MELR0210 #100 90210's "Strangers in the Night" and Melrose Place's "And the Winner Is..." (Patreon)

On our hot, sweaty, August edition of our SoCal TV recap show, we're talking about two fairly solid episodes of our youth-led, primetime soap operas!

First up, on Beverly Hills, 90210, we're chatting about the landmark episode, "Strangers in the Night"! Originally premiering on October 13, 1993, this episode features Dylan whining about needing a new car, Jim Walsh hooking Brenda up with his client's too-cool-for-the-room son, John Sears making further moves trying to win over Kelly, David's graveyard shift at the radio station starting to ruin his home life, and, yes, Andrea losing her virginity to Dan Rubin!

Then, cross-town on Melrose Place, it's the super-uncomfortable episode, "And the Winner Is..." First airing back on February 27, 1995, this episode has Kimberly getting wise to Michael's intentions with Amanda, Sidney purposely getting into hot soup at some road house so Jake will come save her and piss off Jane, Alison super-awkwardly winning an award over Amanda in public, and the debut of Kristin Davis as Brooke Armstrong, the eager advertising clerk that's about to be chewed up and spit out by this cursed apartment complex!

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.
