[QUOTE="Carrie Fairchild, post: 441119, member: 673"] It may have felt like it was on for longer because the five episodes aired across six weeks, with the premiere being aired twice in its first week. I think the success of [I]90210[/I] and [I]Melrose[/I] drove networks to keep commissioning soaps in the 90’s, without them realising that those shows were a specific part of the zeitgeist that couldn’t really be replicated. In the 1995 season alone, [I]The Monroes, Central Park West, Malibu Shores[/I] and [I]Live Shot[/I] all floundered. [I]Savannah[/I] was the only new kid on the block that season that got a renewal but its success proved shortlived. It definitely has elements of both of those shows but [I]Dirty Sexy Money[/I] was a better soap and [I]The West Wing[/I] was a better political drama. [/QUOTE]
