Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for telling me this. I've been looking at the set for a while, thinking they were too pricey. I hope that the prices are the same in Montreal....
The only problem with Season I is that Alexis wasn't in the cast; she showed up in the first episode of Season II.
I found it, but for some reason, they're charging twenty dollars for it here. There was one that was 'two for 30' but I couldn't find another with the same sticker! So disorganised.
My goodness, thank you! I can't figure out why the prices are so different here; maybe the francophones just don't understand the cultural value of Dynasty (namely because fashion has hardly changed here since the show went off the air). Less interest = less volume sold = higher prices.
Case in point - today, I walked to Beaubien street to get my hair cut, and I passed quite a few of those little salongs; one of them was occupied by a bleach-blonde woman with a tight-curled perm piled on top of her head, with the long bit at the back (mullet-like) and the poodle cut in front. Vive l'annees quatre-vingts!
The website has listed it for 17.99. I'm going to check it out in-store tomorrow.
I am in the process of going through the first season of Miami Vice. I am entertained by both the storylines and the 'period' costumes, technology, etc.; do you remember when Bruce Willis guest-starred?
I can't believe the clothing that women wore then! Don Johnson wore way too much eye makeup; he also tanned too much and was already getting crow's feet.
Tubbs seems to have gained weight during the first season, which explains why he wears double-breasted suits for most of the episodes.
Remember Sonny's crocodile?
There was also an episode with Al Bundy, who played a federal agent who refuses to part with his glamorous undercover lifestyle.
Those apartments/living room sets are beautiful in their own context; however, they'd look positively dated now. Bruce Willis lived in this very minimalist house with a white and glass exterior, but with strong pastel walls inside.
A lot of the organised crime people seemed to have a Goth air to them; dark, black-tint limousines, men in dark suits with sunglasses, etc.
I liked the Dynasty look a bit more, although it was a bit less camp than Miami Vice.
See #48: His name on-screen was "Francois Zolan." Oh lord.
For some reason, the hoods, unless they were of the low-ranking type, seemed to all be from older, Northern cities; New York (e.g. Calderone) or Chicago (the generic mafia guys).
I'm glad they got rid of the dark-panelled 70s offices by then, though!
