Yes, Richard, you should've gone for the 'Humpday' promo, if only for the awkward body language alone. The creepy dark observer in the back also adds a certain mystique.

*Edited to say: Clean up the pool for the photo shoot! Are leaves in the pool evidence of the wanton, reckless abandon we should expect from the characters?

@aLostLady: So what we've learned about this show so far is that whoever that guy in the pink shirt is A) he has no interest in that chick's boobs--I have never seen someone work so hard to avoid eye contact with a body part--and B) he either doesn't notice or doesn't mind when his feet get soaking wet.

I feel...educated.

@DahlELama: It's just the one foot in the pool, so maybe he's concentrating on not peeing?

At least they're being economical by re-appropriating fabric scraps for clothing. Way to do your part, guys.

I am all for promoting the lower class into the middle. It's when you try to push them all the way to upper that I get nauseous. You can't skip classes, folks! Lose that house with the pool behind these dressed-up and made-up peasants. Unless it's some kind of a plastic motel. Then it's OK.

@Niko Bellic: It's an apartment complex. That's sort of the entire point of the show.

Can I just express like 10 year old annoyance at the Blair Witch: You stole my money with lies, LIES! movie? Yes, there was me in a crowded movie theater with a sweater up to my eyebrows, about to have a nervous breakdown and then these giggling assbags appear on Letterman talking how much fun it was to hoax the entire world. Bah! Bitches, you got me.

Now then, about Melrose Place, will it be the Melrose from the first season no one watched, or the seasons that followed that everyone watched but no one admitted to watching? That was the kind of guilt that allowed Dawson's Creek to happen for years.

Tyne Daly remembers everything. If you're lost you can look and you WILL find her.

So much to say! All on the subject of Melrose Place! First of all, that poster is fantastic, except for its lack of Michael Rady. But yes, I definitely would have gone with "Tuesday is the New Humpday." Is there a "See You Next Tuesday?" Please tell me there is! Because as far as I'm concerned, that should be the slogan now and forever.

Also, does Ashlee look frighteningly like Sydney to anyone else? (I know she's not, but if she were the spawn of Laura Leighton and Doug Savant, this would make no one on Earth happier than it would make me.)

@DahlELama: I thought it was Sydney, until I read your comment. I thought Laura Leighton was in this new one. Yes?

@DahlELama: I can sadly say I saw them both on Access Hollywood, or similar show, on the junket for MP and they were being all coy about whether they will play sisters on the show or mother-and-daughter.

@DahlELama: Sydney was the best EVER. I remember forcing my dad to watch Melrose with me while I was in high school. Sadly, I don't think he'll be watching it this time around.

@skatez: I'm impressed that that worked; Melrose was the only show forbidden in my house, except for Married With Children.

@freedc: Either option would be pretty freakin awesome by me.

@DahlELama: She has straight reddish hair here. Thats where the similarity ends for me. I loved Melrose, and Sydney was by FAR the best character... But I wouldnt watch a show with Ashlee Simpson as a primary star if my life depended on it. Why is anyone being even remotely accepting of this nonsense!!!?

@taco-flavored-kisses: It's the heart-shaped face too, I think. And we accept it because given a choice between a new Melrose and no Melrose. Also, be sensitive--not everyone has DVR, and her scenes will provide an excellent opportunity to break for the bathroom if one cannot wait for commercial.
