Yes, and it works because it's the kind of comedy I wouldn't expect to see on Dynasty (well, I had already seen it in the ep. preview).
Sure, OldDynasty had two mud fights (three, if you count the beauty parlour) but these were painfully lacklustre.
Quite right. While I have low expectations of nuDYNASTY (and it's meeting them, for the most part), it's absolutely true that oldDYNASTY's fights, all three of them, were
mudus interruptus. In fact, after the art studio catfight (and even it was poorly edited) all the subsequent fights seemed forced... Indeed the original show had no sense of humor (after Season 2) and so we went from laughing
with it to laughing
at it -- and not in a good way.
The old show was too stiff, too controlled (in a bad way), too pretentious (in a bad way) and could never pull off humor even when they tried.
I've mentioned several times that I'd wanted to see Sable and Caress have a scene together where they drunkenly fell into Connie's grave (a la AB FAB). But oldDYNASTY, as it was, could never have pulled that off because of all the deep creative neuroses about.
nuDYNASTY lacks the same potential as the old show, but it also lacks the rigidity created by the original's show runners (and which arguably ruined it).
BTW,
@Willie Oleson : there was the slide down the hill, the spa, the Olde Englishe Faiyyrrre, and the S9 mud trough with Fallon2 and Sammy Jo.
and watch the entertainment
