Gone but not forgotten

continued from page 1
Melrose Place
Brought to life by the creators of Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose served up the same heaped portions of self-indulgent characters and backstabbing friendships. The cast on this show saw plenty of action, with a total of 75 relationships in its seven-season run. Spin City star Heather Locklear ruled the roost as Amanda, resident diva and queen bee.

First aired in US: 1992
Number of seasons: 7
Premise: Dynasty set in a California apartment complex.
Original cast: Josie Bissett (Jane Mancini), Thomas Calabro (Dr Michael Mancini), Amy Locane (Sandy Louise Harling), Doug Savant (Matt Fielding), Grant Show (Jake Hanson), Andrew Shue (Billy Campbell), Courtney Thorne-Smith (Alison Parker) and Vanessa Williams (Rhonda Blair)
High point: When Kimberly and Sydney tussled over Michael. Or was that when Jane and Sydney tussled over Michael? With four marriages and 11 lovers under his belt, the guy certainly got around.
Low point: When Brooke (played by Sex and the City co-star Kristen Davis) drowned in the infamous pool and later appeared as a ghost.
Famous guest stars: Loni Anderson, Priscilla Presley, Gina Gershon
Lamest attempt to raise ratings: Let's face it ? this show was one big scandalous stunt.

Moonlighting
Back in the days before Bruce Willis attained action-star status, he got his first taste of fame on this hour-long show. Willis and Cybill Shepherd co-starred as David Addison and Maddie Hayes, a pair of private eyes at the Blue Moon Detective Agency, whose witty banter and sexual tension sustained 67 episodes.

First aired in US: 1985
Number of seasons: 5
Premise: The Odd Couple set in a detective agency.
Original cast: Cybill Shepherd (Maddie Hayes), Bruce Willis (David Addison), Allyce Beasley (Agnes DiPesto)
High point: When they spoofed The Taming of the Shrew in season three.
Low point: When David and Maddie finally got it on, causing the show's signature sexual tension to fly out the window.
Famous guest stars: Pierce Brosnan, Whoopi Goldberg, Don King
Lamest attempt to raise ratings: Recruiting Mark Harmon to join the cast as Maddie's ex-boyfriend.
