Melrose Place: The Seventh and Final Season, Vol. 2

Deliciously Campy
Melrose Place is one of my all-time favorite shows. Every few years, I sit down and rewatch the entire series. It’s like coming home to friends. (To quote Chandler Bing, “I miss Melrose Place!”)Originally positioned as a spin off of Beverly Hills 90210, the show did not really gain its footing until halfway through the first season. At that point, some deadweight was jettisoned, Michael went from being the perfect husband to being delightfully evil, Heather Locklear’s character Amanda shot into the foreground, and Dr. Peter Burns was brought on, every bit as evil as Michael, but far more competent. Plots ventured into the absurd - not so outrageous as Desperate Housewives, but certainly not the sorts of adventures an average LA apartment building full of hot twentysomethings could expect to encounter in real life. Everybody slept with everybody else, except for the gay Matt Fielding who (to the showrunners' credit) survived the great purge. Kimberly Shaw, who oddly did not make the main cast list for many seasons, died and was resurrected more times than I can count.Casting was perfect. Plot lines were deliciously campy. Sex was constant. Humor abounded. This was serious must-see TV back in the day.I introduced my daughter to Melrose Place when she was a teenager. Initially, we watched it together and made the discovery that eventually every episode ended with a cliffhanger. Since Melrose Place is basically a nighttime soap opera, meaning the plots carry on from episode to episode (and yet are quite fast paced), the best place to end our viewing for the evening was anywhere but the end of an episode! After we watched the first five seasons, my daughter then rewatched all of those episodes, probably 4 or 5 times. So I’m going to say Melrose Place withstood the test of time.Seasons 1-5 were classic Melrose Place.I was out of the country for a year, came back, settled in to watch Melrose Place, and was like, “Who ARE all these people?!” My mother responded, “They’re new people! They're better people!” They weren’t. There was a major cast reshuffling between Seasons 5 and 6. We lost a number of major characters. While some of the additions were good (Lexi), most were not particularly compelling. What kept the story going was the long-running Peter and Amanda storyline. Still, any Melrose Place is better than no Melrose Place. And towards the end, we were revisited by some familiar faces.For a good time, I can solidly recommend the entire series. Watch Melrose Place! You’ll love it.

Great series!
Do you want crazy, insane, hilarious (even when seriously themed) entertainment that will keep you on the edge of your seat and at times make you cry? Look no further than 80's and 90's night time soaps, and this entire set delivers. Melrose Place had the entire nation watching and now I remember why we were so hooked. I highly recommend, just don't take the show too seriously, it's entertainment, not reality. Enjoy!

This 1998-99 Season of MELROSE PLACE was awesome, despite the fact that it wasn't as successful as its predecessor BEVERLY HILLS 90210, plus I liked the return of Jane Mancini (Josie Bissett) whom was married to co-star Rob Estes (Kyle McBride) at the time.

Superior TV series wraps up in the final season
This was one of the classic TV shows that I had to own. It is nice to see the gang back as I take a stroll down memory lane. It would have been nice if there were extras and if they spent some time remastering the series, but who can complain about the series being on DVD so true fans can watch how this sizzling show ends?

Enjoyable Series, Not the best Season.
I have enjoyed Melrose Place for most of the series. Of course I wanted to see the whole series so I purchased Season 7 Volume 2. I was disappointed as the end of the series barely had any of the ingredients that made me love the series. I think this DVD could of had some extras and separating it into 2 separate volumes was pretty selfish in my opinion. However I'm happy the show ended when it did, I will happily re watch the series somewhere down the road but doubt I will choose to re watch Season 7 unless its at a time where I forget what happens.
