Since I was having so much fun in another post, before it got deleted, I decided to do a Poll.

Which did you prefer - Dynasty or Dallas ?, or did you like both ?

What made you watch them ? was it the shoulder pads ?, over acting ?, the change of actors ?, being abducted by alliens ?, the shower seen with Bobby ?, shooting of JR ?, machine gun wedding ? or Alexis`s many men ?

Let the biatch begin (I might even do a SF Dynasty cast)

Forgot to mention I watched Dynasty only.

It was all the bitching by Alexis`s that turned me into a bitch in real life, I tried sueing her, but didnt work.

The alien abduction was a bit silly.

Must admit I was addicted to Dallas, but for the life of me can't remember why!

I too was a Dallas fan but after we found out who shot JR it lost it's appeal then. Never liked Dynasty or is it Die nasty?

I liked Dynasty for the clothes ect, but bad acting...... anhow on a trip to Sheffield from the US one year my son had on a DALLAS (american football shirt on ) the bus driver said to him right off, well who shot JR then ? my son had no idea what he was talking about, i did though, thought it quite funny.

Yes I must agree. I do enjoy a good TV biatch myself. :D

Think you should do the SF Dynasty / Dallas thing. Sure it would make me smirk. :hihi:

Dallas was a little too redneck...

Dallas vs Dynasty - which did you prefer?

Nick2 - just a bit lost as to what Sunset Beach has to do with this thread, maybe you posted it in the wrong place, LOL :P

I loved Sue Ellen.

I haven't been drinking JR!
Yeah, right.

It was all a dream dear. All a dream.

I liked both, but to be honest if I had to state a prefference it would be Dallas, as the theme tune was easier to work out how to play on my Organ :D

You see I have this rare talent that I can play almost any old TV theme tune instantly on an Organ/MIDI Keyboard without reading music notes :D

Top tunes I play include the mid 80s version of the Neighbours theme, Dallas, Dynasty, the original Home and Away theme tune, most of the Star Trek series themes, Battlestar Galactica and a few others.

Dallas was a classic always remember that scene when JR went into Cliff Barnes office and gave him a small bottle of oil and said Cliff ive given you this cause thats the most Ewing oil you will ever get your hands on :)

I never was one who watched Dallas, but good to see Dynasty this afters.

There wasn`t a option of "I dont like either". :thumbsup: thats another thread.

I wonder where they all are today. :suspect:

In other words, you have nothing on-topic to contribute to this thread, so you may as well not post on it.

I used to watch both Dallas and Dynasty, and they would be the subject of discussion for a few minutes during the next working day.

I watched some of yesterday's film but, whilst watching it, was asking myself what I saw in the original programme. I realised that the series were not as bad as that film, which was only supposed to tie up loose ends after all. I'd forgotten how camp it all was though, which did make me laugh.

Yory soaps Ennerdale, Eastenders, and Coronation street at least try to represent everyday people bitching it out in the local. I know nobody in America even remotely like Joan Collins or Linda Evans or JR. Come over and you'll find there are people who actually weaer jeans and flip flops , not evening dress all day.

There is no third option. The op isn't interested in whether people liked the programs or not. They're only interested in whether one or both programs were liked.

Exactly, but he seems to have missed this part.

I watched both, but neither was as good as Sunset Beach.
