It was a great intro but too much like Dynasty. It should have been about Hollywood as it was set in Hollywood. Fallon running a film studio, Sammy Jo sleeping her way to stardom ... It would have been pure Jackie Collins.

Classic Big 80s over the top opulent grand intro...the grandest intro of all the nighttime soaps in the 80s

It’s brilliant how the Colby’s music syncs perfectly with the Dynasty credits, like when Caress moves her head just as the key changes

Thank you for uploading this extended opening cast intro, love the music and the background shots to match the persona of the many stars featured.... Charlton Heston - Powerful Pacific Ocean Wave. Stephanie Beacham- Very Expensive Art Gallery Katharine Ross - The Beverly Center Maxwell Caulfield- A Day with A Polo Match Ken Howard - The West Coast Twin Towers Ricardo Monteblan- Probably his own Yacht Diahann Carroll- Placing in chip down in Monte Carlo Barbara Stanwyck - Beautiful prize Rose Garden..... and my favorite- Clare Yarlett- Trendy Dance Club complete with Video screens facing dance floor. And to mention all the Dynasty cast especially Joan Collins with the Rolls Royce...

This 3 minute intro is like a promo for what life was like in the 1980's

Never really watched the show but this theme song always grabs you!! Epic!!

The theme music reminds me of Superman.

These shows showed sophistication, style and a fantasy life. They were just rich rich with a twist of flair lol.. Loved It❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

yeees! that intro is everything.

I remember watching The Colbys during its first run and finding it terribly boring. Upon a rewatch of the first season, it was actually pretty well done. If only ABC had given it a better time slot it may have survived. Of course, because of its end, we were able to get that awesome 9th season of Dynasty with Beacham and Collins together, which was epic.

I just wanted to say how happy I am with this video, I immediately added it to my own playlist! Thank you very much for your great editing and high quality job.

This was the best era for soaps, if not the best soap opera of that era (Dynasty). For some of us, true soap is designer-labelled, powerful and with actors and actresses whose diction and interpretation is impeccable!!! Dear "DYNASTY" and "THE COLBYS slash DYNASTY TWO" ... We forgetteth thee not ... ever ... just as we shall always remember dears Blake, Krystal, Alexis (Carringtons) ... and Jason and Sable (Colbys)!!! Dear publisher Marc-of-Smeyers ... that the incredible orchestral arrangements of these shows would eternally be the soundtrack of thy life !!!

That was fantastic seeing everyone included on there. Although due to Joan protesting the show, many of the other Dynasty cast members followed suit on not participating in the series.

Wow what an introduction all them stars

Good Job!

What a cast

This was a long-ass intro. Alexis getting last billing is a chefs kiss.

Thank you for uploading this majestic bombastic gem from the 1980s! It brings me back to a time in my childhood that was so much better than today! The soap itself was not very good but the theme was an all star first rate bombastic 1980s imperialist theme and I love every musical note!

You got to ,,, Love it .... ❤ ❤ ....!!!¡

Mitiche queste musiche che introduceva i personaggi di questi serial ❤❤❤❤❤

great themes music when tv shows had themes

Ooooohhh the fake out at the beginning of the theme !!

This has a dean Cain terry hatcher vibe. I'd like to see Gordon Thomson in the DC universe either as a bad guy or a double agent. He definitely has the acting chops

Epic

Dynasty also has had several characters portrayed by _2_ different actors. On balance, a COOL (fan edit) 🎥!

The Colby's of California were what the Carringtons were to Denver

in Germany was both favour TV Series and Dallas of course too

I keep seeing Chistopher Reeve as one of these characters. I think John Lennon would also be cool. Don' t know why.

1:07 "What is your fantasy, Mr. Colby? Or shall I call you Moses? Judah Ben-Hur maybe? Well, you are not as tough as Captain James T. Kirk, believe me. You cannot even match Lt. Frank Drebin."

Man I remember these shows had like at least 24-25 episodes a season , most nowadays have like 10 or less and then we have to wait almost a year for the next season

Those ABC prime time soaps had a special look to them. Never could place finger on what made them look like that

Bill Conti when he was HOT. Right around the same time he composed The Right Stuff and North and South! I always preferred the more epic opening of THE COLBYS to DYNASTY so this is nice!
