Rewatching Central Park West

[Carrie Fairchild]

To add, I'm sure CPW also aired in weeknight primetime and was repeated on Saturday afternoon on Sky from seeing schedules (could be wrong).

According to this promo, it aired Mondays at 8pm. I didn't know about the weekend rerun but it makes sense that Sky were trying to give it a lot of exposure considering how big 90210 and MP were for them around that time. I do however remember a few of those short-lived 90's soaps (Pacific Palisades, CPW, Malibu Shores) getting a late night rerun on Saturday nights in the late 90's / early 00's.

Thanks for that.

I'm surprised Channel 5 never picked up Malibu Shores for a repeat, given 2 of the stars were in their most successful show, and they were repeating a few Spelling shows at the time.

They repeated the revival of Burke's Law, first shown on ITV, due to the fact the son of Gene Barry's character just happened to play Eddie Connors on Sunset Beach.

I believe 90210, Melrose Place and 2000 Malibu Road (which they aired in miniseries format) were the only 90's primetime soaps they showed. Malibu Shores wasn't aired on any UK terrestrial channel, so it would've been ripe for a Saturday morning/afternoon repeat where Five aired other soaps.

Agreed.

Yep, they did show 2000 Malibu Road in 2 hour blocks in the afternoon film slot for 3 days to show all 6 episodes.

Malibu Shores would have been better than the dreadful USA High that they did buy in.

A sort of Saved by The Bell (as it was from Peter Engel) set in Paris (but was taped in Los Angeles). Famous for Kristen Miller as Ashley Elliot, sporting an awful British accent, although Kristen was born in LA. There was also Jamie Lee Curtis's brother in law, Nicholas Guest, in it, and Josh Holland, the son of director Tom Holland.

Ironically Nine aired CPW in the same original timeslots as Chances on a Tuesday night. (8.30pm, then 9.30pm when the latter was cut to once a week, and most of the original cast was written out).

RIP Raquel

I watch that and I’m reminded of what an underrated actress she really was. I thought she had such charisma.

R.I.P.

Kylie Travis was so charismatic, it's really surprising that she ended her career just a few years after "Models Inc" and "Central Park West".

She got married rich.

I liked her in Gia too but as @tommie said, she married rich and settled down.

Darren Star’s "Central Park West" was supposed make CBS, the aging "Tiffany network," younger and hipper. What went wrong?
