But How Did Melrose Place?

melrose_ratings.jpg

The ratings are in for The CW's heavily hyped Melrose Place redo, and they're...perfectly average. The series premiere brought in 2.3 million viewers (a loss from lead-in 90210's 2.6 million), a rating that the network probably hoped the show would settle into, not debut with. Guess they should have hired D&D Advertising. [EW]

    And fired Ashelee Simpson Wentz.

    if this teaches us anything, it's that Ashlee Simpson is nobody's Shena Grimes. They should have cast Adamo Ruggiero in that role.
    I guess hindsight is 20/20.

    i'll keep watching just for the Ella character, but ashlee simpson-wentz-wentz simpson was absolutely horrible. i had to rewind one of her line readings because i couldn't tell what the hell she was implying. if she ended up face down in the pool, they'd be looking for the murderer to congratulate them.
