Dynasty Discussion Thread

That Dynasty 69 mash up was well done. I wish they had found or used a clip where Blake could have seen 1960's Krystal for the first time. Linda Evans was stunning back then.

I wonder if this "more grounded" feel also had to do with the massive ratings erosion that occurred in season 7 and the decline that would continue til the end.

I actually recently rewatched season one and loved it.

Inspired by @Paul Raven posts earlier in this thread looking back at 1986/87 ratings, I'm tracing the path of Aaron Spelling reaching his goal of Dynasty being bigger and better than Dallas.

1982/83: Dynasty gets its first weekly win over Dallas and overall gets three weekly wins over Dallas. These episodes were

November 10, 1982: The Wedding, rating 25.8, 3rd for the week. Dallas (November 12: Hit and Run, rating 24.7) was 4th.

December 29, 1982: The Locket, rating 19.3, 16th for the week. Dallas (December 31: Mama Dearest, rating 18.3) was 24th.

February 2, 1983: Two Flights to Haiti, rating 24.3, 4th for the week. Dallas (February 4: Crash of ’83, rating 24.0) was 5th.

At the end of the season, Dynasty was 5th (up from 19th in 1981/82) and Dallas was 2nd (down from #1 in 1981/82).

1983/84: Dynasty gets its first weekly #1 finish over Dallas and overall gets two #1 finishes and two weekly wins over Dallas. These episodes were

January 11, 1984: Lancelot, rating 25.7, 3rd for the week. Dallas (January 13: Offshore Crude, rating 24.2) was 6th.

March 14, 1984: The Voice (Part 1), rating 24.6, #1. Dallas (March 16: The Unexpected, rating 24.4) was 2nd.

May 2, 1984: New Lady in Town, rating 25.2, #1. Dallas (May 4: Love Stories, rating 23.8) was 2nd.

May 9, 1984: The Nightmare (season 4 finale), rating 25.7, 3rd for the week. Dallas (May 11: Hush, Hush Sweet Jessie, rating 24.4) was 4th.

At the end of the season, Dynasty was 3rd and Dallas was #1.

1984/85: Aaron Spelling went all out to be the biggest and best, mainly by cashing in on Diana-mania. Little did we know that a rookie hit was waiting in the wings ready to blow up. I divide 1984/85 into two parts, pre-Super Bowl and post-Super Bowl.

Pre-Super Bowl

@kalbir Thanks for all these detailed writeups and ratings info. So much of Dynasty by this point seems built to fail - they are lucky the fall wasn't even steeper.

@Soapsuds Thanks for the Cheers & Jeers. Those Jeers felt like straw-clutching.

You're welcome. 

1985/86 was the tank season, but 1986/87 it went off the rails.

Dynasty is no longer available via Amazon Prime for free viewing.

[Soapsuds]

Dynasty is available for free online on archive without commercials and on Pluto with commercials.

 

Damn!

Nevermind...archive just pulled all the seasons from its site.

Only Pluto has them now on demand for free with commercials.

No idea why, but I feel the need to post this image without further comment:

Let's just say Emma Samms' outfit is a choice and leave it at that, lol.

LOL It was 1989. Her outfit would've been tres chic!

Emma Samms is gorgeous. She can pull off any outfit.
