[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 217085, member: 8"] Funny, my book report was Valley Of The Dolls. But yes, we must keep in mind that most of these mini-series were televised versions of novels, they weren't written [I]for[/I] television like the soap operas. They often ended up looking like Dynasty because that's what looked good at that time. [ATTACH=full]21069[/ATTACH] But even shows like Murder She Wrote adapted that style. The mini-series became a genre in itself, but there were soap opera influences - although I think the soaps were also influenced by the popular mini-series. The whole Moldavia affair feels very Judith Krantz/Barbara Taylor Bradford. Soapy opening credits: [MEDIA=youtube]knbgStn1AeA[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
