[QUOTE="Rove, post: 253790, member: 100"] I've just begun to watch Dynasty - again - after many, many years. To be fair [I]Dynasty[/I] was a creation to counter the already established, ratings climber [I]Dallas[/I]. I've watched Oil, part 1,2 & 3. There is no doubt a large sum of money was invested in [I]Dynasty[/I] to offer the viewer a look into the lives of the rich. I like how the writers are using Krystle as a vehicle for us to peer into the lives of the uber rich. I'm really enjoying the time spent on lengthy scenes.
