Season four of Dynasty found the series enjoying the peak of its popularity; after that, things could only go downhill -- and alas, they did. On the docket for this season are the Herculean efforts by Denver oil tycoon Blake Carrington (John Forsythe) to regain his financial empire after being systematically undermined by his vengeful ex-wife, Alexis (Joan Collins). Elsewhere, Blake's sexually confused son, Steven (Jack Coleman), vacillates between his long-suffering wife, Claudia (Pamela Bellwood), and his new boyfriend, Luke Fuller (William Campbell). Meanwhile, Blake's oversexed daughter, Fallon (now played by Emma Samms, taking over from Pamela Sue Martin), disappears, prompting her lovesick ex-husband, Jeff (John James), to embark upon a nationwide search, leaving his present spouse, Kirby (Kathleen Beller), in the lurch. New to the series in season five are Billy Dee Williams as Brady Lloyd, the record-executive husband of Blake's half-sister, Dominique (Diahann Carroll); Ali MacGraw as high-profile photographer Lady Ashley Mitchell, with whom Blake briefly dallies; and in his last TV role, Rock Hudson as millionaire horse breeder Daniel Reece, whom Blake's wife, Krystle (Linda Evans), takes up with in her hubby's absence. The most prominent of the series' newcomers is Catherine Oxenberg as Alexis' long-lost daughter Amanda. It is Alexis' engagement to Prince Michael of Moldavia (Michael Praed) that sets the stage for Dynasty's fourth-season cliffhanger finale: the infamous "Moldavian Massacre." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The ratings for Dynasty continued to soar as the nighttime soap opera pursued its fourth season on ABC. The big news this year is the return of Denver oil millionaire Blake Carrington's (John Forsythe) bisexual "black sheep" son Steven, formerly played by Al Corley but now portrayed by Jack Coleman. Reported killed in a horrible accident in Indonesia, Steven was saved by the Herculean efforts of a team of physicians -- including a plastic surgeon, hence his astonishing "new look." Steven spends most of the season enmeshed in a bitter custody battle with father Blake over little Danny, his son by wife Claudia (Pamela Bellwood). Meanwhile, Blake has plenty of non-custodial headaches thanks to his vengeful ex-wife, Alexis (Joan Collins), who succeeds in toppling his financial empire. Also showing up for the first time at the tail end of season four is African-American pop singer Dominique Deveraux (Diahann Carroll). And how does Dominique fit into the series' hitherto all-white shenanigans? Well, it seems that thanks to a long-ago indiscretion by Blake Carrington's father, Dominique is actually Blake's half-sister -- and like everyone else in the Carrington orbit, she has shown up to demand her share of the estate. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The second (and first "full") season of T.J. Hooker finds the titular police sergeant (William Shatner) taking on wider responsibilities than his "official" job as trainer at the LCPD Academy Precinct. Along with Hooker, hotheaded rookie cop Vince Romano (Adrian Zmed) is back, as is T.J.'s no-nonsense superior, Captain Dennis Sheridan (Richard Herd). Gone, however, is trainee Vicki Taylor (April Clough), replaced by a new rookie named Stacy (Heather Locklear), who happens to be Captain Sheridan's daughter. Although most of the season's storylines focus on the Hooker - Romano relationship -- Romano has the makings of a good cop, but he's still too reckless and impulsive for his own good -- Stacy is able to prove her worth in record time, and by season's end she has embarked upon her first week of field training. Her new partner is veteran cop Jim Corrigan (played by James Darren), who had previously appeared on the series as a drag racer named Devil Dan Danko in the episode "King of the Hill." As the season progresses, the character of Hooker's ex-wife Fran (Lee Bryant), who figured prominently in the earliest episodes, fades into the background, save for a spectacular "comeback" in "The Hostages." This doesn't get Hooker off the hook, as it were, in matters of male-female relationships, as witnessed by a midseason episode in which our hero clashes with new police commissioner Ms. Cooke (Laraine Stephens), who doesn't agree with his methods. Of special interest during season two are the re-teamings of William Shatner with his former Star Trek co-star Leonard Nimoy, who not only portrays Lt. Paul McGuire in "Vengeance is Mine," but also serves as director for another episode, "The Decoy" (with Stacy, naturally, in the title role). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

William Shatner stars as T. J. Hooker in this pilot for the long-running TV cop series. As our story opens, the sandpaper-tough Hooker is reeling from a recent divorce and the death of his partner. Thus when T.J. is put in charge of a group of rookies, it's no picnic for anyone. Also appearing in this 90-minute pilot film is Adrian Zmed, who would remain on the subsequent series (at least until 1985) as trainee Vince Romano. Heather Locklear, the second most famous T.J. Hooker alumnus, was absent from the pilot, and in fact wouldn't show up on the series until the second season. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

When the national finals approach, a couple baton twirlers feel intense parental pressure to win the competition in this satirical made-for-television movie. ~ Kristie Hassen, Rovi
