Bill Conti did amazing tv jobs too, in spite of people knowing him only because of the Rocky Saga. Conti composed Dynasty, The Colbys and Falcon Crest Themes. That's the reason they ROCK!
Although Joan Collins never appeared on "The Colbys", it's nice to see how these iconic opening credits would looked like if she had. A wonderful video.
It was a great intro but too much like Dynasty. It should have been about Hollywood as it was set in Hollywood. Fallon running a film studio, Sammy Jo sleeping her way to stardom ... It would have been pure Jackie Collins.
Thank you for uploading this extended opening cast intro, love the music and the background shots to match the persona of the many stars featured.... Charlton Heston - Powerful Pacific Ocean Wave. Stephanie Beacham- Very Expensive Art Gallery Katharine Ross - The Beverly Center Maxwell Caulfield- A Day with A Polo Match Ken Howard - The West Coast Twin Towers Ricardo Monteblan- Probably his own Yacht Diahann Carroll- Placing in chip down in Monte Carlo Barbara Stanwyck - Beautiful prize Rose Garden..... and my favorite- Clare Yarlett- Trendy Dance Club complete with Video screens facing dance floor. And to mention all the Dynasty cast especially Joan Collins with the Rolls Royce...
Did you know guys iam Arabic lady. When we were kids in middle school 1989 we finished our homework at 8 o’clock and watched this series and slept. Next day in classroom we mentioned of previous episode were with Arabic subtitles. Great efforts from all cast , staff members director , actors , author too .
The sound editing of this video is splendid. I carefully listened and the cuts are not obvious at all. And yet, the timing of the whole new intro is perfect!
I just wanted to say how happy I am with this video, I immediately added it to my own playlist! Thank you very much for your great editing and high quality job.
Haha...I remember this so well - they were easing us into the Colbys. TV was so different back then, you'd never see this kind of intro these days. Very glam. This one was so star studded they probably went straight to an ad break after it...LOL
This was the best era for soaps, if not the best soap opera of that era (Dynasty). For some of us, true soap is designer-labelled, powerful and with actors and actresses whose diction and interpretation is impeccable!!! Dear "DYNASTY" and "THE COLBYS slash DYNASTY TWO" ... We forgetteth thee not ... ever ... just as we shall always remember dears Blake, Krystal, Alexis (Carringtons) ... and Jason and Sable (Colbys)!!! Dear publisher Marc-of-Smeyers ... that the incredible orchestral arrangements of these shows would eternally be the soundtrack of thy life !!!
Whomever uploaded this video thank you I remember watching the shows back in the 80s even as a kid I loved all the characters the Colbys and the Carringtons ❤️.
Amazing! My first t.v. drama about rich and corrupt families ... Glam and Luxe, sane pervertions and a great ambition ... Fabulous casts, beauty and splendor, specially Joan Collins, Linda Evans, Kate O Mara and Diahann Carroll in Dynasty and obviously Stephanie Beacham and Katharine Ross ... Great work!!!!!
Great quality! Seamless editing! Great job...one of Bill Conti’s more outstanding themes. Iconic opening with the aerial views and those stripes wiping character images in and out.
@@michaeldavid719 It was the other way around. Dynasty had a two hour special. The 1st episode of The Colbys wasn't in need of visiting guests from Denver, lol.
Fabulous definition! great work! specialle the Kate O Mara added ... One of the best seasons! The best tv drama of the world ... Dynasty and The Colbys destroy Game of throns!
I remember watching The Colbys during its first run and finding it terribly boring. Upon a rewatch of the first season, it was actually pretty well done. If only ABC had given it a better time slot it may have survived. Of course, because of its end, we were able to get that awesome 9th season of Dynasty with Beacham and Collins together, which was epic.
That was fantastic seeing everyone included on there. Although due to Joan protesting the show, many of the other Dynasty cast members followed suit on not participating in the series.
Having watched _Superman: The Movie_ with the late Christopher Reeve playing the "Man of Steel" this theme sounded like it was meant for a Superman film.
OMG! I remember it so vividly! Back in the days when tv was really GREAT and glamorous and not the shithole it has become nowadays. That was an incredibly enjoyable awesome intro! Bill Conti's themes ROCK!
1:07 "What is your fantasy, Mr. Colby? Or shall I call you Moses? Judah Ben-Hur maybe? Well, you are not as tough as Captain James T. Kirk, believe me. You cannot even match Lt. Frank Drebin."
Thank you for uploading this majestic bombastic gem from the 1980s! It brings me back to a time in my childhood that was so much better than today! The soap itself was not very good but the theme was an all star first rate bombastic 1980s imperialist theme and I love every musical note!
This has a dean Cain terry hatcher vibe. I'd like to see Gordon Thomson in the DC universe either as a bad guy or a double agent. He definitely has the acting chops
Bill Conti when he was HOT. Right around the same time he composed The Right Stuff and North and South! I always preferred the more epic opening of THE COLBYS to DYNASTY so this is nice!
This one was too derivative. It sounds too much like John Williams' Superman main title. And it also sounds similar to Conti's Falcon Crest theme. This was over the top for me.
@@maestroclassico5801 - Nah. I wasn't feeling it. There were a lot of great theme music in the 80's. It's really become a lost art. Dynasty was a beautiful theme. Dallas was great. L. A. Law was brilliant. Magnum, P.I. And Falcon Crest's was gorgeous. This one was too much for me.
This never existed. First of all, 3 minutes of opening credit never happened, not even in the 1980s. Secondly, there was no program called The Carringtons. Remixing and over-extending the theme music doesn't make it real.
Dynasty had been on for a few years and was a no.1 rated show. Unwisely perhaps a spin off was produced to cash in on the success. It lasted two seasons and was cancelled. Dynasty continued for a few seasons with some Colby cast as regulars or guest stars.
Magnificent orchestration. They sure don't have themes like this anymore.
Only Falcon Crest’s theme is better.
Oui pour falcon crest et roswell
Best series opening. Falcon Crest and The Colbys
Bill Conti did amazing tv jobs too, in spite of people knowing him only because of the Rocky Saga. Conti composed Dynasty, The Colbys and Falcon Crest Themes. That's the reason they ROCK!
@@paulvoorhies8821 Its from the same composer... Bill Conti.
This theme always used to give me goosebumps
YEAH ...A COPY...
BUT THE
THEME????
WOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SIMPLY
G*R*E*A*T!!!!!!!!!!!!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Although Joan Collins never appeared on "The Colbys", it's nice to see how these iconic opening credits would looked like if she had. A wonderful video.
The star studded introduction was always a thrill to watch back in the 80's.
It certainly was.
It was a great intro but too much like Dynasty. It should have been about Hollywood as it was set in Hollywood. Fallon running a film studio, Sammy Jo sleeping her way to stardom ... It would have been pure Jackie Collins.
Classic Big 80s over the top opulent grand intro...the grandest intro of all the nighttime soaps in the 80s
Only one word to describe this theme tune...SPECTACULAR!
This was spectacular for it’s time. Loved this and Dynasty!
Never really watched the show but this theme song always grabs you!! Epic!!
Thank you for uploading this extended opening cast intro, love the music and the background shots to match the persona of the many stars featured....
Charlton Heston - Powerful Pacific Ocean Wave.
Stephanie Beacham- Very Expensive Art Gallery
Katharine Ross - The Beverly Center
Maxwell Caulfield- A Day with A Polo Match
Ken Howard - The West Coast Twin Towers
Ricardo Monteblan- Probably his own Yacht
Diahann Carroll- Placing in chip down in Monte Carlo
Barbara Stanwyck - Beautiful prize Rose Garden..... and my favorite-
Clare Yarlett- Trendy Dance Club complete with Video screens facing dance floor.
And to mention all the Dynasty cast especially Joan Collins with the Rolls Royce...
It’s brilliant how the Colby’s music syncs perfectly with the Dynasty credits, like when Caress moves her head just as the key changes
I noticed that too
Did you know guys iam Arabic lady. When we were kids in middle school 1989 we finished our homework at 8 o’clock and watched this series and slept. Next day in classroom we mentioned of previous episode were with Arabic subtitles. Great efforts from all cast , staff members director , actors , author too .
Sorry imean mentioned the events of each episode we watched last night.
Happy to know that you could watch these series in arabic countries, too
The sound editing of this video is splendid. I carefully listened and the cuts are not obvious at all. And yet, the timing of the whole new intro is perfect!
This 3 minute intro is like a promo for what life was like in the 1980's
What a FABULOUS job!! 👌👌👌💯💯💯
Definitely one of the best opening themes of all the prime time soaps! Many thanks for sharing it! ;)
I just wanted to say how happy I am with this video, I immediately added it to my own playlist!

I never watched Dynasty or The Colbys as a kid but I loved their intros. Classic 80s! Epic stuff here.
EPIC intro for sure!
These shows showed sophistication, style and a fantasy life. They were just rich rich with a twist of flair lol.. Loved It❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Full casts from Dynasty & Colbys. Magnificent!!!
I agree!!
This was the very first episode of The Colbys. This was basically an epic soap opera movie.
You know, dear Tony-of-Carlos ... you know?!? ... I mean, what could be better ?!? ... You know?!?
Loved both shows!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I miss shows like this. Dynasty and The Colbys- never missed an episode! My grandmother would refer to these shows as her "stories"
The theme sounds like it would called, The Star Wars: TV show
Amazing! My first t.v. drama about rich and corrupt families ... Glam and Luxe, sane pervertions and a great ambition ... Fabulous casts, beauty and splendor, specially Joan Collins, Linda Evans, Kate O Mara and Diahann Carroll in Dynasty and obviously Stephanie Beacham and Katharine Ross ... Great work!!!!!
Definitely some real beauties 😍

Dear CAL (as per the character in 'Sanford') ... we only agree!!!

@@ruthx3346 Well you say that. It was the new kid on the block and needed a boost.
The aerial views were copied from Dallas opening credits featuring the skyline of Dallas and other landmarks.
@@michaeldavid719 Exactly my friend. Anyone who was a fan back then knows they had to merge them for a while to ease us into The Colbys.
I Really enjoyed The Coblys. I am glad shout factory released The Colbys to us on dvd. I hope it is still in print by Shout Factory.
amazon has the collection.
yeees! that intro is everything.
I love this so much, thank you for putting this up
Loved this show.
The theme music reminds me of Superman.
The length of the intro as well.
Yes it does.
Yes the lois and Clark theme is similar th-cam.com/video/giTNQ1Q9j74/w-d-xo.html
And Indiana Jones
Fabulous definition! great work! specialle the Kate O Mara added ... One of the best seasons! The best tv drama of the world ... Dynasty and The Colbys destroy Game of throns!
YES!!!!! I LOVED "Caress" Kate O Mara was wonderful!!!!!
Game of what?
I always loved this intro, will be my wedding march.
I thought of using the Dynasty theme as my wedding narch and the Colby's theme as the wedding ending.
@@aragon77 did you?
@@hyper9984 Unfortunately not yet. Hopefully someday.
Great Quality👏👏👌 the 80s iconic series 💗😉👌👌
Say no more, dear Meratius-of-Loche. "DYNASTY", like a few other 80s soaps, was in a league of its own!!!
Oh the dream show,! Thank you.
I remember watching The Colbys during its first run and finding it terribly boring. Upon a rewatch of the first season, it was actually pretty well done. If only ABC had given it a better time slot it may have survived. Of course, because of its end, we were able to get that awesome 9th season of Dynasty with Beacham and Collins together, which was epic.
they shoukd have moved it away from the NBC comedies and it would have lasted most likely into the 90s
First season is much better than the second.
Kate O'Hara later played Patsy Stone's sister on Absolutely Fabulous. She was hysterical!!
“Too late to flush her now”
Patsy, I'm 72
I heard Dynasty wanted Joan's sister Jackie to play Caress.
Jackie tried her hand at being a thespian. Having given that up and since became a writer (saucy novelist)...
Ti'l this day, there is no OTHER. theme or Night Soap Opera , that could compared to Dynasty but Colby's theme is on another level.
Thank you so much for this upload! I never actually saw this one with all the Colbies and Carringtons together. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
This is a fan made video as Joan Collins was never in The Colbys she did not agree with Dynasty having a Spin off
Beautiful!!!
That was fantastic seeing everyone included on there. Although due to Joan protesting the show, many of the other Dynasty cast members followed suit on not participating in the series.
Miles and Steven would have been a lovely couple.
Fuck, yes!
To have Miles suddenly go gay would've been so interesting.
Una grande stronzata
@maestroclassico580anche no1
Having watched _Superman: The Movie_ with the late Christopher Reeve playing the "Man of Steel" this theme sounded like it was meant for a Superman film.
I've always thought that
Wow what an introduction all them stars
I loved those shows!
The show's name is The Colbys but they left out one main cast as Mrs. Colby i.e. Kim Green as Channing Colby the wife of Miles Colby.
I miss those kind of intros on today tv - shows. Back then you did know all the names of actors but today...?
Great memories back in the day
Beautifully made. Well done!!
DYNASTY II: THE COLBYS.. A magnificent intro and a great show. Too bad it lasted for two seasons. It should be out on DVD.
It is!
Wow what a cast awesome
Tracy Scoggins was awesome on this TV SHOW
Holy cow, that intro was longer than a lot of series episodes these days!
Ironically, only John, Gordon, jack, and Diahann appeared on the Colbys.
I love your videos thank you 😍😍😍😍
I never watched The Colby's, but without Dame Joan Collins, Dynasty was nothing!
great themes music when tv shows had themes
Now old enough to watch the credits but not enough to watch the whole episodes...but qe watched from behind the sofa.....😂😂😂😂
OMG! I remember it so vividly! Back in the days when tv was really GREAT and glamorous and not the shithole it has become nowadays. That was an incredibly enjoyable awesome intro! Bill Conti's themes ROCK!
If only Joan Collins appeared on The Colbys............
Dynasty also has had several characters portrayed by _2_ different actors. On balance, a COOL (fan edit) 🎥!
So the guest stars were the entire cast of Dynasty.
Someone was channeling John Williams
LOL --- definitely
With both the Colbys and Dynasty opening credits, anyone notice the positioning of the champagne bottle next to Gordon Thomson?
Oh, yeaaaaah, baby!
Awesome!!!!!!
When I hear the intro? I have the sudden urge to break out in my Robin Leetch voive "Welcome to the Lifestyles Of The Rich & Powerful.".
It should be brought back to our screens also dallas falcon crest
in Germany was both favour TV Series and Dallas of course too
That was a time there was class and glamour.
The Colbys music sounds like it should be for a superhero movie or TV series rather than a soap
Actually money is the greatest superpower of all
This is fantastic.
Wish i could get the whole show🤩😘🤗🙂
It's all in TH-cam
1:07 "What is your fantasy, Mr. Colby? Or shall I call you Moses? Judah Ben-Hur maybe? Well, you are not as tough as Captain James T. Kirk, believe me. You cannot even match Lt. Frank Drebin."
This was a long-ass intro. Alexis getting last billing is a chefs kiss.
God had we a reservoir both we, films, music...!
Thank you for uploading this majestic bombastic gem from the 1980s! It brings me back to a time in my childhood that was so much better than today! The soap itself was not very good but the theme was an all star first rate bombastic 1980s imperialist theme and I love every musical note!
I keep seeing Chistopher Reeve as one of these characters. I think John Lennon would also be cool. Don' t know why.
YES!!! I love this!
Good Job!
The Colby's had a better theme, imo, than Dynasty.
Beautiful opening sequence
The very sound of endless wealth and power.
I love Colby's...but... I love dynasty Intro and series more 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
Has The Colbys ever been shown in HD anywhere?
This has a dean Cain terry hatcher vibe. I'd like to see Gordon Thomson in the DC universe either as a bad guy or a double agent. He definitely has the acting chops
So why is this not on the streaming platforms? I would love to watch it
Dynasty and Colbys me and my Mother would watch this.
The intro is longer than the actual program
Ooooohhh the fake out at the beginning of the theme !!
Stephanie Beacham was a star. She made The Colbys. Everyone else was dull compared to her
She was the best thing about the show, IMO. Thankfully, they brought her over to Dynasty when "The Colbys" was cancelled.
Mitiche queste musiche che introduceva i personaggi di questi serial ❤❤❤❤❤
Those ABC prime time soaps had a special look to them. Never could place finger on what made them look like that
Theme was longer then a lot of shows are now
Bill Conti when he was HOT. Right around the same time he composed The Right Stuff and North and South! I always preferred the more epic opening of THE COLBYS to DYNASTY so this is nice!
Absolutely - my show was def Dynasty, but the theme was a bit shrieky, no? The Colbys theme was more grand and exciting for sure
@@alisdairmckenzie My best friend said (at the time) that it almost sounded a little like the theme from SUPERMAN
This one was too derivative. It sounds too much like John Williams' Superman main title. And it also sounds similar to Conti's Falcon Crest theme. This was over the top for me.
@@mgeek1 Ehhh so was the whole 80s! It fit!

Terrific video, great Bill Conti theme though it sounds more appropriate for a space epic.
Reminds me of Battlestar Galactica ...
Well, it's space related indeed, considering Fallon was abducted by a UFO.
The Colby's of California were what the Carringtons were to Denver
What a cast
Wow, I had never heard of this series :o Was it before or after Dynasty?
Dynasty had been on for a few years and was a no.1 rated show. Unwisely perhaps a spin off was produced to cash in on the success. It lasted two seasons and was cancelled. Dynasty continued for a few seasons with some Colby cast as regulars or guest stars.
