MELR0210 #95 Melrose Place's "They Shoot Mothers, Don't They?" (Patreon)

On this month's wild-ass MELR0210, we're talking a double-dose of Melrose Place as we cover the 90-minute, sweeps-week episode, "They Shoot Mothers, Don't They?"!

Originally airing back on January 16, 1995, this episode was clearly to prove to the network that this show could get crazier and crazier and folks will tune in, in droves! We've got Alison's relationship with professional QB Terry Parsons, her rehab buddy, flaming out spectacularly after he botches "the big game." We've also got Peter and Caitlin's plan to takeover D&D imploding thanks to Amanda and Mike Mancini. Jo is the titular mother who gets shot in the back by Reed's father while trying to re-abduct her deceased (on-paper) baby, of course. Oh, and the show starts teeing up Sydney joining a cult, which can't miss, right? Hell yeah, this show rules.

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.
