On our final MELR0210 episode of the year, we're delivering a double dose of Melrose Place so that we could talk about a bonkers Christmas episode around the holidays!

First up, it's the stupidly titled, "Sex, Drugs and Rockin' the Cradle," which first hit the airwaves on December 12, 1994. This episode features more of the ongoing saga with Kimberly and Jo and Jo's baby, Alison going to rehab and tangling with a sex addict played by David James Elliot, and Peter getting super-duper crazy with Amanda and the D&D takeover!

Then, just in time for Christmas, we're talking about, "Holiday on Ice," which originally aired on December 19, 1994. This ep has it all: Peter forcing Michael into handing over Michael Jr. to Jo, Kimberly narc-ing on Jo to Reed's terrible parents, Alison getting romantically involved with her sex-addicted rehab buddy, Matt and Jeffrey's relationship disintegrating, and, yes, Amanda being visited by the ghost of Bruce who (sort of) tries to show her the error of her insane ways. Merry Christmas, Amanda!

Remember folks, next month we'll be covering BOTH PARTS of the Beverly Hills, 90210 season three finale, "Commencement" parts 1 & 2, so next month will be a double dose of 90210, we want you to watch accordingly!

MELR0210 is a WHM podcast where the guys blissfully stroll through the Beverly Hills, 90210 and Melrose Place timelines. The episodes covered will run in broadcast order unless otherwise specified.

Parker Stevenson was one of the Hardy Boys back in the 70s (which had a great opening theme) and was also married to Kirstie Alley

I will honor Mingo in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.

Eric Szyszka's "Semen Demon" was pretty good for a Shutter Original.

Les Whinen

I know they always make up a little joke when one of them is absent, but Eric Szyszka out stealing presents from little children may actually be the truth

Kyle Godown

There's a White Christmas/ white blood cell count pun in there somewhere that the writers definitely batted around as a episode title.

MarkNM

Oops! All Mingo!

Jason Reagan

Coming this Christmas, Semen Demon 2: O Come All Ye Faithful

I wondered if I was the only one who 'membered.

Thank you. I knew it was familiar from somewhere.

I love how Alf just turns into Andrew Dice Clay .

Stanley Kamel (Bruce) will later appear as a different recurring character on 90210 in season 6. It's a pretty big and important role, and I'll just leave it at that. Stay tuned!

Tony Spehar

Would be cooler if he was the same character

Graig samoluk

The Alf bit was the hardest uve laughed in a while

Ed

I'm still utterly baffled that Australian Chris escaped consequences completely. The writers must've realized his plan ("con a woman out of $5 Million so I can gamble it away in Vegas because...??? " ) was too nonsensical even for Melrose Place and just decided to jettison him asap. There still should've been a scene of him being beaten to death with baseball bats in the Nevada desert by a group of goons led by Frank Vincent.

The whole Donna Teller bit might be the most I've had to stifle my laughter in public while listening to the podcast in a long time, lmao.

Ray

When asked about the concept of "continuity", the show runner for Melrose Place said he thought he had heard the term somewhere before, but went on to state it was not involved in the making of the show.

Billie Jackson

And who can forget everyone's least favorite JAG, Lindsey Graham, of rest in pee fame?

Kuato (and the freedom brigade)

Sorry for the double comment on this one, but I went to school to be a drug/alcohol counselor... you guys are correct lol rehab doesn't work like this, not in any level of care 😂
