Dynasty: The Complete Second Season
Sex, divorce, scheming, conniving, catfights, fistfights, falling off horses, 'super bitch' Joan Collins, sex . . . Oh, Dynasy is timelessly entertaining and compulsively watchable.

The Big Valley: Season One
Tensions caused by the growth of urbanization and industrialization and the dying out of the frontier, the excesses of the robber barons and the risk they pose to democracy, and the angst of Civil War veterans trying to find their place in the world, again, set the stage for this virtuous, wealthy, 19th century family.
