Yes, the addition of the trumpet to the music theme in Season 2 makes a world of difference and the turnaround shot for Pamela Sue Martin in Season 2 is awesome.
@@christophepilaire7868 Agree! Love the opening scene. My twin sister and I used to watch this with our mom back then. I used to like the lines across the screen. Looked really cool.
My English Uncle Frank could play the trumpet and he would play this tune on his trumpet and walk about the house early in the morning to wake his kids up and get them out of bed. It really pissed them off. He was an eccentric funny character. He's beeen gone many many years now, but we all often have a chuckle about it now as well as some of his other bizarre antics. We miss you uncle Frank, you old devil.
i LOVE the violins and horns in this 2nd season theme, and the extra TOOTS in between, i really wish they kept THIS particular theme throughout the entire series
Me too! I always looked for Sammy Jo/Heather every week. I read she was only a recurring regular the seasons 2-4. Then permanently in the cast at the time 5-9. Lived for Sammy Jo.
I have not seen this show nor heard this theme song for decades. And yet I woke up at 3:30 AM with this tune playing in my head. The brain is a strange thing!
This music is very, very, very beautiful, melodical and aristocratic. Just perfect for the beginning of this telenovela! Beijos da Bulgaria e do Brasil!!! (Kisses from Bulgaria and Brazil!!! )
What a wonderful time, this show was amazing, glamour, great actors and the best opening ever, Pamela Sue Martin , Al Corley and Joan Collins, were a true joy to watch.Those were the times.
I remember watching this with my mom when I was a young girl, it was our thing. The theme was so regal. I knew when I'd hear it, it was time to run to the tv room.
While in elementary school, me and my friend saw ourselves as some of the male leads (can't remember who was who) and our female school crushes and classmates as female leads. Good times. It's like we upped our everyday lives to something more grandiose through this series. I feel that although deeply fictional, it was a good exercise in developing interpersonal skills.
In my youth I used to watch this and be jealous of them admire them look up to them but now i see how empty this life is now that I'm older and wiser 😁
These old weekend soaps always had such class in their musical scores and introductions. The musical score of Dynasty always reminded me of the introduction of North and South, another masterpiece. All the networks can do now is upchuck reality garbage and politically correct filth.

Blake Carrington or Jock Ewing? I love that trumpet and especially the trumpet interlude. And how cute was Heather Locklear. Lee Bergere played Pres. Lincoln in a Star Trek Episode and Joan Collins played Sister Edith Keeler
Blake was a more refined and less cartoonish version of JR, where Jock was just a bit less of a sweetie-pie than Bobby - and more of a taker than a negotiator.
Although I didn't watch Dynasty, I had an immense appreciation for its theme song. Between it and the theme for Falcon Crest, I feel we were truly blessed. And yeah, both shows had an absolute stable of gorgeous dudes!
the season it became my favorite show of the 80s ...watched for Sammy jo,fallon, and ALEXIS!!! WATCHED HARD FOR THREE SEASONS!! Enjoyed DOMINIQUE AS WELL.
Yaaaas!!! I watched Dynasty (which my daddy referred to as Die nasty) Lol! I can't even remember the theme music sounding any other way. I only remember this one. What an improvement! This one, commanded your attention, when it came on. It just sounds rich, doesn't it?
Love the brass on this arrangment. As a woodwind player, I'd have to imagine the real staccato portion had to be tough to play, as was the high note at the end!
My Grandma loved this show and this theme always stuck in my head, but now I can't unhear the "unofficial lyrics" : Linda Evans And John Forsythe Are coming down big long stairs
OMG i love dynasty show and this theme song ,love the glamour,cat fights everything what a amazing show in the 80's love it !!! :) i love krystal and the alexis cat fights,fallon love also beautifull dynatsy women :)
It's telling that in this season - when she'd only just arrived - Joan Collins isn't in her customary place as the final member of the cast. After this season she was basically the character that the titles were building up to.
Wow My Mom loved this show. I watched it a kid hereband there as well. Havent seen this since the early 80s. All these characters look so young. All the woman were so naturally pretty. Kinda makes ya sad. The theme kinda makes ya feel nostalgic as fuck.
Al Corley was the best Steven, Pamela Sue Martin was the best Fallon and I wish James Farentino had been on the show longer. His exit at the end of Season 2 was anti-climatic and while he's mentioned in Season 3 a few times, he's never seen or heard from again. I was very disappointed about that. Season 2 is pretty good, though. I enjoyed John Saxon's guest appearance.
i agree that things just weren't the same when al corley and PSM left the show, they were the main characters and i wish the producers would've enticed them to stay on the show somehow
@@ih8beingamonkey654 PSM wanted to leave the show because she was getting married and wanted to move on, don’t know about Al ( he did appear in the reunion episode ). Jack did a good job though, a more mature version of the character.
Pamela Sue Martin was the best Fallon and she was a tough cookie in Dynasty. You just can't mess with her. I do believe that Pamela was prettier than Emma Sams. Emma was just too soft in that show.
PSM was a core character, i wish they would've tried to give her more money and more perks to have her stay. She just didn't want all that fame and glitz and glamour i guess?
Je me rappelle de cette musique epique qui me rapel mon enfance aupres de ma mere qui regardait cette serie etant nee en 81 j avais 7ans 8ans que de souvenirs qui s effacent peu a peu avec le temps qui grave des rides sur nos visages quel tfiste monde auj ou nous vivons tt a changer et rien n eT plus comme avant
When originally watching this show back in the day in England, I used to go weak at the knees for Fallon, Sammy Jo etc - now just watching this I'm appreciating how stunning Krystle (Linda Evans) was. Although we all have to age, it's a shame she ruined her looks with so much plastic surgery. Another top-notch piece of music by Bill Conti.
Season 2 intro was much better than season 1 with the trumpet playing the main melody. The shots of the cast also improved: Forsythe looks more elegant and confident sipping brandy by the fire, Corley ripping off his tie, and Joan Collins the femme fatale smoking with a quellazaire.

If you were a kid and heard this song in the distance on the living room tv you knew you were up past your bedtime!
Same with the Magnum PI Theme for me in the 80s.
This !
And Knots Landing
So true
Not me! My twin sister and I watched this with our mom
Now THIS is the “Dynasty” theme I feel comfortable with!
And Al Corley doesn't undo his tie in the Season 1 opening titles!!
@@kevinlongman007 My twin sister and I would watch this with our mom back in the day. We loved the fashion! I always loved this music too.
The season one music was too soft. THIS is the intro the show deserved! Lots of trumpets announcing the arrival of DYNASTY!
Agreed
Amen brother.
Back when TV theme songs were epic.
Back when there were TV themes.
North And South is another epic one!
and casts that happened to be white were permitted! (we didn't think about it :/)
@@thought-provokingvideos5464 still better than most shows today even if the cast was all white
Now it's all just to save money.
Maybe the most beautiful, majestic theme of any TV show ever
We will never see shows like Dallas, Dynasty, Knots Landing, Falcon Crest, Hotel, and the Love Boat again. I loved them all.
I'm OK with no more Love Boat.
And Flamingo Road
@@nwlman The glorious 1980s!!!!!
All one can do is appreciate the fact that one was lucky to have been young when these shows were on.
Don't forget about the show Fantasy Island.
Its amazing how much the opening credits improves over season one.
Exactly my thought as well. They took the best parts of the orig theme and ramped them up.
Yes, the addition of the trumpet to the music theme in Season 2 makes a world of difference and the turnaround shot for Pamela Sue Martin in Season 2 is awesome.
Absolutely true !

I can relate to uncle Frank haha

I remember as a teenager watching the opening credits always hoping Heather Locklear would be in the cast that week. She was so beautiful.
John Nastrom She still is.
When Sammy Jo was in the opening you knew, trouble is coming into the mansion! XD Her part was so funny in the first years...
@@mahmoods2134 Remember when that wall portrait of Pamela Sue Martin was suddenly a portrait of Emma Samms? I was like "Huh?"
John Nastrom me to, then she left for a good bit to do TJ Hooker
Me too! I always looked for Sammy Jo/Heather every week. I read she was only a recurring regular the seasons 2-4. Then permanently in the cast at the time 5-9. Lived for Sammy Jo.
1980’s high drama. Sure miss these times...My teenage years. The oil rig in the Al Corley clip is very phallic. 😆
Gimme John James any day though
Such a subtle touch!
@@QueenCityHistory I just finished watching "The Colbys." He and Maxwell Caulfield made for excellent eye candy.
So I guess fallon with the horsey galloping free in the background means she's a frisky thoroughbread that enjoys breaking loose
@@QueenCityHistory He was my schoolgirl crush.
I remember being hooked on Dallas, Knots Landing and Dynasty in the 80s :)

No one yanks off a bow-tie and tears open the top button of his tuxedo shirt better than Al Corley.
100% The BEST Steven Carrington!!
Lol such an overly dramatic clip. Meanwhile, everyone else looks relaxed.
Pamela sue Martin, gutted when she left the show , but probably left after seeing the ridiculous script to next season after that cliffhanger
Wednesday night Dynasty, Friday night Dallas! I miss those days!
What a wonderful time, this show was amazing, glamour, great actors and the best opening ever, Pamela Sue Martin , Al Corley and Joan Collins, were a true joy to watch.Those were the times.
Sad to hear that the original siblings will leave eventually 🥲. I am halfway through season 2.
I remember watching this with my mom when I was a young girl, it was our thing. The theme was so regal. I knew when I'd hear it, it was time to run to the tv room.
They got the music just right with the opening credits for Season 2 of Dynasty!
That was when it blew up, that’s when 90210 blew up too, second season
The added horn made this epic. Opening season was great but this is the stuff of nostalgia.
I love this intro...ever since I was a kid ~2019
Beautiful trumpet's song! I love it!
While in elementary school, me and my friend saw ourselves as some of the male leads (can't remember who was who) and our female school crushes and classmates as female leads. Good times. It's like we upped our everyday lives to something more grandiose through this series. I feel that although deeply fictional, it was a good exercise in developing interpersonal skills.
I absolutely love this music!
I miss shows like this. R.I.P. Aaron Spelling
when I was a young boy watching Dynasty back in the 80's...this theme song ALWAYS made run to the television and listen.
In my youth I used to watch this and be jealous of them admire them look up to them but now i see how empty this life is now that I'm older and wiser 😁
Back when the cast wasn't too big and all the originals were still there. Claudia was the best and Al Corley was cute.
This brings back memories and makes me miss long show opens. My punishment was not being able to watch Dynasty when I got in trouble.
My grandmother used to love this show. Her name was Lillian, too.
it's been more than 40 yrs ago when I watched these movie series, still i remember its theme song today. I often hum this song
Even as a child, I was watching this and other programs with the elderly adults 🤠
These old weekend soaps always had such class in their musical scores and introductions. The musical score of Dynasty always reminded me of the introduction of North and South, another masterpiece. All the networks can do now is upchuck reality garbage and politically correct filth.
Both themes are composed by Bill Conti...
Bill Conti was a master! This theme and the “North & South” theme will never be topped.
"Politically correct filth?" I can't even guess what that means! I assume it means that you miss all-white casts.
@@Tracymmo No, Diahann Carroll especially and Billy Dee Williams were included in the opening titles during their time on the show
It never happened with Dallas..There was a lot of 'alleged' racism from Leonard Katzman that stopped black actors being hired for a prominent part in that show
Even Knots Landing didn't have any prominent black actors until towards the end of its run
Dynasty got there first...Gay characters like Steven and Luke, and then Bart Fallmont..Black and mixed race characters like Dominique and her daughter Jackie who was fathered by Garrett Boydston
Dynasty was far more diverse and more reflective and progressive in portraying a mixture of people that most of us know in real life
@@Tracymmo Sure, why not have some of that for a change, we have all-black cast tv shows and movies now anyways.
Blake Carrington or Jock Ewing? I love that trumpet and especially the trumpet interlude. And how cute was Heather Locklear. Lee Bergere played Pres. Lincoln in a Star Trek Episode and Joan Collins played Sister Edith Keeler
Blake was a more refined and less cartoonish version of JR, where Jock was just a bit less of a sweetie-pie than Bobby - and more of a taker than a negotiator.
American Royalty! And one show I did get hooked on in my youth.
The television themes back then were better and higher art than pop music of today.
The amount of stars and guest stars in this show had roles in Star Trek and Star Wars was astounding.
All I can say is class!
I never watched an episode of this... didn't have to. The theme contained enough emotion and beauty already.
Although I didn't watch Dynasty, I had an immense appreciation for its theme song. Between it and the theme for Falcon Crest, I feel we were truly blessed. And yeah, both shows had an absolute stable of gorgeous dudes!
When opening credits were 2 minutes long and fun to watch and not the 5 seconds of today.
the season it became my favorite show of the 80s ...watched for Sammy jo,fallon, and ALEXIS!!! WATCHED HARD FOR THREE SEASONS!! Enjoyed DOMINIQUE AS WELL.
The 1980s with Miami vice and dynasty just rocked the '80s
Yaaaas!!! I watched Dynasty (which my daddy referred to as Die nasty) Lol! I can't even remember the theme music sounding any other way. I only remember this one. What an improvement! This one, commanded your attention, when it came on. It just sounds rich, doesn't it?
My brothers called it dysentery!
They made the theme music so much better in season 2 in comparison to season 1.
The best years of American dream..
I miss this show
The best theme from the whole series.. It’s very intense , it seemed to get quieter and wimpy sounding. Love the trumpet 💕😂👑💍🎩👛🎺
Love the brass on this arrangment. As a woodwind player, I'd have to imagine the real staccato portion had to be tough to play, as was the high note at the end!
It's so hard in Trumpet!
@@FACUNDOTROMPETA pocket Trumpet at the end right???
Love this theme! So Majestic!
My Grandma loved this show and this theme always stuck in my head, but now I can't unhear the "unofficial lyrics" :
Linda Evans
And John Forsythe
Are coming down big long stairs
Brings back many memories
Tv 📺 intros used to be so epic ......
so reminds me of high school!
I always liked when they added the horn for season 2.
I haven't been the same since this show went off the air .......:(
I love Dyansty! My Mama loved Dallas.
I loved both shows.
Yep! Wednesday and Friday Nights respectively, 9:00 pm Eastern!
OMG i love dynasty show and this theme song ,love the glamour,cat fights everything what a amazing show in the 80's love it !!! :) i love krystal and the alexis cat fights,fallon love also beautifull dynatsy women :)
Great theme song !
I like how one can tell which ones can't act just from the intro sequence. Good music.
It's telling that in this season - when she'd only just arrived - Joan Collins isn't in her customary place as the final member of the cast. After this season she was basically the character that the titles were building up to.
Yes, I couldn't help but mutter "What the f*ck is James Farentino doing with Joan's "And..." credit?
I so miss these shows and those days.
I loved growing up with shows like this in the 80s. All these wondrous rich folks who wore tuxedos and hung out on yachts and drank martinis.
This show is increible
Never saw the show. But I def remember this classic theme song. So upper crust. 😅
Season 2 - the best!!
Memories
i also love knots landing another amazing show :)
I love this
The 80's had the best TV shows music nothing sucked back then
80's TV was all about POWER & WEALTH....and of course what comes with it....misery !!
Rest in Peace mom GIS. I love you forever.....
To this day, I get Pamela Sue Martin, Melissa Sue Anderson, and Pamela Denise Anderson mixed up.
....and Pamela Bellwood. lol
I can't even watch the new Dynasty bc I miss the original so much :(
Just like falcon crest this version is exalting
I did used to watch it actually!
I love it !
Fantabulous!!!
I love this song the entry of dynasty the credits
Wow

I wished they would have casted Angela Cartwright for Fallon!

My 3 favourites serie 80 music
1. Mcgyver
2. Dynasty
3. Great hero american
I love season 2
Fallon look so pretty in that red evening gown I love her painting
Je me rappelle de cette musique epique qui me rapel mon enfance aupres de ma mere qui regardait cette serie etant nee en 81 j avais 7ans 8ans que de souvenirs qui s effacent peu a peu avec le temps qui grave des rides sur nos visages quel tfiste monde auj ou nous vivons tt a changer et rien n eT plus comme avant
what an Era
perfection
Very nice.
dynasty i think good beautiful actors and nice to see on tv
0:45 It’s the middle trumpet part
Musicians... This is really how they sounds.
I wonder why Al Corley and Pamela Sue Martin quit so soon into the success of this show? They were more believable as siblings
Al corley wanted more money. Pamela sue Martin wanted to do other projects.
This is Filoli - 00:13 If you're in the Bay Area in California, you can visit. It's absolutely breathtaking.
in West Germany always on Second TV Program ZDF every Wednesday from 9pm to 9.45pm .. a must that time
JOAN COLLINS,,,LA MEJOR,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
1982 !!! 😇
merci pour cette beauté si rare a l'écran
Why don't they have shows like this anymore? It's all reality or game shows! What a shame. At least we were able to enjoy these shows.
