Pacific Palisades S1:E2

Welcome to the Neighborhood

A new nighttime soap from producer Aaron Spelling, set in an upscale Southern California community. ""It's a friendly neighborhood,"" says Spelling, ""but I don't think [the characters] are friends. Everybody's trying to get more than they've got.""

As the Hadleys adjust to their new home, they meet other denizens of the area, including Jessica, Robert's employee (and lover); and Laura, an aggressive real-estate agent who sets her sights on Nick.
