Members Khan Posted February 20, 2022 Members Share Posted February 20, 2022 Poor COLBYS. The show had so much star power, and their production values made DYNASTY's look like THE WALTONS', but their scripts were just junk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 20, 2022 Members Share Posted February 20, 2022 1986-1987 season Week 10 60. The Colbys 10.0 When BS calls the show garbage and then leaves you know the show is in trouble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 21, 2022 Members Share Posted February 21, 2022 I'm sure Charlton Heston was ready to call it quits as well, lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted February 21, 2022 Members Share Posted February 21, 2022 (edited) 1985/86 was the season that the primetime soaps started to decline. Lots of factors I think: viewer fatigue, strategic counter-programming, sitcoms making a comeback, weak lead ins.

Members Paul Raven Posted February 21, 2022 Author Members Share Posted February 21, 2022 As we've discussed in The Colbys thread the basic structure of the show was wrong. Charlton got a couple of years work and made a shedload of money (did he need it? maybe) so was probably relieved the whole thing was over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 21, 2022 Members Share Posted February 21, 2022 I don't recall any story from it. It was Fallon and Jeff moving over to the spinoff. A boring Miles/Fallon/Jeff triangle. I never cared for Emma Sams as Fallon. The Colbys was a soap about nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
