The "The Colbys" was a spin off of "Dynasty", not "Dallas" as Aussie Stud states above. C'mon, people, some of us take our classic night time dramas very seriously. Unfortunately, the powerhouse case of "The Colbys" couldn't combat horrific writing and implausible and contrived storylines. Ah....the 80's.
