Melrose Place 

Melrose Place is an American television primetime soap opera that aired on Fox in the United States from July 8, 1992, to May 24, 1999 for seven seasons. The show was created by Darren Star for Fox network and executive produced by Aaron Spelling for Spelling Television. It is the second series in the Beverly Hills, 90210 franchise. The show is set in a small apartment courtyard complex in the West Hollywood district of Los Angeles, where several young individuals reside, each with their own dreams and drives. It was a teen oriented show in the first season, but when short term situations proved unpopular, it was rewritten for adults, and became a sexy, dirty, scandalous soap opera, and pop culture phenomenon for the 1990's.
Person 1- I watched Melrose Place last night.
Person 2- Oh, that show about a drama filled apartment complex from the 90's?
Person 1- You know it.

Barry Melrose 

An individual who is constantly living in the past and glorifying in his own ignorance of the here and now.

A man who gets sexually aroused by the houliganism regularly employed by the Philadelphia Flyers.

An empty-headed, big-haired douchbag of mimbo who set the record for the coach who was fired the quickest into an NHL season.
Barry: I remember when people liked me and I was a respected member of the NHL community like it was yesterday. That's because it was yesterday, cause I'm still great and everyone knows it.
Stranger: I do not know who you are or why you are talking to me, but you are currently naked and standing in horseshit.

I didn't think I could get any hornier after that finger-biting Flyers game, but I just watched a bum-fighting video and now I can barely contain myself. I now know how Barry Melrose must feel.

Barry: The Flyers will win the Stanley Cup this year, because they went out and got a bunch of really tough guys.
Expert: You are such a Barry Melrose. Don't you know that the NHL has changed and skilled teams like the Penguins and the Red Wings are now the trend setters.

Melrose Park 

Melrose Park is a suburb of Chicago, IL, and has a mixture of middle-class and working-class citizens, many of whom have lived there their whole lives. Historically, Melrose Park had a huge Italian population, but from the late 1980s to now (2010), there has been an influx of Hispanic immigrants (largest groups being Mexican, Puerto Rican, and Colombian). Probably the biggest business in Melrose Park is restaurants--whether you're White, Hispanic, Black, Blue, Purple, people in Melrose Park love food! There are some really nice Mexican/Hispanic restaurants and fast food/take-out places, as well as several cafés and Italian restaurants in town, a *really* good one being Abruzzo's. One problem, though: if you're going to eat inside any time between noon and 5:00, don't count on it being peaceful, because lots of older Italian men (like the Police and Fire chiefs, for example) tend to hang out there, drink some vino, and talk *really loudly*, often with swearing. Bringing little kids there during this time might not be the best idea, unless of course said men are behaving themselves. But the food is excellent! Melrose Park also has great pizza places. Some things Melrose Park is famous for: the former amusement park Kiddieland (which closed down in 2009); birthplace of theatre actress Carol Lawrence, who was the original Maria in the stage production West Side Story; and birthplace of basketball player Michael Finley. We're also (in)famous for political scandals.
"So hey girl, I went to Melrose Park the other day, in La Selva, and this fuckin pindeho called me a gordita. I'm finna beat his ass!"

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
