Fallon has such crazy eyes in that first clip. That whole thing is weird...Pamela Sue seems so subdued, especially compared to her true bitchgoddess early years as Fallon, while Heather Locklear plays the whole scene like she's drunk.

You beat me to it, I was just going to say it was totally the water element, not unlike the mud wrestling catfight that came later. Of course both women were far too clothed for it to be that erotic. But also at the lily pond, Alexis was wearing one of her iconic black and white w/picture hat ensembles, so visually it's the video time capsule example.

Perhaps she had a Madonna line in the studio too, but Alexis calls Krystle "the empty-armed Madonna" at the lily pond.

But the studio fight is the one that'll make women cheer and shout "Go 'head Krystle!" because she just wore Alexis' tail out. "If you want a rematch, just whistle. If you can."

For some reason I thought the madonna line was at the studio. Did she bring up Krystal's miscarriage at the studio?

Was it the studio where Linda was so rough that Joan wrenched her back and never wanted to do any of those fights again?

Later on it became a self-parody and they should have stopped, like the one where they threw mud packs at each other or whatever.

My favorite Dynasty catfight, aside from the early Krystle/Alexis ones, was when Sammy Jo and Samms Fallon were fighting in the mud over Jeff, then they both said, "What are we doing? He's not worth it!" and began playfully throwing mud at each other and laughing.

Yeah, that was a cute little "We're moving into the '90s" moment. :P I thought Alexis and Sable's catfight was a little disappointing, too much arm wrestling. Loved Dominique and Alexis though.

Joan is such a wimp. :P

The studio fight is just...epic. The over-the-top, bombastic disco soundtrack added to the bigness of it all. They catfought a perfect circle around the whole room, and then there's Alexis's windmilling and Krystle smashing the painting of Blake.

Alexis's tongue was so acid during the lilypond fight, though. Every single "Mrs. Jennings" was loaded with venom.

Anyone else love Caress, Alexis' sister? I really wish she had stayed longer and had been expanded

I loved the Dominique vs Alexis catfight, especially the dog's reactions...lol

How does Alexis keep her dignity after a slap like that :lol:

The idea of a heretofore unknown, black sibling joining this elitist, upper crust, conservative family is so dramatically potent, and yet, Dynasty, and especially GL, they never went anywhere with the great stories this could have, should have told.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Broderick · Posted

      Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol

      Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?

      The Golden Girls 30 years later

      The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.

      @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.

      It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
