    Dynasty - The Official Thread for all things Carrington & Colby

    I stand corrected. Yes, it was People's Choice.

    Oh what the heck. And a little more.

    A little bit of Dynasty fun from the archives.

    Dynasty - The Official Thread for all things Carrington & Colby

    Dynasty The Reunion can be ordered from Aussie indie label, Viavision on DVD. It is region free and will play anywhere in the world. Picture quality is excellent. Alas, nothing can help this chestnut. It's still awful. And bringing back Al Corley to play Steven made NO sense at all. Do we just...

    Yeah, but remember how he died. In drag. And he looked totally silly in it.

    Martin wanted to leave. She thought she'd return to making movies. You'll recall, she was in the original Poseidon Adventure, and, of course, played Nancy Drew on TV. But it didn't happen for her again after Dynasty.

    Dynasty - The Official Thread for all things Carrington & Colby

    John Forsythe said he found out the show wasn't coming back two weeks before he was set to return to the studio to begin rehearsals for another season. Aaron Spelling begged the network to allow him a 2-part, 4-hour finale to tie up all the loose ends. But it was all vetoed as the network...

    Dynasty - The Official Thread for all things Carrington & Colby

    The real problem with The Colbys was that, after killing off Barbara Stanwyck's matriarch, Constance, the show had to rely on Stephanie Beecham's Sable to carry the load. Always thought Maxwell Caufield's Miles was thoroughly wasted and lost in the shuffle here. Eye candy without a purpose, once...

    Dynasty - The Official Thread for all things Carrington & Colby

    Too little, too late. After Season 5's Moldavian Massacre cliffhanger, the show had nowhere to go but down. And it did - fast. First, by not killing off any significant cast members in that hellacious slaughter that seemed to put every major player's future with the series in jeopardy. Instead...

    After the first three episodes in Season 1 of The Colbys the Dynasty II tag was dropped.

    That scene was excellent for Alexis' brutal dialogue: "Oh yes, Blake. I now own this house. So, take this cheap junk (tossing Krystle's furs over the bannister) and your blonde tramp and get out." Nobody could play the uber-bitch like Joan Collins. Sad, what happened to the series when it...

    If CBS were right with the Lord, we'd be getting a Blu-ray deluxe of Dynasty and Dynasty II and Dynasty: the reunion, plus, the superb Brit-made doc., Dynasty: The Truth Behind the Rumors, and E! - The True Hollywood Story, and, the plethora of other Dynasty featurettes, interviews and outtakes...

    Dynasty - The Official Thread for all things Carrington & Colby

    You can't go back, folks. Dynasty, like Dallas was a product of the 1980's - a decade where spend/spend and go/go were the norm and living well in America meant you drove a Bentley and shopped for your clothes on Rodeo Drive. Would absolutely kill for some third party distributor to give the...

    Dynasty - The Official Thread for all things Carrington & Colby

    Well, personally, I think Dynasty is a series that deserves a reissue on Blu-ray a la Mill Creek; the costumes, the sets, etc. Since the series was shot on film not tape the quality of a remastered Blu would be incredible. I have been bugging Mill Creek to pursue this franchise for some time...

    Dynasty - The Official Thread for all things Carrington & Colby

    Personally, I always felt the Moldavian massacre was the best of the cliffhangers for Dynasty, the show falling apart in its aftermath; what with only two secondary characters biting the dust when the show came back for Season 6; Steven's gay lover and Jeff's paramour - a simple way to get two...

    Dynasty - The Official Thread for all things Carrington & Colby

    Dynasty and Dynasty II: The Colbys - two series that would look utterly spectacular in hi-def, given Nolan Miller's elaborate costuming. We won't see the day, but that doesn't stop me from dreaming of it.

    I'm not a big fan of this idea - sort of a Dynasty Jr. as they've already done with Dallas. What is Dallas without Larry Hagman? Just a nice piece of real estate with a light breeze blowing off the tumbleweed. Watch out for the cow patties. :D What I think would be of more interest is a...

    The era of the primetime television soap opera reached its zenith in 1984 with the Moldavian massacre; the ‘84/’85 season cliffhanger to Aaron Spelling’s glam-bam zeitgeist, Dynasty (1981-89): the highest rated episode of this perennial favorite – triumphing in the Nielsen’s over the...

    Dynasty - The Official Thread for all things Carrington & Colby

    Now, here is a vintage 80's show that ought to have been on Blu-ray a long time ago. Perhaps no other TV show more influenced a generation in terms of fashion. Can anyone forget the perfume brand created "especially for Crystal", or the trend in women's clothes toward turbans and VERY larger...
