Not Surprised At This, Melrose Place Canceled!

I am a little surprised that ‘Life Unexpected’ was picked up, because after the first couple of episodes it was a little slow, but I still like it, but didn’t know if it was a hit. I hate the opening titles, so I hope they change those! Seriously!

But Melrose was canceled, which makes me sad for friends working on it, but it does NOT surprise me at all. I couldn’t watch it and I love soaps, it just didn’t work.

“Melrose Place is a really good show!” Lelaina Pierce, Reality Bites.

This was the case for a season way back in the 90s, but somethings can not be repeated.

CW Renews ‘One Tree Hill,’ ‘Life Unexpected’; ‘Melrose Place’ Canceled

One Tree HillIt looks like ‘One Tree Hill’ will live on for another season

According to the Live Feed, the CW gave the longrunning series a surprise renewal order today, while also picking up the low-rated freshman dramedy ‘Life Unexpected.’

This will mark ‘One Tree Hill’s’ eighth season on the air.

Meanwhile, the CW also made room for two newbie series. First up is ‘Nikita,’ starring Maggie Q as a rogue assassin.

Also getting picked up today: ‘Hellcats,’ a new series about a competitive cheerleading squad at a Southern university. Ashley Tisdale of ‘High School Musical’ fame stars alongside singer-actress Aly Michalka.

And now for the bad news: The CW has decided not to renew its ‘Melrose Place’ reboot for a second season, according to Variety. ‘Merlose’ is the network’s only scripted series not returning next season.

Apparently, Heather Locklear can’t save everything.

Seriously? Christine, Seriously!

Seriously? I write a funny, no, hilarious episode of Old Christine and the show gets canceled? I don’t care. My episode is funny, and I can’t think of another show that I could work my storyline into, so I am going with it. I will submit it this year. I know someone who recently got a job with a Seinfeld episode. Yes RECENTLY, Seinfeld! So I believe that my spec will show who I am as a writer and highlight my strengths.

The thing is, I am not one of those TV writers – you know who you are – that writes a spec script and gets attached to it so much that I can’t move on. TV writing is a fast fast fast business. NEXT! I have this one and my Big Bang Theory-which I also think is pretty funny, so I am armed and ready for the next round of fellowships and such.

I have also heard rumors that ABC might pick up Christine and I really hope so, because the show is really funny, and it is a shame that it was canceled.
