I'm sure I didn't think it at the time, but this is actually a much better show during its first year, before Alexis. Just more serious and well-written, I mean. Joan Collins was awesome but she took it in a whole new direction.
It was certainly more "thoughtful" in Season One, when every scene didn't end with a confrontation and the words "slaps her, turns, and flounces out" in the script.
I love Season 1! But I do think Season 2 is slightly better - Alexis adds such an addictiveness to the show. Plus, it was not as crazy over the top - that comes in Season 3 and remains until Season 8.
This is the real Jeff Colby as he was originally written: a young man struggling for personal freedom and dignity in an overprivileged world, where he feels an outcast. Not the besotted fop as the character was later to become, post-Alexis.
I loved the first season - brilliantly written with clear cut-throat characterizations. Not a cut-out cardboard in the bunch. Unfortunately, it didn't have a large audience. To become popular, you have to dumb down a bit.
Wow, the show was different during the first season. We started watching it a few weeks before Blake pushed Steven's boyfriend causing his death. Then Blakes's trial and its star witness was what shaped the show for many years! My sister was a senior in high school. She had friends that liked to smoke pot and watch Dynasty.
+Magdalenkaization He probably was (the mega-rich Colbys of LA were a later addition to the series), but during the first season he held leftist views, and was clearly uneasy with his uncle's wealth. A veritable Bollinger Bolshevik (or Salonkommunist), if you will.
He was a young Republican who could have went on to become one of the most powerful men in America, with a little guidance, as Cecil hoped for him once he married Fallon. Unfortunately, Fallon was too young and immature to be up to such a task.
1:24 Jeff's monolog somes up my feelings about the super rich and even the rich. So deeply out of touch with the average person and even people in there own life sometimes but so deeply obsessed by power there wealth affords them combined with a willingness to do anything to keep it.
...Jeff was too adorable.

Alexis: I did? Oh..... I think it was my wtiters......
Agree!! It was a high quality drama
I thought that year 1 was boring.

Whoever is playing Jeff's dancing partner, did a good job. Loved this show!
Poor Krystle... she was trounced on by everyone except Steven...
Great scene..one of the few times Jeff acts out!
Aarona13760 i can name more
OMG this was the best show ever (the writing and acting is stellar) in it's first 5 years.
"Ah Jeff doing your daily exercise...opening mouth putting foot in" Sable Season 9
Jeff sounds like and resembles Armie Hammer
John James is very attractive guy!!!
Blake should have had his wife sat beside him not his daughter.
Chrystal looks beautiful
Always.

Too bad it didn't last ..
Jeff actually became a much stronger character, later in the series.
This is SO funny! Jeff read ALL these hoes!!!! 😂😂🤣😂😂😂
Fuh real! LOL
wow krystle looked so elegant in 1981!
Go Jeff
Poor Crystle, thinking "what the hell did I marry into?"
John James was good in Dynasty and the Colbys
This was BEFORE Alexis "Killed" Celile.. Thanks for the Upload ❤️ !! XD

Fallon didnt give a shit hahahahahhaa always sharp tongue
(3:48) ...That's what I told my Dad's 3rd ex-wife.
👍🏽💯😆
Jeff was not an outcast, he was born rich.

H. P. Lovecats which is odd because in one 1st sn ep he refers to himself as a republican in a scene with Steven

Magdalenkaization hi
@@miamivicepastels83 he actually referred to himself as a liberal Republican in the scene with Steven.

why do i feel i have entered the twilight zone
Yo veía a Jeff demasiado blando,me hubiese gustado para el papel de Jeff un tipo duro como Patrick Duffy el Bobby Ewing de Dallas
Bethany?? 🤔📺❤️
What about the lady in purple? I've seen every episode but don't recall her, and why did Jeff skip over her?!
I think that was Andrew Laird's wife
John James...wow!!
Love him as Joe Biden...Heeheehee.
