Thorne-Smith finds the response to "According to Jim" vastly different
from the heat that surrounded "Melrose Place," the trendy 1990s FOX
serial on which she played Alison Parker for five seasons. "That was a
certain time in people's lives," she reflects."Our fan base was so
young, and they were just crazy about it." The actress muses that the
current repeats of the show on Style let her "see a lot of bad hair
days again. I've been watching 'The O.C.' lately, and it brings back
so many 'Melrose' memories."
Actually, Thorne-Smith is hoping to make a few more: She wants to
initiate a on-air "Melrose Place" reunion "like the 'Beverly Hills,
90210' cast did. I recently ran into Daphne Zuniga (who played Jo
Reynolds in 'Melrose') and we talked about getting everybody back
together. I said, 'Yeah ... but let's get somebody to pay us to do
it.' I'm still very good friends with a vice president at FOX, so I'm
going to pitch it to her. Wouldn't a 'Melrose' TV movie be hysterical?
I think we should all have the same clothes and the same hairstyles
and be living in the same apartments. Nobody would be surprised."
