[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 388847, member: 57984"] It's certainly better than the two concurrent years of DYNASTY (Seasons 6 and 7) and, really, most of the rest of DYNASTY (although Seasons 1, 2 and 9 of DYNASTY are very good). THE COLBYS had different show runners (Paul Huson & William Bast) but DYNASTY mostly had Bob & Eileen Pollock (who were good at casting and unformed story ideas, but were lousy at details and structure, and were prone to reductive creative perversities like the static acting directive implemented in Season 3). That's also why THE COLBYS had much better sets and paintings. Even Joan Collins half-admitted at the 2024 Emmys last month that the sets on DYNASTY weren't important but the clothes were. But we complained about it at the time. Blake's office improved immeasurably, but the deathly La Mirage lobby, Alexis' office and Carlton hotel suite were tackily drab and should have been far more ostentatious; even her triplex penthouse apartment lacked something. And then there is that sea of white bedroom walls and overstuffed white couches. Ugh. This is much, much better: [IMG width="642px"]https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519e4faee4b0336e2ef84e3a/1635776534157-ZUBYS7O5G4T0TL680W7N/SableJasonZach.jpg[/IMG] [IMG width="641px"]https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519e4faee4b0336e2ef84e3a/6d7a86fd-25a2-453e-a0f8-a1fd3ae1d4af/FallonJeff.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
