Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chris2" data-source="post: 383747" data-attributes="member: 495">Dallas was also doggedly consistent in terms of cast, pace and tone, for the most part (until the last few seasons). I’ve been rewatching Dynasty on Pluto, and it‘s all over the place. They were constantly bringing in new family members, recasting, and losing main characters. There’s relatively little consistency in terms of story across seasons. There are several seasons where you can tell they did a midseason reset, because they must have felt that whatever happened earlier in the season wasn’t working.And the Dallas characters, for the most part, are better than those on Dynasty. Blake Carrington was originally conceived as a powerful, charismatic patriarch with sex appeal. But after they fired George Peppard and replaced him with John Forsythe, he wound up as a hot-tempered old grandpa. Why anyone would want to hang around him is beyone me. And the Alexis character becomes increasingly shrill as the series wears on, due to her obsession with the old goat. Not to mention the humorless Steven recast, the weird Fallon and Amanda recasts, and the breathy, one-note Adam.</blockquote>
