Description:
This hugely popular prime-time soap opera follows the exploits of the Carringtons and Colbys, both "oilrich" family dynasties in Denver, CO, as they accrue and manipulate power and wealth.
Amazon.com:
Say what you will about Alexis Carrington (the inimitable Joan Collins in her signature role), but not even she at her greedy, manipulative, and scheming worst would have sanctioned the splitting of Dynasty's third season into two volumes. And this, mind you, is the woman hell bent on ruining the lives of ex-husband Blake Carrington (John Forsythe) and his "sweet" wife of two years, Krystle (Linda Evans), whom Alexis disdainfully calls, "the once and future secretary." To attain the money and power she needs to put her best laid plans into action, she compels a hospital bed wedding to her barely conscious fiancé, Cecil Colby (Lloyd Bochner), who has suffered a massive coronary ("We have to get back at Blake," she pleads). Later, she will uproot the life of Mark Jennings (Geoffrey Scott), Krystle's former husband, from whom—surprise, surprise—she is not legally divorced. Alexis is the straw that stirs this intoxicating cocktail, but Season Three of this era-defining prime time soap is its most intoxicating yet (and marked the show's emergence for the first time in the Nielsen ratings' Top Five). Dynasty distinguished itself from Dallas by putting business on the back burner, and turning up the heat on its characters' outrageous private lives. As the season begins, Jeff (John James) and Fallon's (Pamela Sue Martin) baby is still missing, leading to one of the series' all-time great OMG moments, as the undone Claudia (Pamela Bellwood) clutching what is apparently the baby, accidentally sends it plummeting off a rooftop. The biggest development this season is the introduction of Michael Torrence (Gordon Thomson), a Billings, Montana lawyer, who learns on his grandmother's deathbed that he is actually Blake and Alexis's first-born son, Adam Carrington, who was kidnapped as an infant. Turns out that as the tree is bent, so are the twigs. No sooner does Alexis set Adam up at ColbyCo then he pits himself against the good and decent Jeff and has his office redone with toxic paint. On the homefront, Fallon wants a divorce and, in a bid for self-actualization, takes over the "white elephant" La Miranda Hotel, where she meets and flirts with "Michael," not realizing he is her long lost sibling. Her discovery of his identity when Alexis introduces them is just another priceless moment that makes this season, and this set, essential for Dynasty fans. Too bad it tops out at 12 episodes, right about the time that Heather Locklear re-appears as Sammy Jo (that's Samantha to you), with the missing and presumed dead Steven's baby. Damn you, Paramount; just when things are really getting good. --Donald Liebenson

Yes, splitting the seasons is annoying. But if its the only way to get the show released on DVD, then we have to deal with it. The low sales of season 1 caused years of delay before Season 2 was released. And with these specialty audience sets that arent as popular, retailers dont like to stock $60 items that will go unbought and collect dust on their shelves.
Dynasty isnt the first show to have split seasons, wont be the last. All this buying it used talk will only serve to ensure ... Read More

Is this release worth purchasing? Yes. As commented on in many reviews, the main flaw, and part of the reason this isn't a five-star product, is Paramount's decision to begin breaking the DVD release of shows like "Dynasty" down into separate volumes and then proceeding to charge the price of what one entire season used to sell for. For a fan of the show, it's disappointing to have to wait months, and then having to shell out more money, for one entire season of the show. Another flaw with this release ... Read More

Like other Dynasty fans,not happy that season three has been released in 2 parts which does push the price up.
However this is a great season which sees long lost son Adam(Gordon Thomson)join the cast,Gordon Thomson was actually 37 years old,whereas Adam is meant to be 25,this allegedly led Joan Collins to tell Thomson,he was far too old to be her son!
Adam takes an instant dislike to brother in law Jeff(John James)and in one of Dynasty's most bizarre storylines,he redecortates Jeff's office ... Read More

It is unfortunate that the decision was made to split the seasons. The only reason is to charge more for the DVD sets. However even with this annoying sales pitch Dynasty is still a winner. I was a fan from the begining because of Steven's character being gay, when he went off after season two to find himself and work on an oil rig (oh, really gay proffession? go figure) I kind of went off Dynasty and hence missed most of this season. I am very pleased to be able to catch up on how Adam turned up, how he poisoned ... Read More

I watched Dallas and Falcon Crest every Friday night that they were on. I have collected all 9 released seasons of Dallas. While it was on, I never watched Dynasty on a regular basis because of timing. I had Dynasty "recommended" to me by Amazon because of my Dallas purchases and was seriously thinking of purchasing the series and watching it at my convenience. With the third season being split, I will NOT be buying any of the seasons. If Warner Bros decides to do that to any of the remaining seasons of Dallas, ... Read More
