It's also interesting that she says they take 6 working days to shoot an episode -- the standard shooting schedule at the time for most hour long drama was seven!
Hmmmmmmmmmm......

Linda interviewed in Spain in 1987 -- something that I noticed during the later years of the show was how Linda and Joan, even in extreme close-up, looked far better in harshly-lit TV videotaped interviews than she did on DYNASTY during that period. In fact, due to bad lighting, bad filters, and weird post-production techniques, Linda never looked worse than when she was on S6 thru S9 of DYNASTY. (Some of that's been cleared up with remastering of the later seasons, which look far better than the ruddy, fuzzy way the original broadcast prints did).

Y'know, it's just so infuriating, even 30 years later, the meticulous way those morons ruined DYNASTY.Linda interviewed in Spain in 1987 -- something that I noticed during the later years of the show was how Linda and Joan, even in extreme close-up, looked far better in harshly-lit TV videotaped interviews than she did on DYNASTY during that period.

Yes. And they were already in their sixties when they were running DYNASTY, the Pollocks... Not that that's necessarily too old to produce and guide a show. But it obviously was for the Pollocks.This is a nice interview with Emma Samms, interestingly she says that she was just feeling that Fallon was who she wanted her to be in season 9. I freaking hate the Pollocks.
And yet anything that conveyed any substance or toughness, they (not her) apparently nixed routinely.
I hate them. I just hate them!
You haven't seen Season 4 of The O.C have you?Y'know, I'm suddenly looking forward to the new Dynasty even more. Because the Pollocks, deBlasio and Shapiros aren't involved in it. I know not many people have a lot of confidence in the people who *are* running the new version, but I sincerely doubt they'll do a worse job.

Correct. And the casting of nuDYNASTY is unlikely to be as inspired as that of the original -- not that contemporary audiences would know that or notice. But it gives the reboot one less thing in its favor.But the people involved in the old version did a brilliant job at the beginning, that only changed sometime into the 3rd year.
If they hadn't been outstanding for some time, we certainly wouldn't even have this subforum "nuDynasty" now, and maybe not even the main one.
It's not enough to start it fresh with the "talents" of .. let's say Dynasty seasons 7 and 8.
They have to be brilliant like the old show in the beginning, otherwise they will go down and maybe even in a more painful way than oldDynasty did, because unlike the original, they won't be able to deliver a hell of a last redeeming season before they get cancelled.
I don't get that neccessary brilliance from the pilot clips so far, it's at most entertaining trash, but that's not enough. It wasn't then and it isn't now. You just have to be outstanding to be able to build a decent core audience for proper ratings, there is no other way, at least at the beginning. Mediocrity won't do it. But of course i'll have to see the complete pilot to judge properly, and i will when it's on.

I bumped into Jack Thompson at the once famous OAK Milk Bar at Hexham, New South Wales. I say famous because the milk bar was positioned at a major junction point when you traveled between Sydney and Brisbane. The Milk Bar was known nationally simply because of their milkshakes. I always ordered a chocolate, double malted thick shake. To this day nothing has compared to those milkshakes. The milk bar has since closed.Linda Evans in THE LAST FRONTIER (1986) set in Australia and co-starring Jason Robards, Jr.
