Dynasty finally being repeated on UK TV
I just came across this great news

It's about time it got a rerun. It hasn't been on since UK Gold last reran it nearly 10 years ago now. I'd imagine it'll be shown on Zone Romantica. I think CBS also own the rights to Melrose Place reruns. I hope it gets a rerun too.

Wasn't Melrose Place repeated recently on Living? I saw it on there a while ago.
It has been rerun variously between Living and Trouble for a number of years at different times but they only ever show the first 3 seasons. When the season 3 cliffhanger episode airs, the run either ends or they just go back to the start again. Sky One gave the series a full run but the later seasons were aired in the middle of the night so many viewers would have missed it. Sky One haven't aired it since. I was lucky enough to see the full run on Irish TV where they practically ran the later seasons back to back but it would be great to see them all again. Especially now that the new MP has started in the US.
Can't wait for the slanging matches between Crystal and Alexis.
finally my shoulder pads..black tacky wig and OTT makeup wont look out of place!
I wouldn't go so far as to say they are boring. The writing style and plotting might be slightly different from what we're used to today but some of the storylines are far from boring. I mean what other soap had various returns from the dead, multiple marriages, attempted murder via poisonous paint, wedding day massacres, UFO abductions and catfights galore. In saying that, season one isn't the best but viewers will be well rewarded by sticking around for the arrival of Joan Collins at the beginning of season 2.
CBS have made a deal with company that owns the Zone channels so I imagine it'll be aired on Zone Romantica which has repeated Falcon Crest as well as alot of the big 80's miniseries like North and South and The Thornbirds. I'd love to see it's spinoff The Colbys get an airing too.
The Zone channels are being rebranded as CBS channels. I hope they don't rebrand them as CBS Romantica. I hope CBS show a bit of imagination.
I agree it would also be good too see the Colbys again.
I didn't realise they were being rebranded. I wonder if they'll air much of CBS's current content on them or just the classic stuff they own the rights to? Most of the CBS soaps are already airing on digital with the exception of As The World Turns which I don't think has had an airing here since the days of Sky Soap.
There is a thread in the Broadcasting Forum about the rebrand. It makes very good reading.
Flamingo Road next ?
Dallas and Dynasty were two very different shows at the end of the day. Their origins might have been similar with them both centering around families making money from oil but the men ran the show on Dallas while the women ruled the roost on Dynasty. Dynasty too was much more glamorous than Dallas and there sometimes appeared to be more detail put into the fashion and set dressing than there was into scripts and plotlines. Dallas had a dash of glamour but didn't rely on it and was more story driven. In their later years, they both chartered the same territory when it came to ridiculous plotlines. It's hard to gauge which of them was more outlandish as Dallas had its dream season and then Rambo style antics at Southfork when Carter McKay showed up while Dynasty had wedding day shootouts and alien abductions but I don't think the two shows could ever really be confused with each other as they both had very different tones to them.
With reference to Flamingo Road, I would love to see it. I've never seen it rerun anywhere before and it seemed to be a fun show with a slightly darker tone than the other nighttime soaps. I always struck me as a kind of sexier Falcon Crest. Plus Morgan Fairchild is awesome.
It also gives us hope that Knots Landing might be repeated aswell. I'm surprised that Dynasty would be making a comeback on this channel, as that was an ABC/Disney show, not CBS.
More likely to be Dallas - which I would much rather see. Although, Dynasty is more than due for a re-airing.
Perhaps they might turn it into be a CBS Soap channel - here's hoping.
I agree. I am also looking forward too seeing the rest of Falcon Crest. I also hope that one of the CBS channels would be dedicated to soaps as Zone Romantica should have been renamed Zone Soap.
As for DynastyI really hope we see all seasons from the beginning. I am looking forward too seeing Alexis and Krystle's fight in the mud again.
I am absolutely loving it !
First time round I was quite young so maybe never noticed but they all seem to be getting in on with each other - it's great !! :-)
I tape it too - Well I sky plus it (It takes up 7% which i find really odd for a one hour show - maybe to stop you having a whole series on your planner ?!?!)
Series 1 finishes this Friday so I am hoping series 2 starts next monday - will have to check !!
Series 2 is when Joanie comes into it..........
Alright if you've got SKY - as always. We on Virgin don't get it - as always.
