[QUOTE="Spells & Karma, post: 249759, member: 23"] I'm not sure it had ever really occurred to me just how similar the two Conti themes are. They both have that frenetic string thing going on, of course. But even the middle section of [I]The Colbys' [/I]theme - where it changes melody and becomes more sweeping - sounds very [I]Falconesque[/I]. The mash-up above works well and to me feels just a tad more mellow, elegant and Californian than[I]The Colbys' [/I]theme (much as I like it). It also makes me wonder how [I]The Colbys[/I] might have been viewed if its image had - like [I]Knots[/I] and [I]Dallas - [/I]been more unique and less generically lifted from the parent show. As Gilles said above, [I]The Colbys' [/I]opening twinkle, fountain wipe-ons and yellow [I]Dynasty[/I] text all made it harder to ignore that it's part of a branded franchise. [/QUOTE]
