Again With This: Dawson's, Melrose, 90210

Off-model July wraps up in the best possible way: with you! We set up a hotline (210.920.4699) you can use to leave us a voicemail day or night, and we were thrilled to hear from so many of you. We cover questions, like which scenes showed the cast actually acting well and which writer showed up to cameo in multiple episodes. And comments, like how mad people still are about that gay kiss cut from the Season 2 finale, and how the show has invaded their dreams. All this and much much more in our first -- but certainly not last -- call-in special!

How do you make a game about the shows of the Darren Star Universe when one combatant literally wrote a book about his first show, and the other has barely watched it or its spinoff? Tara went back to the TV listings for nights when particular episodes of Beverly Hills, 90210 and Melrose Place first aired, and came up with a game about OTHER TV episodes that were opposite or around them on their original airdates. Who remembers the most about the TV shows of the '90s? By the end of this episode, we'll all know!

Small Wonder S02.E15: "Top Secret" on YouTube

We did it for the secondary characters of Beverly Hills, 90210, and now it's Melrose Place's turn. Eighteen recurring characters enter the Thunderdome for a FIGHT TO THE DEATH. Which ones did we pick, and who makes it through multiple rounds of mortal combat to be the last secondary character standing? You'll have to listen to find out!

058: Let's Watch Laura Leighton (And Grant Show) In The CW's Dynasty!

The CW's Dynasty throws a Melrose Place reunion as the former Sydney Andrews ALMOST crosses paths with the former Jake Hanson.

081: Let’s Watch Laura Leighton In In The Name Of Love: A Texas Tragedy!

It's another Melrose/true-crime crossover -- this time, 1995's In The Name Of Love: A Texas Tragedy, featuring Laura Leighton as a victim of the class wars in small-town Texas; Bonnie "Mark Greene's Mom" Bartlett as her snooty aunt-in-law; and writing that echoes John Hughes's clumsiest eat-the-rich instincts. Was it half an hour too long? Why isn't there a book about the case? And why the F is Luke trying to cover up his crime in an open field in broad daylight?

The less said about a completely nonsensical fight between Sam and Sydney over Jane's former apartment, the better: the upshot is that Billy recommends that Sam explore her rights by talking to a lawyer about it, only to regret it when it turns out she knows one, because they used to date. While this is going on, Sydney blows town with Carter to visit important locations from his formative years. Are they sneaking off in defiance of Walter, or playing right into his hands? Jake is excited to show Alison the house he wants to raise their child in, completely oblivious to the look of abject terror on her face. While Michael is unconscious following his (latest) car crash, a hallucination of his two most recent wives seems to push him toward Megan. But when he comes to, Kimberly tells him she's ready to accept his help through her last weeks on earth. Amanda has regrets about how things are going in her marriage when Peter tells her he's rented himself a new place, and Peter's good friend Taylor has problems with a whole new man: Kyle's old army buddy Nick. Settle into our podcast on "Better Homes And Condos"!
