#29: Even Blake Carrington Thought Dynasty Lost Its Spark
John Forsythe was always honest about the show’s evolution. He felt the first couple of seasons were strong—sharp, relevant, and full of the kind of dramatic “punch” that made Dynasty a phenomenon. Those early years had focus, energy, and storylines that truly hooked viewers.
But by the final season, Forsythe admitted the quality had slipped. He thought many of the episodes were simply bad, lacking the depth and excitement that once defined the show. His candid take reflects what many fans felt too: Dynasty started with fire but limped toward its finish.
