[QUOTE="Michael Torrance, post: 141555, member: 719"] Ok, I don't have the same curiosity. I mean, there is a lot of fan fiction Dynasty that I don't bother reading. The peach concoction is done by people who know the original really well (Cidre didn't) so I can see that one would care to find out what they are doing if they like all permutations of the show. I mean, as you very well know, the connection to DYNASTY was not by itself enough to make me like THE COLBYS. Huh? On this forum? I don't remember seeing much reaction to that. All the flurry of reaction was after the trailer and the tone it set--two bitchy women going at it,and these two being Fallon and Cristal/Krystle, two of the truly original characters of DYNASTY reduced to REAL HOUSEWIVES clones. Well, I completely disagree with that. It wasn't much of a soap at all. It was a (silly) drug crime drama already by season two, with the pretext of the Ewings to keep the show going. The public everyone now and then has something to say, tuning bad shows off and leading to much-deserved cancellations. Look at the huge ratings with which TNT Dallas started and what happened the more and more Cidre morphed it into her show. If peach Dynasty did not have the Netflix deal, it would already have been dead in the water. Other than that, we are all authorities of our own tastes. [/QUOTE]
