They weren't trying to clone Pamela Sue Martin, they were re-creating the spoiled princess daughter of Alexis and Blake. And when she returned to Dynasty / Denver, especially in Season 9 (aka "When Fallon Got Her Groove Back"), I think they were very successful in that re-creation. I loved her. <br /><br />P.S. - Pffft to the previous comment that called her "chunky."whenenromehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17687003723355703975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16333114.post-70203073773802118312011-10-02T21:48:53.128-04:002011-10-02T21:48:53.128-04:00I have JUST been watching the Brady Bunch Variety ...I have JUST been watching the Brady Bunch Variety Hours (all 9 can be found in fantastic quality on line)and am sadly a tad obsessed about it right now.

But every time you turned around, there seemed to be a new Billie Jo or Bobbie Jo. Only Betty Jo (Linda Kaye Henning) stayed for the entire run. (There was a huge turnover among "adult" characters as well, some of it, sadly, because of untimely deaths. Check out a cast list, and you'll see what I mean.)Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670684732933171707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16333114.post-73497054389834273532011-09-30T18:40:59.387-04:002011-09-30T18:40:59.387-04:00There was also the re-casts of the Bradley daughte...There was also the re-casts of the Bradley daughters on "Petticoat Junction", with Bobbie Jo played by 2 different actresses and Billie Jo played by 3, Meredith MacRae being the most popular Bille Jo.Bartnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16333114.post-60907576123028170362011-09-30T14:34:13.846-04:002011-09-30T14:34:13.846-04:00Most jarring for me was Donna Reed replacing Barba...Most jarring for me was Donna Reed replacing Barbara Bel Geddes as Miss Ellie on Dallas (but just for a year).

Basically the only ones who were never replaced were Blake, Krystal, Alexis, and Jeff. <br /><br />Al Corley was a much more nuanced and (frankly) better version of Steven who Jack Coleman just played as a hunk.<br /><br />The worst was Fallon though. Emma Samms really looked nothing like svelt Pamela Sue Martin. How does an American acquire a British accent? They really went to great lengths trying to convince us that Samms was Martin, reshooting old scenes for flashbacks, re-enacting the exact same title card for Fallon with Samms, and even replacing Martin in a painting with Samms. It never worked. Pamela Sue Martin was athletic and Emma Samms was kind of chunky and English.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16333114.post-1528212207564485552011-09-30T09:42:01.997-04:002011-09-30T09:42:01.997-04:00The epitome of series recasting, which they even r...The epitome of series recasting, which they even retconned into canon, is everyone's favorite Gallifreyan, <i>Doctor Who</i>. We're currently working on the eleventh actor in the role; the show's been around for 48 years (though it did take a 16 year hiatus through the 90's and early 2000's).DrGaellonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06494901709464910726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16333114.post-48267977724262238492011-09-30T09:31:00.728-04:002011-09-30T09:31:00.728-04:00Marcia, Marcia, Marcia ....

And I feel like a lucky man to have never watched Eight is Enough.<br /><br />Julie Newmar, awesome ... and Eartha Kitt's "purrrrfect" really helped redeem her.<br /><br />(Quick aside, Yvonne de Carlo was an incredibly sweet woman. She was in my grandmother's bridge club and made killer spaghetti.)<br /><br />But, the replacement Steven Carrington killed me ... having freshly sprung from the closet, all I could think about was giving him a crew-cut ... couldn't get excited over the whole big "first gay kiss on primetime" event because he was such a big girl in the first place that it hardly seemed gay.mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946368282176641335noreply@blogger.com
