Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The Gustav Riebmann/Nazi treasure storyline was not very popular with the audience. CBS received letters from viewers who were turned off by a Nazi character being a part of the main cast. CBS forced the producers to wrap up this story at very short notice, and the full season story arc was rewritten to accommodate the new direction. more

What's the 3rd Best?, 2 June 1999
Author: Jay-188 from New York, NY

Throughout the 80's, I pretty much grew up on the 2 best family-drama-soap shows off all time (on my list). The "Dynasty Clan" & "Dallas". Whether a Sunday afternoon "pull-hair" fight between Alexis & Crystal or a Tuesday night shooting in J.R.'s office, these shows were/are my favorite. You come to ask yourself though, who comes in 3rd place? In my mind, its the one and only "Falcon Crest" . A high-quality drama about two families & their daily intrigues & plots. Well I simply enjoy that to the max. The Bad one "Angela" against the good one "Maggie". If you have never seen any of those episodes, and i doubt you have not, there is the media library in NYC which has all episodes of all TV shows ever made. Archived. Give it a try if you visit the city.
