April 28, 201510 yr Member 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.

April 29, 201510 yr Member 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.
April 29, 201510 yr Member 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? 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?

April 30, 201510 yr Member 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.

April 30, 201510 yr Member 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.
April 30, 201510 yr Author Member Getting the Dynasty DVDs are really worth it. I have all of the 9 seasons and I have to say the picture quality for every season is outstanding.
April 30, 201510 yr Member Okay I never knew George Peppard was originally offered the role of Blake Carrington and accepted it, but was fired when he clashed with producers. wow I wonder what his Blake was like
April 30, 201510 yr Member Okay I never knew George Peppard was originally offered the role of Blake Carrington and accepted it, but was fired when he clashed with producers. wow I wonder what his Blake was like 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.

Had George Peppard stayed, perhaps it would've been Blake killed off via heart attack instead of Cecil.
