[QUOTE="ChrisSumner, post: 432546, member: 759"] Two shows mentioned that I loved were Sex, Love and Secrets and North Shore. With North Shore, it had a strong cast and a good location but much like early Melrose Place, it was too earnest when it started. I thought the show really picked up when Shannen Doherty joined and I was disappointed it didn't continue. I think it could've easily broken out in a second season. Now Sex, Love and Secrets was a huge flop but I remember being shocked at how enjoyable it was. It had a great cast and Denise Richards did a great job leading the show. Unlike North Shore, it went full on Melrose Place from day one. I'm not sure why exactly it didn't work, maybe the bad title? Two that haven't been mentioned yet, both from Fox: Pasadena - This show starred Dana Delaney as the head of a rich family with tons of secrets. It was a very strong show that should've lasted longer. The cast also included Mark Valley, Natasha Gregson Wagner and Balthazar Getty.
