[QUOTE="Werewillie Oleson, post: 333002, member: 8"] Oh yes, that makes perfect sense. I don't think that DYNASTY aimed for credibility, it was first and foremost a soap opera, but it always pretended to believe in its own universe. The catfights, bitch slaps and other sorts of one-upmanships could be interpreted as intentional campy, I suppose, but maybe they were just crowd-pleasers because it got people talking. Surely no other show before had done it as extremely as DYNASTY? THE COLBYS does less, it's extremely earnest and for the most part very well acted, and yet I can't think of another series that feels so [I]satisfyingly[/I] campy. To watch Sable Colby bumping her Mercedes into Barbara Stanwyck is a camp-boy's wet dream come true. [/QUOTE]
