The Flintstones turned 50, and here is one of their biggest hits http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhUCQCTZnkk

that woman is such a nosey neighbor!

Ricardo Montalban was a much bigger name than everyone on The Colbys save Stanwyck and Heston. I think by the time Rock Hudson joined the show was already a hit and Joan was now a star, but when she first arrived on Dynasty as a has been who still had a small level of fame she did not get the final credit. James Farentino I guess was deemed the bigger star at the time. No offense to Stephanie Beacham's career, but had anyone ever heard of her before Dynasty?

all I remember was the son and the husband were the only two interesting characters, and they were the ones I looked forward to. The next year there was this story about a mother and son moving in, but I think I literally lasted two episodes before I decided without a murder mystery the show had almost no merit.

I never thought DH was all that great. It's a silly comedy serial, and Dynasty for all its OTT ways at least the characters had no idea they were in something you might laugh at. Blake and company were deadly serious in every statement no matter how outlandish. DH was never really a true soap, with that sing songy woman narrating while comedy music played as Teri Hatcher had a klutzy moment in front of the neighbor. The first year of DH for all the touting of the women as being what made the show great, it was two men (the dead woman's husband and son) that carried the story. And did they ever have another story as good as that one? I gave up the second episode of season 2.

I love both, but rewatching them, I have to say for the most part Dallas holds up better. The first handful of seasons of Dallas is solid drama, while with Dynasty only season 2 and perhaps 3 I think qualifies as great. But Dallas you have a well written TV show for quite a few years. By the 4th season of Dynasty they were already flailing about with Peter DeVilbis, while on Dallas's 4th season we were learning I think who shot JR.

I have to go with "Mark Jennings...Krystle...and aaallll the Colby wealth and power. I finally got everything that I've wanted, everything I've been planning for...And it's all ours darling, the whole world is going to be ours!" First, it kicked off the greatest Dynasty scene ever. Next, she is talking about all the Colby wealth she planned for right in front of Colby himself, and finally, she sounds like a comic book supervillain. Greatest scene ever, it should be studied in universities.

All My Shadows, your avatar is so great it led me to listen to this, her classic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByUOFV5TusE

she was so interesting. I used to watch DS reruns on Ch 55 in NY (UHF) and then all of a sudden she was on OLTL too! Not pretty, but she had an interesting face. I had no idea until wikipedia that Grayson Hall was once nominated for an Oscar. Not too many soap stars can make that claim.

Oh I liked him! He has the insult competition with George.

AITF was great until Mike and Gloria left. The Jeffersons had a very talented cast and it was a funny show, but often became a little silly. (That doorman who always had his hand out was a waste, but Tom and Helen were perfection while the second Lionel just was dull). Maude I don't recall ever being all that funny, even though I watched it sometimes. Not being a fan of Maude to any great extent I didn't bother following Florida to Good Times. Gloria was a total dud of a show, as was AB's Place.

this is actually something really cool, a salute to the musical genius of Mel Brooks

Brideshead is the best and it just gets better and better as the episodes go on. AW fans may want to check out Charles Keating in it. It's a dramatic but not a melodramatic soap. But it has everything you need, including an impossibly rich family where everyone is miserable.

The best serialized drama you will find

I liked Gary and Val. Part of what makes them right for each other is the fact that they were not right for each other. She was 14, he was a drunk, but they wanted it to work out even though everything was against them. The only thing I like about Abby in this equation is she represents his fall from grace. Well ok, he was perpetually off grace from falling so often he could not get back on, but he did love Val and Abby basically stole him. I like that they both tried to move on but in the end true love conquers all. After 15 years of them suffering, they deserved the happy end.

whatever happened to Josh Duhon. Did he ever act again after GH?

Bert Convy as Barnabas is tough to picture. He died so young it is tough to see him as anything other than a game show host or a guest on Fantasy Island.

and one more

There was never anyone like Phillipe Candeloro. He just knew how to put on a show

But this is truly worth a listen to. KD Lang just is better than everyone else. <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="650" height="340" id="svdo_0" name="svdo_0"><param name="movie"
