[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 372740, member: 57984"] Oh, yes, In the last half of the show and the last half of '80s (I think the video is from 1988), the DYNASTY stars looked far better everywhere else [I][B]other [/B][/I]than the show, what with its flat-lighting and its increasingly bizarre filters and incredibly-splotchy, uber-grainy broadcast prints which looked so bad you couldn't believe they were actually sending it out looking like that (the Lorimar video blur of the same era didn't even look as bad). Yes, DYNASTY was a ridiculously over-controlled, stifled, suffocated production. And one whose coverage in the media was far more electric and glamorous than the perpetually dead show airing every week on Wednesday nights in the States. It was a great idea for a series. But, as John Forsythe later said, "The producers didn't know what they wanted (for the show)." And that bottomless neurosis was evident in virtually every frame of the program, certainly in S3 through S8.
