Locklear's Charms Can't Save Melrose
Heather Locklear's much-publicized return to Melrose Place didn't do much for the ratings. Though The CW is boasting that the show had its “ highest ratings since October 6 ,” Locklear's big debut Tuesday night gained Melrose Place only a little over 100,000 viewers over last week's episode. The show still landed in dead last Place for the evening and was watched by 1.5 million viewers. Producers were hoping Locklear's presence would help boost ratings for the struggling show as...

Ratings: Heather Locklear's return boosts 'Melrose Place' -- just a bit: PHOTO
It's not much of a comeback story, yet. Heather Locklear's heavily hyped return to The CW's remake of "Melrose Place" did provide a bump in the ratings -- but it was nowhere near as big a bump as the flailing series needs. Tuesday's episode drew 1.54 million total viewers, according to overnight estimates -- and indeed, as small as that tally is, it's up 20% from the week prior and the show's best delivery since Oct. 6. "Melrose" also saw upticks in...

Heather Locklear is Bringing 'Melrose' Back
You heard us right and it should come as no surprise. The reboot, which I have actually enjoyed so far, has been suffering severly in the viewership department. The network (The CW) even went as far as to fire...um...I mean...get rid of two of the show's primary actors including Colin Egglesfield (Auggie) and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz. The network felt Auggie's story was too dark and claims Ashlee knew her story was coming to an end. Either way, the show hasn't exactly been performing well ratings...
