ABC (8-11 p.m. ET)
ABC executives dutifully maintain that there's a difference between this new series and CBS' Dallas, and they're right: Dynasty is set in Denver. So much for the differences. John Forsyth stars as an immoral oil megamillionaire; Linda Evans is his troubled wife; Bo Hopkins is her ex-lover; Pamela Sue Martin is Forsythe's jet-setting daughter; Al Corley is his sensitive and homosexual son; Dale Robertson plays a rival wildcatter. It's no fun being rich, the series suggests, but it sure can make life pretentious and melodramatic. (Premiere)
