I didn't remember Barbara Stanwick being involved with The Colby's. Would have been interesting to see some scenes with her and Linda Evans; her TV daughter from The Big Valley in the 60's.
Dianhann Carroll actually got more to do in "The Colbys" than she did in "Dynasty". It really is spot the wig with the male actors in "The Colbys" though!
yes i loved domonique, but sadly the producers didnt know what to do with her character on dynasty so they just threw her over to the colbys as needed so she wouldnt be bored i guess, but she was by far the fiercest prime time diva of all time! i LOVE diahann!
Myrna Laboy I do too also the other 2 prime time shows I remember that was Knot's Landing & Falcon Crest gosh !!! they just don't make them like primetime shows like that anymore. Take *Care Myrna. 📺 & 📺 3-30-19
I agree with DarthCipient, in my country there are several tv series from murderers, criminals and police teams. . . I really miss the 80 and 90s with Dynasty, The Colbys, Falcon Crest and Melrose Place and Titans.
Even though THE COLBYS paled in comparison to DYNASTY, it was still fun...At least when Barbara Stanwyck was on there. LOVED Bill Conti's theme. And, I gotta agree with DarthCipient on this one. The 80's shows were perfect escapist entertainment. Hell, I even loved MIAMI VICE, although it clashed with my viewing of both DALLAS and FALCON CREST (DALLAS won), so I had to catch MIAMI VICE in reruns. And, at least the shows back then weren't like 24, right-wing propaganda disguised as entertainment!
Hey, that's great!!! I watched her on a British Show called Bad Girls where she played a convict named Phyl who along with her best friend Bev was doing time for fraud. Selling Real Estate which was swamp land and raising money for orphans that they pocketed themselves.
That's really cute Calbrini. I heard about a woman who was such a big fan of The Young & The Restless that she would imitate the opening sequence when it came on. Also, the lady who played Sable, Stephanie Beecham was on a popular British Series called "Bad Girls" where she played a glamorous con artist doing five years for selling bogus real-estate and fraudulent charities.
the whole fallon with tspaceship killed this show but i loved it till then my fave dynasty/colbys scene is when blake loses the house aand alexis throws krystals furs off the rail and says and take these rages with you
Didn't know how they would remedy that stupid spaceship plot. Just as well the show was cancelled, because the writing was so bad! All that wasted talent in actors and actresses and nothing good for them to do/say.
No. The spaceship ending was imposed to try to get the show renewed, when the ratings were falling by generating interest. The strategy failed. But it wasn’t the spaceship that killed the show.
@DarthCipient Totally agree! This is class back in the 80's and whilst growing up watching this, it brought style, class and sophiscation to the TV screen. Dont watch much American shows now as they are dreadful eps. all the Crime dramas now or teenage shows like Glee, Dawsons Creek etc.
Back in the 1980's we had awesome shows like this which were really escapist fantasies about people so rich and classy they were virtually royalty. But it was all incredibly entertaining to watch. These days, everything is based on fucking courtrooms and crime investigation. I don't give a shit how a bullet enters a body or watching a show featuring a damn sex crime every episode for season upon season. People please, don't watch that McShit. Don't encourage television producers. I beg you.
Great actors and actresses, great backgrounds and sets, great theme music, but the writers never came up with any interesting plot lines nor dialogue. All that wasted talent and resources went to waste. Charlton Heston and Barbara Stanwyck? It had everything to be great show, except any reason to watch. Why?
Bliss Colby was like the Paris Hilton of the 80's!

I still miss all the primetime soaps. Primarily Dynasty and Dallas.

that theme is SO extra LOL
Odd theme - starts off as Dynasty, and turns into Superman.
Man that "White Shadow" guy could really smoke a cigar.
When I were younger Jack Coleman here reminded me of Sting, now he makes me think of Ken from Streetfighter II
YES! I have to agree.

Stephanie was also in Coronation Street after Bad Girls ended. Amanda Barrie who played Phyl's friend Bev was in Corrie before Bad Girls

I always loved this theme, however the show was HORRIBLE!!!
Great actors, wonderful settings, inspiring soundtrack, no good writers. No interesting plots.
What an AWFUL theme tune! Not a patch on Dynasty.
