While _Dynasty_ is not a flawless television serial (who can forget the fifth season cliffhanger in which a coup de etat occurs during Amanda Carrington's wedding at which she marries a prince of another country?), it is a cultural landmark because it is so invested in the principles and values of its time.
I believe _Dynasty_ will be Spelling's most significant contribution not only to television, but more importantly to American culture in the years ahead.

Still, for those fortunate enough to receive the signals in Mainland China, this broadcast may be the first to enter their household that originated from a TV station that promotes peace, freedom, and human rights.
