Old Media Hanging on by a Thread
Seriously?! I mean, I know even Shakespeare ripped people off for story ideas, but does the formula for success really require remaking old shows without even changing their names?
Based on the ratings success of the rebooted “90210,” the CW network is developing a redo of “Melrose Place” for the 2009-10 season.

I actually called this in a Station Conversation in September. If they use “Melrose Place Babies” for the title, I’ll sue.
Really? 90210 was successful?
NO ONE I’ve come in contact with has said anything about it, not even on major blogs or other websites.
Can’t imagine what CW describes as “Successful”
