Status: Found

Date found: 23 Dec 2020

Models Inc. was a short-lived primetime soap opera that aired on the Fox network from June 29th, 1994, to March 6th, 1995.^[1] The series was a spin-off of the successful primetime soap Melrose Place, which itself was a spin-off of the long-running series Beverly Hills, 90210.^[2]^[3]

The series revolved around a Los Angeles modelling agency named Models Inc, which is run by Hillary Michaels (played by Linda Gray), the estranged mother of Melrose Place character Amanda Woodward.^[4] Many of the show's plot points were typical soap opera clichés, a significant plot being a former madam named Grayson Louder (played by Emma Samms) who plots revenge on her ex-husband after he falls in love with the doppelganger of the late supermodel Teri Spencer, who died in the pilot episode. Models Inc. ended on a cliffhanger, which left many storylines unresolved, but an alternate ending featuring a character's death and Hillary shutting down the agency aired only in Europe.^[1]

Models Inc. has not received a home video release since it initially aired on television. Still, most of the series (with the exception of two episodes) has been uploaded to Dailymotion.

As of December 23rd, 2020, all of the Dailymotion videos have been taken down. However, YouTuber Emma Samms Superfan has uploaded and mirrored all of the episodes, though unfortunately, the channel by the latter user was taken down. Fortunately, a reupload of the whole series was uploaded to the Internet Archive by an Internet Archive user, MoRooms.
