I caught the tail end of it this morning, Cecil proposing that Fallon marry Jeff.,, well, blackmailing her, really. And that gorgeous green Roller convertible of his.

I read on Pop's wiki that Dallas is also coming to the channel, but you know the deal with Wikipedia. On the only hand, I saw absolutely ZERO promo for Dynasty coming to Pop. I caught a late night Y&R rerun the other night, and you'd think there'd be at least one commercial for Dynasty. Maybe I missed one.

The only promo I've seen for Dynasty is this afternoon during B&B, there was a graphic at the bottom of the screen that simply said that the show is airing weekday mornings. They need to promo the hell out of it during MP and Love Boat, AND they might as well see how a Saturday afternoon marathon would do every now and then.

I'm glad classic soaps are being rerun on TV once more but -- why y'all so excited for DYNASTY or MELROSE PLACE? All that sh!t's on DVD & streaming. You need a channel, why? laugh.pnglaugh.pngtongue.png

Now, if they were to broadcast KL or FC or other short-lived, unreleased soaps.... YAS!

Also, it is a very good question: How much of DYNASTY are they editing out?

I think it's just really really nice when old primetime soaps get a chance to be rerun because they don't get seen much anymore, and it's an opportunity for them to gain new fans. I'm buying the Dynasty DVDs as I go through them, and I trust Netflix enough to keep MP around as I get to the episodes I never saw back when it was on the Style network, but if this was circa 2005, when SOAPnet had Dynasty but I didn't have SOAPnet, my VCR tape would have been set to record every single morning.

Better yet, my high school self would have found a way to tune Mrs. E. Vicknair's classroom TV to whatever channel Dynasty was on every morning at 9am. Algebra II with a side of bitchery.

There's something nice and comforting about seeing my favorites live on in reruns, even if I own them on DVD and have seen them multiple times. Also, it's fun 'n easy to catch an episode here and there by hitting the TiVo button. I feel the same way about ROSEANNE reruns, among others. I still haven't seen Dynasty in its entirety and I only own it up through season 4. I've seen bits 'n pieces of seasons 5 & 6.

MELROSE is one where I can pop in any episode (preferably seasons 1-4) and dive right in.

Nolan Miller said that George Peppard "was an ass"...Linda Evans, as usual, never utters an opinion...Dame Joan worked with Peppard in the 70s on a movie and she just hated him after he made a pass at her and she shot him down, much to his chagrin, so it's a damn good thing he didn't stay with the show.

    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.
    • Jordan was gone from '87 to mid-'89. He left just weeks after Robert's late '86 return.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.
    • Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING. 
    • Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested.
