Okay, the plots are predictable, the acting over the top, the hair and clothes so 1980s, but it's Dynasty.

I watched Dynasty when I was a teen, and yeah, it was popular, everyone talked about it, etc., but I felt it was not as good as Knots or Falcon Crest at the time. I found it's campy stiff acting laughable, and jeez, I was just a such a soap-snob believing this wasn't in the same league as "real" primetime soaps. I was completely unappreciative of what a great soap opera this show had been. I'm also shocked James Farentino ever got another acting job after tripping over the scenery he chewed. Guy was Craptastic totally in melodrama-mode.
Once you get past the less Dynasty-like Season One with the boring Matthew and his *yawn* oil rig/family drama, Season Two kicks off and doesn't let up.
Joan Collins deserved every accolade she received for revitalizing this show and Alexis-centric season into what most people remember - an over the top serial about the rich and glamorous Carringtons. Lets give the writers some kudos, too.
I thought I, at best, would find the DVD set a hoot and full of silly memories but instead found myself completely hooked. A fun, melodramatic acid trip.
I do love extras, and yes, Paramount deserves a glass of champagne tossed in their face for doling out nothing but a sparse "family tree" with a few branches. I wish they'd spring for some commentaries from the actors such as Ms. Collins, Ms. Evans, Ms. Locklear, & Ms. Martin (The men, too); but being as desperate for Dynasty as Sammy Jo was for Carrington leftovers, having no extras will not deter my collecting this entire Series on DVD. Just gimme ALL of my Dynasty episodes and I'll be happy.
Anxiously awaiting Season 3.

It's so good to see this all over ! It's old fashioned ? It's louzy ? Simple scripts ? Who cares ? It's fun to watch.
Too bad no interviews or extras for bonus.
Truly hope they will keep the series coming out

After such a long wait for the second season which was GREAT. I am praying it will not take another year for the 3rd one.

Not that Season 1 was terrible, but compared to 2 it could be better. I finished the 2nd season tonight and enjoyed it very much. So, hopefully 3rd will come out soon. Why, even Dallas, another popular soap at the time, will have its 8th out in early '08! It'd be nice if Knots Landing's 2nd season would come out too. Been waiting for this one too. Anyway, Dynasty's Season 2 is closed-captioned. English subtitles available as well, something to keep in mind as backup in case CC messes up as I've seen in some cases. But here, no errors found. Here's hoping Season 3 will come out in less time than it took between 1 and 2.
