However, I record two shows on Thursdays and - hopelessly out of touch person that I am - my DVR couldn't record it that night. And I have yet to see any eps available On Demand. So I haven't seen it. But the way EW talks, it won't be on for very long....<br /><br />Rick, how neat that you actually MET J.J.! Somehow I always admired the way he was only supposed to appear in the 3-hour pilot, but convinced the producers to include him as a regular and then he outstayed every single regular cast member except for John Forsythe! By the last season, he'd achieved second billing.Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-68060322321621282212017-10-29T18:49:26.294-04:002017-10-29T18:49:26.294-04:00Hey guys,

It's not quite as intense as yours, so plenty of room on the 'Net for both. Thanks!

Also, thank...They DO look alike! How interesting.<br /><br />Also, thank you to the Casting Gods of the 80's for all of that chest hair that stayed unclothed throughout "Dynasty". Has anyone tried the new version on the "CW"?<br /><br />I loved that show so much!Forever1267https://www.blogger.com/profile/17823856461319486720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-64546188417809281342017-10-27T09:22:47.449-04:002017-10-27T09:22:47.449-04:00You guys blew my mind, I kept thinking Armie Hamme...You guys blew my mind, I kept thinking Armie Hammer looked 80's and was a throwback to my youth, when all the while he's a (sexier) ringer for JJ!Gingerguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989371210392669145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-7739514483676201172017-10-26T22:35:02.428-04:002017-10-26T22:35:02.428-04:00Gingerguy, don't sell yourself short. There is...Gingerguy, don't sell yourself short. There is plenty that you fill ME in on with your thoughtful and apt comments here. I'm quite stunned that the designers on "Dynasty" actually replicated the look of the wallpaper in the rooms of the BHH at that time! This period in "Dynasty's" history was odd. Jeff and Fallon were freshly returned from "The Colbys" where they'd been deeply in love. Then here Jeff turned snarky over Fallon's ride in the UFO (!), then he cheated on her with her cousin Leslie (Teri Garber) and then they divorced and he proposed to Sammy Jo only to sleep with Fallon again the night Sammy Jo decided to accept his proposal! Lots of "out of character" behavior. The following year he was close to bedding down his own half-sister Monica Colby, though that was a bit of a mix-up. Anyway, the show went off the air with Jeff and Fallon divorced, but two years later, the reunion had her awaiting divorce papers from Jeff!! Jesus............ no one kept anything straight.<br /><br />Rick, I feel like JJ was in his prime during the two seasons he headlined "The Colbys" and he was indeed handsome, but I had no choice but to fall hard for Armie after "The Man From UNCLE" and think he's even better! :-)<br /><br />Skippy, my bad. My only defense is the hectic pace (and endless distractions) I alluded to in the first paragraph. It's fixed now. I was going to check it and didn't remember to. Oddly enough, "Dynasty" had Dominique Deveraux (Diahann Carroll) spelled still another way. We never saw either Skippy or Blanche's other son on TGG, did we? :-)Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-73894308212516406672017-10-26T19:49:48.599-04:002017-10-26T19:49:48.599-04:00Nit-picking here, but Blanche's last name is s...Nit-picking here, but Blanche's last name is spelled Devereaux.

There is a restaurant I went to recently called "Indochine" that's covered with it. Iconic! Hilarious you picked it out. Though on Dynasty it's more like The Beverly Mauve Hotel. Geesh, that's one color I hope to never see again (but I know I will). Heather and James look like the Prom King and Queen together. Don't remember them hooking up at all but they both got around. The calendar is a riot. I would never know these things if not for the Underworld!Gingerguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989371210392669145noreply@blogger.com
