Watching this show..


Call me crazy, but I like to watch older tv shows sometimes and decided to try this one. It will probably take me twice as long to get through it as it took for them to air it but oh well. I thought I would come on here and see if there are any posters from the old days still around.

I have watched one episode of the reboot and although it is the same characters, I just don't think they make them like they used to.

Some of the content is offensive but some of it is so over the top it is entertaining. I wish we still had night time prime time soaps. Too much fun. An escape from reality and a guilty pleasure to say the least.

Old prime time soaps were great! The new Dallas was decent, but I have no interest in the Dynasty reboot.

I'm jealous that you are getting to discover this gem for the first time. You will see that even in its nadir, it was better than the reboots of the 2010's-2020's. I do commend the producers for trying, but the originals (Dynasty, Knott's Landing, Dallas, Falcon Crest, and The Colby's) were a watershed moment in television history. Never to be repeated.
