Dynasty Season 2 [DVD] [1981]

Season 2 of Dynasty takes us still further into the secret world of the rich and famous Carrington clan.More bitchiness from the fab Alexis,simmering anger and despair over Blake's scheming ex-wife,(courtesy of the demure Krystle),and all the usual ham acting and ridiculous storylines that made this series so great!It does get sillier as it goes along and moves on from the backbone of the first series,giving us some unintentionally hilarious scenes,such as when Alexis visits the fortune teller,and she predicts the death of her husband-to-be;"He will expire!",causing Joanie to flee in terror.I absolutely love it though,and am going to pre-order series three ,(out in May) a.s.a.p.!! I suggest you follow the path that I have trod,and embrace the shoulder pads and the glitz of the eighties once again!

I'm collecting this tv show's DVD's. The second season is a must have for any fan of this show: particularly for the introduction of Joan Collins as Alexis Colby, a charismatic character which defined this tv show and was the very first strong lady on tv (a formula which would eventually repeat itself in other different tv shows). Sadly this 2007 edition only comes with all the 22 episodes without any extras.

After a patchy season 1 the arrival of Alexis sees the show kick into gear and sets the style of the show for the next few years.Wonderful camp over the top and enjoyable

The second season of 'Dynasty' is finally here and although second in the entire run this season is really the beginning of everything that made the show the pop culture sensation that it was.The name of the first episode says it all: 'Enter Alexis', Joan Collins blazed her away across the show, breathing new life into the flagging series and shooting the ratings sky-high. This was the season of 'Dynasty' that shaped seasons to come, plying its viewers with every soap storyline imaginable and burning those unforgettable catfights into our memories forever.

in my humble opinion the best series ever of dynasty.this series shot dynasty into American top 10 shows before it hit number 1 in 1985.this series matches the Dallas peak of Who Shot JR ?treat yourself to $1,000,000 an episode production values.never better !

Love it and it's as good if not better than I remember when it was on TV

Brilliant bought it for my son who is downs syndrome and at 45yrs remembers all the tv series Will be adding to his collection after Xmas and New year he is in his glory Thank You

I bought this just to see Joan Collins' entrance and it was worth it.Dynasty was just what we needed to take our minds off the economic problems of the country in the 80's. With lives full of luxury and excess, the Carrington's were even more miserable than the rest of us.I have deducted one star as it is so dated now, but it is still a great bit of escapism to be enjoyed with a large dose of schadenfreude,

Season 2 is the first season Joan Collins appeared on Dynasty, which means my wife loved it! The seller delivered the product quickly and as advertised. No issues whatsoever.

YES!!After a long and torturous gap of years of waiting -- during which time lucky "Dallas" fans were able to get 7 seasons of their favourite show issued to DVD -- finally we "Dynasty" fans have something to cheer about too. At last the red tape transferring legal rights has been taken care of and a new company that seems to appreciate the value of this show has taken over the DVD issuing. Let's hope this means the remaining seasons will now continue to come out in a timely fashion.After waiting SO long, at long last the incomparable Joan Collins once again graces my TV screen with her ravishing presence. I felt so let down when she did not even appear at all in the Season 1 set I bought. Without her, "Dynasty" seemed bland and somehow lacking its usual spark. Now finally I get to see the "Dynasty" I had been longing to see again.The packaging for this set is slightly different from the Season 1 set that I bought years ago. Instead of individual slipcases for each pair of discs, I was amazed to find all 6 discs fitted inside a single case only slightly thicker than a standard 1-disc case. Usually this means some kind of system in which the discs are layered on top of each other and we must risk damaging them every time we pop one out to get at the one below. But not so here. This is a brand new case design I have never seen before, and each disc is completely independent of the other discs and quite safe. I find this quite a good and effective design, and I think it will save a lot of space on my overcrowded and ever-growing DVD shelf.Just a couple of minor quibbles. First, as others have mentioned, the traditional "last time on Dynasty" intros have been chopped from all of the episodes. I had always found these quite useful in refreshing my memory on the often intricate plot -- especially if I had not watched for a week or two. And second, unlike the Season 1 set, there are no extra interviews or featurettes here, just a "Carrington family tree". I would love for them to interview more cast members (especially the ones advanced in age who might not be with us much longer). And how about some episode commentaries too? I'd love to hear what Joan Collins and Linda Evans have to say about all their catfighting! In this respect the set is a bit bare-bones. But...I guess I should be grateful just to have this on DVD at all.Hard to believe we have to say that for this show that topped ratings for nearly a decade round the world in its day. But I guess the studio execs have more important things on their minds these days, like the latest pathetic waste-of-time reality show or moronic American Idol clone. Ah well, at least now I have something good to watch so there's no need for me to be subjected to such garbage.I just hope they hurry up with the release of Season 3, because this one is so good I'm going to be through it in no time!

Dynasty was not what ABC thought it would be during its first 13 episodes, which aired as its first season in the spring of 1981. Season 1 wasn't terrible, it just wasn't the Dynasty everybody seems to remember. I remember watching season 1 and my mother asking "Where's Joan Collins?" and I told her that Ms. Collins didn't come in until season 2. Well, here she is... hold your hats... the bitchiest bitch of them all... the one we all love-to-hate... that grand English lady that Fallon vaguely remembers: Alexis Morell Carrington.In the first episode of the second season, titled "Enter Alexis," the mysterious witness removes her sunglasses to reveal British actress Joan Collins as a new arrival to the series. Collins' portrayal of Alexis Morell Carrington blazed a trail across the show and its storylines; the additions of Collins and the "formidable writing team" of Eileen and Robert Mason Pollock are generally credited with show's subsequent rise in the Nielsen ratings. The Pollocks "soft-pedaled the business angle" of the show and "bombarded viewers with every soap opera staple in the book, presented at such a fast clip that a new tragedy seemed to befall the Carrington family every five minutes." Alexis' testimony nonwithstanding, Krystle is immediately put off by the former Mrs. Carrington's condescending attitude and manipulations; Krystle's subsequent discovery that Alexis had caused Krystle's miscarriage by intentionally startling her horse with a gunshot settles Alexis as Krystle's implacable nemesis. Other new characters of the season are the psychiatrist Nick Toscanni (James Farentino), who tries to seduce Krystle while bedding Fallon and plotting against Blake, and Krystle's greedy niece Sammy Jo Dean (Heather Locklear), who marries Steven for his money. The season finale sees Blake left for dead on a mountain after a fight with Nick.Dynasty's second season shows us the Dynasty-mania that made this soapy fun popular. This season is great, one of the show's best. So many back-stabs and surprises around every turn! I love this show and it just got better and better... until season 6 came anyways. It went downhill from there on out, but I still want all 9 seasons and the reunion movie!
