Happy 40th to THE COLBYS!

"The Colbys" needed Jeff but not Fallon.

Of course she had to be there. Jeff couldn't simply steal Miles' wife, he had to steal her back.
And that's the essence of Jeff Colby II, he had to fight for what already legally belonged to him in the first place.
He ended up with more (a father) exactly because he was sabotaged by a villainous relative who refused to share.

I'm thinking about posting a THE COLBYS EXPLAINED video on youtube.

Of course she had to be there. Jeff couldn't simply steal Miles' wife, he had to steal her back.

He could have stolen Kirby. Especially since Fallon acted like she was Kirby in "the Colbys" (even her pregnancy was copied on Kirby).

But would it really be more interesting to see Kirby reeanct her own love triangle/pregancy?
Not to mention the fact that she was no longer relevant in Dynasty's fifth season.
Not to mention the bigger fact that she wasn't LB's mother.

No it would not have been interesting to have Kirby back but it was not interesting to have a fake Fallon either.

I liked her better than fake Randall Adams.

I repeat: Emma should have been a Fallmont --- Emerald Fallmont.

 

[GillesDenver]

Emma should have been a Colby. Thus she could have stayed in "the Colbys" -- but not as Fallon.

Karen Cellini is the one I can see as a Fallmont's daughter. She could have been Leslie's lesbian lover. Every children of Buck would have been involved at one point with a Carrington, enraging Buck futhermore.

THE COLBYS is a DYNASTY clone based on FALCON CREST but kinda upside down like FLAMINGO ROAD, and with a vague but strong emotional connection to DALLAS.
And the intro theme was a remake of EMERALD POINT N.A.S.

Oh, gosh. The bombastic theme was probably my favorite part of THE COLBYS. Although I'd use a different font. And instead of the oil well graphics cribbed from the parent series, I'd use an ocean wave.

Would that ocean wave have come on screen similar to the oil well graphics?

Inside my head, where most things live, yes.

 

[Matthew Blaisdel]

I want the two seasons of THE COLBYS in HD so badly! But i guess it will never happen.

People buy colossal TV sets and then blame everything on the DVD quality. Sorry but it was never meant to be watched that way.

Speaking of colossal TV sets, word is that the huge wood console sets from the late-'50s and '60s are coming back.
