Melrose Place is in my opinion the only classy American soap after "Dallas". Well, at least for the first four seasons. The episode where Kimberly prepares to blow up the Melrose complex (last episode of the 3rd season) is a true classic. The 4th season was good, but not as great as the 3rd. In the 5th season the script writers obviously ran out of ideas, making characters swap partners like they swapped underwears and constantly arguing with each other. It continued pretty much the same way in the 6th season, but with mostly new (boring actors/actresses portraying them) characters. Things changed a bit for the 7th season with more slowly paced story lines, but that instead made the show plain boring. Marcia Cross and Laura Leighton (Kimberly and Sydney) should never have been alloud to leave. The best actresses on the show, ever!
