Dynasty - The Second Season (1981)

As fresh today as it was 30 years ago

The hair! The clothes! The jewels! The cars! The furnishings!

There never was, and there never will be again, a show like Dynasty. Revenge, greed, lust, homosexuality, abortion, miscarriage, adultery--it's all here and it's a tasty treat indeed.

John Forsythe is the very image of corporate power and Linda Evans is a modern-day Melanie Hamilton, sweet and kind but with a steely resolve when it comes to family. But it's Joan Collins who walks away with the show. She doesn't get her "look" until about the 8th episode, and when she does it's a flashback to that super-sophisticated 1940s Hollywood glamour. She wears her designer hats and turbans like a true diva, and delivers her acid-dipped lines with great style and flair. You just can't look at anyone else when she's on screen.

Also, given our country's dealings in the Middle East, the show's setting in the business of oil gives it a very
contemporary feel. After nearly 30 years, it's amazing how little the storyline has dated. June 25, 2008

Hope the next season comes earlier that this one took March 8, 2008

one of the best soap series

Season two of Dynasty gets better and better with the arrival of superbitch Alexis! Glamour, elegance, great costumes and a lot of bitching. Fabulous serie.
Why, oh, why does it take sooooo long to release season 3 to 9???
Dallas is already at season eight and even "Alf" is completely released on DVD?!?! The studio seems to forget that Dynasty was at one point the number 1 show on TV!!! And all the fans are still alive and waiting to buy it. And it was even more popular than Dallas here in Europe. So, please release the other seasons and don't forget to release the two seasons of "The Colby's". February 17, 2008

Dynasty and Another World connection

I just read an article about how the Shapiro's (Dynasty creators) were good friends with Harding Lemay (Another World writer from 1976-1980). The name Carrington was "borrowed" from Iris Carrington from AW and the Krystal, Blake, Fallon triangle was mirrored after Rachel, Mac and Iris. Some of the scenes in Season One of Dynasty were so familiar with scenes on the Classic daytime soap Another World. Claudia having to reveal that she had an affair with Steven on the witness stand was very similar to Mac discovering he wasn't the father of Rachel's baby on AW. Great soap writing on both shows.

PLEASE RELEASE THE REST!!!!!

Why is it, that other shows, eg; "I Love Lucy", "The Andy Griffith Show","Get Smart", "Friends", and countless other shows, have released COMPLETE SERIES Box sets, and they cant do the same with "Dynasty"?...What's the holdup??? Please release the rest of this fantastic show. Alot of people are patiently waiting, so please don't dissapoint us.
