[QUOTE="JeffUSA, post: 161073, member: 968"] Yes, I watched it when it originally aired and at the time I loved it, but I was like 14 and I was obssesed with pretty much every primetime soap opera. I have the last episode or two on a VHS tape stored away but haven't had a VCR in many years. I'm not sure that the series would hold up well today. It did seem like a watered-down version of the mini series (Jamie Lyn Bauer instead of Donna Mills sums it up pretty well), but Jessica Walter in place of Lee Grant was actually inspired casting...she was just as good if not better than Grant. And Al Corley appeared (briefly) as Chase Marshall (replacing Bruce Boxlietner) before being killed off. He was fresh off Dynasty so it was probably a bit of stunt casting but he was completely wasted on the show and his chemistry with Genie Francis was lacking. The whole show just lacked something... nonetheless I was mesmerized. [/QUOTE]
