MELR0210 #47 - 90210's "Down and Out of District in Beverly Hills" & Melrose Place's "Suspicious Minds" (Patreon)

It's our monthly trip back to the gorgeous Los Angeles of the Go-Go 90s!

First up on 90210, it's the total ass-clencher episode, "Down and Out of District in Beverly Hills"! Originally airing October 17, 1991, this episode has Brandon outing Andrea for scamming the school district, Steve Sanders being gross in a limo with a woman who's dating him for his money, and Dylan McKay... chopping some carrots! 

Then over on Melrose Place, we finally get to the season one finale, "Suspicious Minds." Originally airing May 26, 1993, this is a double-sized episode that has Alison groveling at the feet of Amanda once again, Billy hilariously getting beat up by Keith, Amanda losing the baby, Michael continuing his affair with Kimberly, and Rhonda getting a huge, dramatic, poignant send-off—lol just kidding! She and Terrence go out for Chinese food and decide to finally get married. Bye, Rhonda! Sorry that this show never, ever tried to figure out your character in any way whatsoever!

MELR0210 is a WHM podcast where the guys blissfully stroll through the Beverly Hills, 90210 and Melrose Place timelines. The TV episodes covered will run in broadcast order, but the gang may skip duller 'sodes in order to keep the focus on the nitty, the gritty, and the downright bizarre. Thanks so much for continuing to support the WHM Patreon!
