And I Will Always Love Yooooooooou
Melrose Place will forever be imbedded in my mind as one of the GREATEST guilty pleasures ever to grace television.
Aaron Spelling, the creator of MP and other Jarett obsessions; 90210 and Charmed, passed away this weekend, surrounded by his "I heart gift wrapping rooms" Wife, Candy, his "I wasn't cast on 90210 because my daddy was the producer" daughter, Tori and "I CLEARLY was cast on 90210 because my daddy was the producer" son, Randy.
Had it not been for Aaron, here are some things that would have never become part of TV history:
1. Sideburns are not only cool, but mandatory for brooding
2. Even on TV, 30-year-old women don't look like High Schoolers!
3. Rose McGowan is a perfectly acceptable replacement for Shannen Doherty--in fact, in some ways, she's better!
4. In California, black people and southerners can dissapear (snap your fingers) Just like that!
5. The early work of Jessica Alba and Hilary Swank on 90210--sidenote: Hilary was tot fired from the show.....but Tori remained!
6. Holly Marie Combs is the #1 most underrated actress on television!!!!!! Able to not only cry on cue, but make you feel every ounce of her pain--Put this woman in another TV show STAT!
7. Scenario: You're a virgin about to be raped, the rapist has a knife to your throat when your boyfriend comes to the door to see if you're okay--simply call him by some other version of his name ie: David becomes Dave, for example--and he will know something is wrong, bust down the door and save the day.....and you'll still wait 4 more years to give him your cherry!
8. The Best Ad Slogan in the history of TV
9. The Best Battle Cry in the history of TV
10. And finally, the moment of TV that will haunt my dreams until the end of time--the best twist EVER! the best reveal EVER! the best character EVER!
So thank you Aaron, you will be sorely missed--and one last thank you--thank you for redefining the term, "jumping the shark" you didn't just jump the bitch, but you blew it to smithereens and then temporarily blinded the bitch!
