Dynasty was all about fast cars, gorgeous clothes, luxurious holidays in which the 80's was a decade all about excess and Dynasty was no exception. On the set, there was fresh flowers, the best caviar, crystal as well as real silver, linen and lace sheets. The center character, Blake Carrington (John Forsythe) is the owner of a big Oil empire, Denver Carrington.

His worst enemy is his cruel ex-wife, Alexis Carrington (Joan Collins), who owns Colby Co Oil Empire.

During their Union, they got 4 children, Adam (Gordon Thomson/Robin Sachs) who has been kidnapped at birth, Fallon (Pamela Sue Martin/Emma Samms) who had an amnesia and then saw UFO, Steven (Al Corley/Jack Coleman), who had facial plastic surgery and then took it over, and Amanda (Catherine Oxenberg/Karen Cellini) who has been forgotten when she left to Europe. Later, Blake married Krystle Jennings (Linda Evans) twice.

The show aired for 9 seasons and 220 episodes on ABC and it centered around the world of the Oil Empire - it's glamour, loves, hopes, romances, mysteries and even more. All in one, this show could easily be called a PRIME TIME SOAP OPERA.

After show ended it's run, a Tv movie was made, Dynasty: The Reunion, but is wasn't really interesting and a lot of characters have been re-casted and forgotten.

On January 2, 2005, ABC made a special satirical look at Dynasty called Dynasty: The Making of a Guilty Pleasure, in which none of the show stars appeared, but other stars played in the episode.
