‘Soap Opera Know-It-All’ Virtual Game Show Debuts
This week, the Michael Fairman Channel dropped the premiere episode of the first-ever virtual soap opera game show, Soap Opera Know-It-All.
The game features four soap fans from around the country who test their knowledge against each other for prizes and the bragging rights to be the “Ultimate Know-It-All” come seasons end.

With the coronavirus pandemic still among us and life not fully back to normal, the game show is produced and hosted by Michael Fairman that brought fans from different parts of the country together for the kick-off. They are: Marni Ockene, Floyd Elwell, Nicholas Hess and Gina Patterson.
The game is played in two rounds, and the players receive points for each correct answer as they choose questions from 2 game board categories which are all soap operas; either primetime or daytime in a ‘Jeopardy’-like format.

However, come the knock-out round we are left with two players who try to answer the final question from this week’s guest performer, The Young and the Restless‘, Sharon Case (Sharon). If no one is eliminated, the game goes into “Sudden Death”.
On each new episode, different soap operas will be featured on the game board and/or in different amalgamations, plus you never know just which of your favorite soap stars might pop up!
Check out the premiere of “Soap Opera Know-It-All” below. Then, let us know what you thought of it via the comment section below.

I seen two minutes and it was terrible…and from what i read it sounds even more disgusting…i rather watch repeats of the classic original…
F…is the perfect grade for Disastersy which also would be a better title!!!
Jimh, I love the “Disastersy” moniker!
L-O-L
More like “Travesty!”
Me too!
I agree with you!
I also made it for only about 2 minutes. Maybe 3.
Pales in comparison to the original. They should have followed Dallas and had a couple of cast members from the original show. This is what made Dallas popular The untimely death of Larry Hagman unfortunately ended Dallas as well.
The Dallas reboot was really good. I was so upset when it was cancelled. Having some of the original cast members was awesome!!
The dallas reboot was great during S01 and S02. S03 was a complete mess though.
This reboot is a a travesty and would make Aaron Spelling roll in his grave. If you are going to reboot a show and cannot have the original cast, at least have them be similar and have the show be based on the same thing. Denver Carrington and Blake were the center. Crystal, not Cristal was a wonderful character and not a mean schemer. I could go on but choose not to and choose to not watch it again.
It’s been only two episodes and from what I hear, the original Dynasty did not become what it was until much later on.
I watched the original from day one. I know this is 2017 but even in the beginning you could see how Denver played such an important part of the story. Blake was a much older man and yes Fallon was going to be trouble but did not clash over Crystal because of business. She just did not like daddy’s choice and acted out. It may be only two episodes but this is nothing like I ever expected. Enjoy your version but some classics should never be tampered with. It would be like a Dallas reboot and not be in Texas.
It’s so sad. I really wanted this to be good, but it’s terrible. It wont last.
Don’t care for the reboot Dynasty.
Don’t like they made Sammy Jo male. Don’t like they making this version of Crystal seem evil. Grant is good as Blake. But he not old enough to play Blake. The casting is way off. I rather watch reruns of the old Dynasty instead.
ITA
The ratings for last night indicate an audience of under 1 million, way below the daily ratings for GH and DAYS. This reboot is a bust.
If you loved the original Dynasty, then in my opinion, you will LOVE this version. Please give it a try!! I was completely surprised at how much this version resembles the past version in tone and storyline. The updates to the characters bring this story into present day. The campiness is what Dynasty has always been about… EXCESS and EXTREMES! That is what made the original a classic and the new version is off to a great start! PLEASE announce that Heather Locklear will be playing the role of Alexis!!! The gender switch for Sammy Jo is brilliant!!!
Seriousy? You must be on their payroll.
A
The original is the BEST!! Need I say more!
No where near as good as the original. If it was anywhere but on the CW it would be gone already.
I heard the ratings are horrible…won’t last at all…Doesn’t Hollywood know that you cannot really redo a classic?
The same can be said last year with Riverdale where it was averaging only a million viewers per episode but then it reached a series high twice its average on its season premiere.
Grade C-
Too many changes from the original series
The characters of Blake and Fallon are the best.
I will keep watching hoping it gets better…
It’s not good. Nothing near the great show the original was. I’ll be surprised if it lasts til Christmas.
The series is gawd awful..
I’m out ..
Look, Grant Show has tried to be the lead in every show he has been in and ummm………he can’t hold up his part of the deal…this show is stupidity personified. I can guarantee you that no bars across the country will have a Dynasty night like in the 80’s. I will recommend perhaps a celebration when this stupid effort goes up in flames and is replaced by a reboot of Mr. Ed, with Grant Show playing the horse.
i couldn’t pass this up. Hilarious Mateo. Like i said in another post this show should be called TRAVESTY. It’s so different it’s outright jarring. This show isn’t even for Gossip Girl fans. The knock off Empire type music is insulting at best. It seems at the outset they may have wanted to replicate the original in some way but threw in the towel. It’s definitely NOT must see like the new Will and Grace..still hilarious.
Okay, here’s the guy who, just last week, expressed loyalty to the Dynasty brand and fervent, if not misguided, hope for the reboot… I just have to say, once and for all, anytime oral sex is simulated/depicted on film or TV, it is disgusting and it tarnishes the entire enterprise! So Dynasty is now 2 for 2. Which characters will be simulating oral sex in episode 3? Will such scenes becomes a staple for the show? Akin to the requisite physical altercations between Alexis and Krystle? I don’t care about the gender or sexual orientation of each participant, anytime this… Read more »
hi Jamesj75 ,,
If it had pornography scenes I might have stayed tuned in.
And sex no longer has a shock value, it’s too common.
and oral sex being simulated is hoohumm..
Dynasty is simply gawd awful no excuses can erase that fact.
Hi su0000:
You absolutely crack me up! 🙂
Thanks for your reply! All your points are well taken.
Take care, Friend!
hey James..
To me– the problem is this Dynasty is still hanging in a past era..
example..
Murder on the Orient Express is a great classic, nothing can take its’ greatness away.
Now, it has been remade and not remade to destroy the original but to give us the 2017 ”difference” and it looks awesome!
Dynasty failed to come into the 21st century, to be the same yet very different, it is stuck in where it came from..
The revived Murder on the Orient Express is simply showing a 2017 high tech makeover..
Nov. I’m going to be in the line at the opening.
Agree. The Starr Report and the nightly news reports for almost two years drained the snake of its potency. Pun intended! 😉
Brother…I tried giving Dynasty 2017 a chance. Sorry, Brother…but I don’t buy any of it!!!!! At all. LONG LIVE THE ORIGINAL DYNASTY (1981-1989)…PERIOD!!!!!
Later, Brother.
Yes, jaybird369, the original Dynasty was something special! Most of the time…
Well said…and those scenes you mentioned is totally uncalled for..does nothing to the story but gives it a sleazy feel…
Thank you, Jimh!
Could not believe how bad it was.
I suspect nuDynasty would go over better if we had Bill Conti’s original theme pushing the thin scenes forward.
The first season of the original DYNASTY was pretty much a snooze fest so I’m not writing this reboot off just yet. It’s from the creators of GOSSIP GIRL and Sallie Patrick from REVENGE so the talent is there. I think some viewers are thrown off by the fact that it’s not a carbon copy of the original which would have been a ridiculous route to take — if you knew what was going to happen why would you tune in each week? I’m still not sold on some of the casting but then I wasn’t a fan of everyone… Read more »
The original was pure escapism, which is what this version has the potential to be! Fallon being pushed into an open grave was the best thing I have seen since the original Krystle & Alexis cat fights from the 80’s!!
True it is not anywhere near what the original was, yet I’m going to give it a chance Fallon is making it worth a chance. She really steals the show.
I think it was – Cristal – who steals the show
she really surprised me in a good way.
she was confident and didn’t overact her play
from the catfight w/Fallon to the fallout of her “affair” with Claudia husband.
dang he “looked” like a good actor
I don’t think i’ll be tuning in… the first thing I thought of during the opening – with all that gold and riches.. was Trump. not a good feeling.
Nathalie Kelley – a force to be reckon
haha, Patrick…”gold and Trump.” I hear ya!
I really like new dynasty! Its fun and tacky at same time
Well, from all I’ve read here, “tacky” doesn’t begin to cover it…..
I get that folks don’t like this show. But please look at seasons 1 – 3 of the original which ranged from hot mess to dull. Blake was always a stiff board. Crystal was always uninteresting. At least here they attempt to fix that. Nasty Fallon was the best thing about S1. But then they paired her with Derwood and she turned in to Stepford Wife Fallon. Steven slipped in and out of gay. Season one he was paired with the always a little crazy Claudia and then Sammi Jo. Actor quit over this trepidation. Blake who had a murderous… Read more »
Should be a period BTW Blake was given a pass. Horned up chauffeur was a new sentence. Although Blake as a horned up chauffeur would be ratings gold!
There’s a lot to like about Dynasty. Big, sprawling family saga. Interesting relationships, glamorous sets, beautiful actors – there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be a success. But why? Last time I saw Krystle she was a tall platinum blonde and Blake was silver fox.
Why reimagine these characters? Give it its own themes and personalities. The writers better make sure the characters have good stories to play or we won’t care about them and won’t watch. And why don’t we have the original theme song?! I miss those final two notes!
Rated D. The casting is way off. I do like Grant Show as Blake. Crystal was a cool blonde not a hot Latina. SammyJo could have been cast as a hot Latina not a gay man. Jeff was a waspish goody mild tempered Yuppie. Fallon’s casting gets a B+ The story lines suck (no pun intended). Denver is oil – Atlanta is peaches. That was the first mistake. I’m sure it is because is much cheaper to shoot in Atlanta than Denver. Also the climate is more conducive to outdoor filming. Overall very disappointing. I will DVR the first season.… Read more »
The acting and writing is horrible. There is not a single characters that seems like an actual human-being. This is way worse than I expected.
I love it so far. Of course there are things I would love to change when it comes to casting. But the overall feel of the show has me glued. I love that they made ‘Chrystal’ Catty it will give a different spin on things. When she pushed her into the grave it gave me bumps and reminded me of the pool scene years ago. Give it a chance guys and stop nit picking everything.
I only saw the previews, and it look beyond dreadful-wrong casting and terrible acting. Why cancel the reboot of Dallas? The new series was so good, and paid respect to its history and iconic characters. I enjoyed the reboot of Dallas. The reboot of 90210, Melrose Place, and Dynasty should have never happened. I would much rather watch reruns of the original Dynasty!
I liked the reboot, guess I’m the only one :/ I like the different twists, glad it’s not like the original.
I have to look at it two different ways. First compared to the original and to tell the truth…there is no comparison. It gets an F. But on it’s own…so far it has not been quality must see likable TV. When I have to strain to enjoy a show it’s not a good one and this just isn’t that good. The acting is flat, the story is flat and the drama is non-existent. I don’t even find any of the characters to be likable and there is o one to root for. So again it gets an F. Maybe I’m… Read more »
