Alternate Titles for the 80s Soaps

[Ray_Krebbs]

What names would you have given to the 80s Soaps? I would have called Falcon Crest as Grape Bounty and Knots Landing as Circle Near the Surf. Dallas would be either The Ewings or Southfork.

 

[Piggyrella Sanderson]

"Dallas": "Texas Giants"
"Knots Landing": "Over the Fence"
"Falcon Crest": "Grandma Says"
"Dynasty": "Lord of the Manor", then changing in Season 2 to "The Black Widow".

 

[Spooky Owl!]

I wouldn't have changed the titles, but MILE HIGH might have been a nice replacement (and more optimistic) title for DYNASTY.

 

[Guzzler’s Frightening Hair]

it's pretty hard to beat Terry Wogan's "Dysentery" for Dynasty

Dynasty: The Be's And The Be Nots

You can't better the title of Dallas. It was just the perfect name for the perfect show.

...Except when it was associated to the name of a certain show destroyer...what was her name...?

Ah, Cynthia Cidre. Her attempt at a continuation series was just laughable. She strayed too far from what Dallas was supposed to be like.

I'm not surprised it got cancelled.
