[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 422293, member: 8"] Yes, except that every dynasty needs a significant beginning. Everybody has parents but that doesn't mean they have to part of that dynasty, unless we're talking about royal bloodlines. The rags-to-riches stories made for TV often start with the down on his/her luck protagonist, determined to build his/her own empire. It was different in The Colbys, and Jason was not the traditional patriarch but merely a family member employed to serve the Colby legacy. Even the mansion belonged to the Colby Estate, not to Jason and certainly not to his greedy wife. Therefore it makes perfect sense that he didn't come across as powerful as Blake and Jock, he never had to be. He was more like Leslie Harrington. Naturally, those same complainers will also complain about everything that [I]was[/I] similar to the parent show. Well...all right, then. I guess it could have been a fun glamorous gimmick. For what it's worth, I can totally picture a scene between The Colbys dowagers. Connie: Mmmm....you still seem very embittered (hinting at the divorce after Agatha's husband came out as homosexual, hence his relocation to West Coast America). Agatha: Oh, Constance, you should [I]talk[/I]! I know exactly what kind of animal Andrew Colby was, although I myself have never contributed to the rumours regarding your unexpected leave to India (clearly hinting that she [I]started[/I] the rumours).
