[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 345798, member: 57984"] Joan just blathers and she can't be trusted with details nor consistency. Heather loved the last season and Linda loved the exit story Paulsen gave her. DYNASTY was already dead-in-the-water (like Roger Grimes) before Paulsen ever got there (which is why ABC moved it to the same dead-end timeslot that killed THE COLBYS on Thursday nights). Joan originally praised (to Oprah) Paulsen and his new team who were "writing the show with a much greater sense of fun" in 1988, but her tone shifted once she started getting cut back due to budget constraints. And then she apparently went around poisoning the cast against Paulsen (which seems to have worked) and she still publicly blames Paulsen for the show's cancellation -- and not the Pollocks who weakened the show and its rating through years of mismanagement, leaving Paulsen to clean up their creative mess at the eleventh hour. Joan's commentary is always, always ego-centered and self-serving.... and shifts constantly. But [I][B]I knew[/B][/I] they'd do this when I first heard at the end of Season 8 that they were dropping the regular production team and bringing in "a DALLAS head honcho" to take over this dying DYNASTY: that they'd blame him for the series' imminent cancellation. And they did. Paulsen says he doesn't think that was their plan, but he wouldn't have been privy to those conversations. Then Larry Hagman tells the press in 1988 that it was probably "a good thing" that Paulsen, DALLAS' best constructionist, was leaving DALLAS because Paulsen "doesn't have a sense of humor." And then DALLAS promptly spirals without him. Pearls before swine, I tell you ---- bastards and bitches [B][I]and pearls before swine....!!!!!!! :scream: [IMG]https://th.bing.com/th/id/R.2029cbd8554c23de497b4b5a963133f3?rik=CiGYSZo%2bBjZLTw&riu=http%3a%2f%2fimg4.wikia.nocookie.net%2f__cb20130127195329%2fcarringtondynasty%2fimages%2f6%2f68%2fDynasty204.jpg&ehk=1Cq6bzSj%2bLjinoMuxTHJ4NfDNiTtY8hXS%2bzvHrmjhYg%3d&risl=&pid=ImgRaw&r=0[/IMG][/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
