So many people think it took place in Texas…it was Denver, Colorado and surrounding areas (although a lot was filmed in California).
It was a nighttime soap opera that tackled a lot of socially tricky topics (being gay, oil & gas industry, women’s rights, Joan Collins’s wardrobe). Until it got weird and aliens and shit showed up.
Dallas was the one that took place in Texas, since it started a few years earlier that’s probably why people think of it first when confronted with the idea of late night soaps. Especially with the sharks they jumped in later seasons.
It cracks me up because obviously “Dallas” is right there in the name for that one. Yes, absolutely Dynasty was ABC’s answer to Dallas (on CBS) and they are SO similar. I’ve had a handful of people who are totally convinced Dynasty took place in Texas and get angry and refuse to believe it when the internet says otherwise (or I point out Denver’s downtown is in the opening credits). Mandela effect I guess…
That was originally called Dynasty II: The Colbys, but they probably dropped the first part to make it easier or something. It follows the same characters though. Basically a failed reboot.
Dynasty.

Googled and there weren’t aliens in Dynasty. That was The Colby’s.
