Reception
The series premiere earned good ratings, ranking in at #2 in the Nielsen ratings. CBS ordered four more episodes of the series, but canceled it after six episodes. According to executive producer Aaron Spelling, the series was set to be renewed, but producers could not come to terms on license fees. However, Lisa Hartman had another version: as "2000 Malibu Road" was facing "Melrose Place" in the same timeslot, Spelling was competiting with himself and didn't want to weaken "Melrose Place".

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
