While we regularly dissect the likes of Melrose Place, Central Park West, Models Inc and Savannah, there's a collection of 90's soaps that barely get a mention on here. This could be for good reason (they were sh*te) but I know little about them and was wondering what peoples memories (if any) of these shows are. There's a few that can be found online but there's others that there is very little trace of.
Winnetka Road
Short-lived suburban soap starring Josh Brolin and the mother from 7th Heaven. I only recently discovered that Aaron Spelling was involved in the production and that all episodes are online. Is it worth a look? From what I've read, it's kind of in the same region as Sisters in terms of soapiness.
Angel Falls
A post Twin Peaks Peggy Lipton, a pre-Models Inc Cassidy Rae and a brown haired Kim Cattrall were among the cast. It aired in the Knots Landing Thursday 10pm timeslot on CBS, the fall after KL ended. Did they promote it as a Knots replacement?
Second Chances / Hotel Malibu
Short-lived pair of interconnected shows that also aired in the old Knots slot, the season after it ended it's run. The shows get an occasional mention these days because Jennifer Lopez starred in both of them.
The Monroes
I'd love to see this show but there's very little online except a clip and a promo. Susan Sullivan and William Devane play the parents of a Kennedy-esque political dynasty. Was there much coverage of this when it launched or did Central Park West grab all the soapy headlines that fall?
