What the hell has happened to television? Especially Primetime Television? How did we go from Dynasty and The Colbys to this garbage they call television today? Barbara Stanwyck was absolutely stellar as Constance. Television in no way shape nor form compares to television of yesterday. Rest in paradise my beloved 🙏
television is a thing of the past..it is DEAD. In its coffin. never coming back.
One word: dumbed down education. I saw it all unravel thru the decades. Today’s college graduate can barely read, write, and do arithmetic. I spoke to a guy with a bachelor’s degree and said something about a “torrid affair”. He had no idea what the word meant. College graduates could barely count their change during a simple cash transaction.
@@plumeria66 okay Boomer
Barbara Stanwyck thought this show was the most absolute garbage she ever did, which is why she left the series.
@@Nocturne22 How original. Typical of your generation.
Think what you like about the Colby's.... these two women were superb in their scenes together!!
This is what I call stellar acting...Oh my goodness. I love it.
i was 2 years old back in 1985 i miss old shows like this
Now that´s a closing stare. Stanny was great as Constance.
Barbara Stanwyck was absolutely phenomenal here. I wish the show had found its own identity so she would've been compelled to stay longer.
FaytLinegod When they killed her off, the show was done.
She quit the show. She was rumored to say to the producers, the show was trash and tossed the script at their feet. Lol
Exactly
@@travisjames3517 I disagree Season 2 was still epic. It only flopped because they put it on at the same time as comedy smash hits Cheers and Cosby. A Colbys Season 3 would've been so exciting.
I agree
NOBODY pushes Barbara Stanwyck around!
u got that right. she is one strong lady who could stand her ground with anyone.
@@darnellanders8768 Too true like Joan Crawford and Bette Davis.
@@fishandchips9033 oh yes, i like woman who r strong and dominate not weak and stupid. i did like Sable when she went up against Alexis but Connie put her in her place knocking her down a peg or two and she had every right as a Colby.
she was a true Brooklynite gal!
@@darnellanders8768well said and me too me I love as a black British female I don't take any crap from anyone.
Barbara Stanwick gave this show some good ratings.
Don't ever crossed Barbara stanwyck!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BARBARA STANWYCK,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,RIP....................1907/'90
Sable was someone you didn't want to cross
1:35 This was Barbara Stanwyck's response,when asked to return for the second season.
She said the show was the biggest load of garbage she ever did.
@@travisjames3517It created such a Void with her gone....She died 2 years later in real life anyway but jeesh I wanted her back for season 2. Having Philip back was intriguing but Constance was the one person (before Alexis) who could check Sable....
@@maestroclassico5801 Stanwyck and Beacham carried the show.
@@travisjames3517 absolutely and this is coming from a guy who was the most massive Chuck Heston fan.
I have to seriously thank SHOUT factory for bring one of my all time favorite TV shows to home entertainment with the whole series, ‘The Colbys’ to DVD! Otherwise no one would care enough about us loyal fans to bring what was considered a flop TV show, but I really loved it. Not as much as Dynasty, but a very close second!
@Mr. Emerald The Green Agreeing with you completely and adding my thanks to SHOUT factory also- got my copy straight away when it came out on DVD! Legends like Barbara Stanwyck, Charlton Heston, Ricardo Montalban and Stephanie Beacham would've been enough reason (for me) to get this series, but I must admit that my mid-80's crush on Maxwell Caulfield (Miles Colby) was also a major selling point. Loved him since "Grease 2". Wish the series had stuck around longer and that they had nixed that ridiculous Alien abduction of Fallon storyline 🤨🙄😲😧🤪🤯!
Correct.
I LOVE the music that came in during the standoff, this was straight from Big Valley!
The traded stares from 0:29-0:34, one of my favorite parts of this scene.
See, this is back when actors actually had to act. You the era where your endeavors and God given gifts kept people in the news, not their lack of talent or family drama
THE GREATEST ACTRESS IN THE WORLD. BARBARA STANWYCK!
Acting in the 80s was known for being horrific though 😂
Albeit the acting in this scene is brilliant
@@yourmajesty8913 I agree. Barbara was awesome.
Barbara Stanwyck should of had more power scenes on The Colbys plus on Dynasty. I read back in 1985 that she was disappointed not having any scenes with former Big Valley actress, Linda Evans.
The queen has spoken!!
This was amazing. Just watched this show about 6 years ago!!! Probably my favorite prime time soap from this era lol.
What platform streams it?
I would certainly appreciate it.
@@ethanshusband8913 Have not seen it streaming anywhere but they have a dvd set.
@@fergotten yeah, I figured that. Shucks! Now, I have to go buy a DVD player. I can't wait to re-watch the series as an adult. I was 12 when it came out and I loved it.
Barbara Stanwyck was my favourite sparring partner for Stepahanie Beacham in "The Colbys," Connie is Sable's biggest adversary, knows how to get to her and is never intimidated.
Douglas Rickard well she was her ONLY real sparring partner on the Colbys. Connie DID get under Sable's skin only to then have Sable get under Alexis' skin on Dynasty in Season 9.
Douglas Rickard Once Barbara left the show went downhill. There was nobdy to keep Sable in line
Stanwyck said that she was only able to play the same scene over and over again. Had the continued, I wonder if Constance would have returned from the dead?
Loved these two together. They tried beefing up the rivalry between Sable and Franky, but Franky wasn’t likable, unlike Connie.
Sable tried the wrong one in her nobody tried Barbara Stanwyck!
...Shut 'em down Barbara!
Barbara Stawyck. Now that is a legend!
wowww, Barbara in that last line.....WAS SO. BARBARA. STANWYCK.
Hahaha Sable with "I thought you were above eavesdropping? 😂😂.
over my................................................................. dead................................................. body This is everything snap snap snap!
bodayyyy
Ha ha
Well, she's dead alright.....
From Maverick Queen to Constance Legendary
These two were the only interesting actresses on the show!
"over my dead body". Well, that's some foreshadowing, considering Jeff did leave California not long after Connie died.
"Over my. Dead. Body."
Barbara Stanywck was the only good thing about this unbelievably lousy show. In her late seventies and still as majestic and powerful actress as shed been in her twenties. True dramatic legend
Funny, I always though she was horribly miscast. She seemed like a homely old country bumpkin among all these glamorous woman. Every time she walked out with that ridiculous white puff of a hair do I couldn't help but chuckle -- no wealthy woman with that amount of money would be caught dead looking like that.
+Stephen Larner that only shows how regrettably narrow-minded you are. Not all wealthy women look and act alike and besides Ms Stanwyck made her career playing individuals and not cartoon characters
You've clearly never been to Palm Beach then Stephen...lol
Agreed and she won an Emmy for the thorn birds too
@@wilfordfraser6347 I loved your reply back to Stephen Larner. Barbara Stanwyck was one of the greatest actresses of all time
Nobody pushes Constance Colby around-not even her sister-in-law, Sable.
Can you bring back the Colbys? Good show. It teaches you what not to do.
Barbara at the same era with joan crawford, bette davis, katherine hepburn.
The Maverick Queen 👸 Is badass 😎
The threat / promise in "...body"!
I've always loved this scene!♥️Hahahaha
when ever she couldnt remember her lines she would just say ''for the love of god''
Is that like Blake on 'Dynasty' with his "What the devil are you talking about?' and 'What the devil are you doing here?' ...?
Nice dresses
Barbara stanwyck one of the greats
So terrifically dramatic ! 😂
1:30 Fyynal!
Total pro until the very end
Too cute!!!😊😊
Get her Stany!
The Colbys may not have been as big a success as DYNASTY, but I'd love to have both shows as well as Falcon Crest and the other prime time Soaps on TV now instead of the crap currently on network TV!
Her and Ginger aged well
At the time, Barbara Stanwyk said that 'The Colbys' was the best thing to happen to movies in years - 'If this doesn't send audiences running back to the theatres, nothing will' or words to that effect...shortly after saying that, her house burned down in front of her...
Love Stephanie Beecham!!!
Wish Alexis had have made a guest on this
nwlman Joan Collins refused to appear on the Colbys because she felt that the show wasn’t a good idea and detracted away from Dynasty.
@@SaxonC yes... Sable wouldn't have yet been ready to spar against Alexis at that time. She had to develop her diva shade powers so she could conceivably confront Alexis on Dynasty Season 9
The PHENOMENAL BARBARA STANWYCK!!! 👑📽🎞🎬📺⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
"Over my dead body" said Connie.
And then Sable is fiddling with Connie's horse saddle, and I'm thinking "So Sable is actually ARRANGING that!" :D
Over-my-dead-body? One serious problem with this show was the overblown drama over such mundane matters. Alexis would have laughed her arse off at connie's and sable's little power struggles.
And didn't Constance's character die shortly thereafter?
@@creativewriter3887 Constance & Hutch went missing in the Far East.
English women were born for lavish soaps. Big costumes and cut glass accents can turn even the campest of dialogue into West End theatre. Look at the garbage in the last 20 years, with all these Real Housewives and the spin-offs. Most of the singers, models and actresses in those shows would love to be actually ACTING in proper scripted drama like this today.
Ooooooooh snap😊😊😊😊👍🏾
So quick question am I to understand that Sable was the series villain much like Alexis was for dynasty?
Yes, Sable was the Alexis of "The Colbys" - for two seasons '85-'87, until cancellation brought her to Denver to spar face to face with Joan Collins on "Dynasty"...along w/daughter Monica (Tracy Scoggins).
What is this about? American corporate empire family??
I feel like the Colbys was a much improved version of Dynasty, and I loved Dynasty. Too bad the Colbys got cancelled due to poor ratings. It would have been delicious to know what happened when Sable took off with the Senator’s little boy.
The writers for most of DYNASTY, the Pollocks, just tended to write in circles. But the writers for THE COLBYS, Bast & Huson, were considerably more talented -- the show cancelled due to a lousy timeslot... If only Bast & Huson had worked on DYNASTY, too.
@@cedarabbey Yeah, too bad! No wonder I started to get tired of Dynasty toward the last season.
@@plumeria66 ..Although its last season was the best in years (due to a knew producer). But the audience was already gone.
Constance Colby is a cross between Krystal Carrington & Miss Ellie Ewing
They need to have a fight a no holds barred dirty catfight
I think Constance (Barbara Stanwyck) would've won.
Barbra Stanwick the only true best actress 👏 ❤️ in both 👏 🙌 dynasty & colbys x
Connie is Colby's only unique Character. The rest of the cast are just Dynasty Caricatures (especially Sable)
Sorry..In my opinion Barbara Stanwyck wins this scene.
um.. didn't Sable run over Constance with her car? OOPSIES.
and tried to gaslight her in to thinking she had dementia. You had to get up pretty early in the morning to make that work w/Constance! lol.
Was Barbara Stanwyk a lesbian?
do some research
@Eric Lopez I think the jury’s still out on that. Personally I think she was bisexual but much more leaning towards women. Not sure if anything ever happened with Bill Holden. They seemed to have been close.
*well she old has a few more years...i'm sure Sable can wait*
I disliked Constance on this show. She acted like she wanted to be married to Jason instead of being his sister.
yeah her character was so cringe-worthy and over-the-top obsessive. I don't think they really had any idea as to the character. It's like she resumed the same sex-crazed bitter character she played in the Thorn Birds with a little "jessica fletcher'esque" antics thrown in. She could have had a little more bite.
The writers could have made it clear that she was the true matriarch behind the Colbys even though Jason was a tycoon. and ran the business. She could have been the one who maintained the house and legacy and the history, while Jason maintained the wealth/business aspect of the Californian Colby Family. That would have made her character the power behind the man. That would have provided a much more interesting backstory and reason concerning this triangulation between Sable, Constance and Jason and why Sable was seen as some gold-digging trophy wife. Instead, Constance seems to be the older but busy-body, meddling, in-the-way, sister with no true position or power and her references about the Colby House seem less like an Estate and more like a boarding home with her being a resident.
@@creativewriter3887 yes, like in "Dallas", you knew Jock was the power behind Ewing Oil, but Southfork was Eleanor Southworth's (Miss Ellie) "dynasty".
This show wasted her.... she quit due to it sucking so bad,....
Had they approached this spin off correctly, this show might have lasted more than 2 seasons.....6 seasons in n they drop an entire clan of Colby's out of thin air....Including Jeff's mama.....Based on Jeff's background most assumed he was an orphan (Blake offered to adopt him n how the hell do you adopt someone that has a living mama?)......Jeff had some milestone moments....Marriage, birth of 1st child,kidnapping of said child, Divorce frm his baby mama and his 1st/true love, death of his baby mama n his 1st true love,death of his uncle n also a Colby.....we ain't here a peep from a mama.....if they were going to cast a mother, Fallon's death created the perfect opportunity for an introduction...(Krystle, comes to the breakfast table n tells Jeff with a perplexed look....."Jeff, there's a woman on the phone that says she's your mother."...Jeff replies, that's impossible Krystle, my mother is dead.....Later she mentions it to Blake who then gives Krystle and the viewers the back story....His mama eventually shows up at Fallon's funeral n Jeff ignors her....the remainder of the season is spent repairing their relationship (and drawing the viewer in)......Weddings always boost ratings, so it made sense for Jeff & Fallon to wed on the colby's vs Denver...However, when Miles brought Fallon home....she was not introduced as his fiance....She was his wife....The way the storyline unfolded (Jeff n miles were brothers)....They made it tacky n off-putting to have them hold a wedding in the Colby mansion....The wedding shld have been held in a church......They completely alienated viwers.
