It's official: The CW cancels MELROSE PLACE #duh'
Recently, veteran Melrose Place star Thomas Calabro stated that he believes Melrose 2.0 will be back for a second season.
Will you be tuning in tonight for Melrose Place?
The actor told E! Online,
"Right now, we're airing our first five or six episodes internationally, and I think the show's a big international hit. That's enough to bring a show back.
"The original Melrose Place struggled at first, too, and it ended up being a hit for seven seasons," Calabro continued. "We ended up being a defining mark of the '90s, and I don't see any reason why that can't happen again." READ MORE
The CW has renewed Vampire Diaries, Gossip Girl, 90210, Supernatural and America's Next Top Model, according to The Live Feed. No official word on Melrose Place, Smallville, One Tree Hill and Life Unexpected.

Melrose Place is as good as canned, but could One Tree Hill be headed for SOAPnet if The CW doesn't renew it? According to Spoiler TV it may just happen.
One Tree Hill: There are some messy contracts and negotiations and it could go either way but even if renewed it will likely have budget cuts and maybe lose more cast members and producers. SOAPnet has the option of renewing it if the CW were to cancel it.
Fans can reportedly expect official renewal announcements for Gossip Girl, 90210, Smallville, Supernatural, America's Next Top Model and The Vampire Diaries later this month.

In the "Which The CW Series Has Been the Best this Fall?" post I mentioned that that Gossip Girl has been a disappointment for me this fall, but I wouldn't say it is the worst. Melrose Place has struggled to find an identity, but was miles ahead of 90210 which has been, well, 90210.

Which The CW Series was the worst this Fall?
With Christmas coming soon and the midseason TV series debuts in January not far behind, we're taking a look back at the 2009 Fall TV season. First up, The CW with its teen centric programming. By CW standards Vampire Diaries has been a ratings and demographic success, but Melrose Place has underwhelmed. Personally, I think Gossip Girl has been a disappointment this season, but just when I'm ready to throw something at my TV they pull off an episode like the Thanksgiving episode and suck me back in.
