... wht kind of Dynasty rip off is this?

[LBColby]

@jwatwater A spin-off.

I agree , an updated version of dynasty/colbys with all the kids , little Blake must be 27, 28 now, and kristina 25 , we need some glamour back on our screens , I loved them all from dynasty , colbys , falcon crest, Dallas, knots landing, even Aussie import return to Eden . Camp tv escapism , can't beat it.

0:50 What an entrance! You knew right of the bat that Sable was a class act all the way, quite the lady, intelligent and with an exquisite taste for art.

This theme kills! However, the show was just okay, needed more "oomph" at times, and ending it with a UFO abduction solidified it as beyond camp, which is too bad

I remember this show vividly. I was 18-years-old. I could never get into it. It was TOO glitzy. The great Barbra Stanwyck, Charleston Heston, and Stephanie Beecham were added incentives, but it wasn't enough to keep my attention. There was no originality like "Knots Landing". And it failed with me, attempting to be entertaining. And with the theme song every week, I was always anticipating Christopher Reeves or George Reeves to be resurrected from the grave and fly over the Colbys' mansion.

@J00P74 The Colby Mansion is actually The Hilton Estate in Bel Aire, CA

But it was better than the stuff they have today which is even worse.

They thought they would cast the WHO WAS of Hollywood and cast them as the Carrington's California counterparts. Since this show aired when I was in JR High School, I didnt remember much about it. So about 10 years ago when they re-ran all the episodes on SOAP NET, I thought I might watch it from an adult perspective. I was right as a teenager . . . THIS SHOW SUCKED!!! The best part of it to me was THE THEME MUSIC!

@jwatwater At the height of DYNASTY'S popularity, ABC thought it would be a good idea to do a spin-off of this show. Originally it was called DYNASTY II: The Colby's, then either in the middle of the season or the beginning of the second season (as it only lasted 2 seasons), They just changed the name to THE COLBY'S. The fat and the skinny of the matter is, this show SUCKED!!! I MEAN - IT WAS BAD!!!

Stany is the BEST!!!!!!!

[YvanJules]

the best theme song EVER

[TheMasterNo6]

The music would have been more suited to some kind of superhero show-something like Superman....I wouldn't have been surprised if the reason 1 it didn't do well is because of the music, does a lot for a fan base. Nice theme, but totally ridiculous show, as was Dynasty BUT it had Adam and Alexis who we all hated but liked. Also, in Dynasty there'd been no mention of 'other' Colbys save Cecil....

[TRUMPER007]

Always thought this theme a bit 'Superman' ish!
