  1. Yeah I agree, Foxtel should have a soap channel.

    I am still in shock from when W re-ran the camp classic Dynasty spin-off “The Colbys” a few years ago ….. even if they did quickly relegate it to 4am Sunday mornings.

    I am still hoping they re-run “Flamingo Road” one day. Even “Emerald Point” and “The Yellow Rose” would be awesome.

    I recently bought “Falcon Crest” Season 1 from Amazon.com in America, it was cheap and the quality was awesome.

    Speaking of soaps I would love to see repeated. How about the Aussie classic “The Restless Years”

  3. Will definitely watch this , looks very interesting . has it been on sbs??
    Would be great if Foxtel ran some of these never ending stories , the actual shows on Fox Classics or TV1 or somewhere else where they are suitable even a whole new channel . like Dallas , Falcon Crest , Dynasty , Knots Landing .

  4. I’d like to see that … but I don’t have pay tv any more because of their lousy customer service. Oh well, at least I know what I’m missing, lol.
