other girl kicked off CHECK
- kid cheats on test and get caught CHECK
- kid get sents to principal office CHECK

Give me a fuckn break. I can't wait for the episode when some guy in the lockerroom sells steroids  ::)

Melrose Place on the other hand took place in the real world, with a great variety of real life situations, not just some brats in a school.

I am finishing work, don't have time to get into this with you. I will prove you wrong at a later date when I can google the cast of 90210 etc. and back up my stance! >:(

agreed

kimberly taking off that wig still gives me chills, also when she became "betsy" and had dr. peter burns commited

Dylan McKay is probably the baddest sub 140 pounder in the history of television.
