[QUOTE="Michael Torrance, post: 128418, member: 719"] DALLAS and DYNASTY vanished after the 80s, but they had already infused serialization into prime time, both dramas and sitcoms. Before, and even in early DALLAS, episodes were stand-alone or two-parters at most. I can see the confusion because the 80s soaps reshaped the landscape so that now an ongoing narrative is the rule and stand-alone episode series the exception. Networks used to be wary of such formats because it was harder to run them in syndication[B], [/B]but first with DVD and now streaming, it is actually preferred by many people for binge watching. In short, you are justified in feeling lost. ;) [/QUOTE]
