Members SFK Posted April 28, 2015 Members Share Posted April 28, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members allmc2008 Posted April 28, 2015 Members Share Posted April 28, 2015 I wonder how much is being edited for syndication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 28, 2015 Author Members Share Posted April 28, 2015 I really hope Knots Landing is next after Dallas....then Falcon Crest.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted April 29, 2015 Members Share Posted April 29, 2015 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.

Members YRBB Posted April 29, 2015 Members Share Posted April 29, 2015 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted April 30, 2015 Members Share Posted April 30, 2015 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.

Members Gray Bunny Posted April 30, 2015 Members Share Posted April 30, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 30, 2015 Author Members Share Posted April 30, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted April 30, 2015 Members Share Posted April 30, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted April 30, 2015 Members Share Posted April 30, 2015 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.

Members Gray Bunny Posted May 2, 2015 Members Share Posted May 2, 2015 Had George Peppard stayed, perhaps it would've been Blake killed off via heart attack instead of Cecil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
