THE COLBYS #2.14 "The Legacy"

They're baaack! And - with a bang! Tonight, in the first of the remaining 12 episodes, the Colbys cope with their sudden loss as an old menace returns.

Michael Parks makes his first appearance on the show as a pivotal character - in fact he was one of the first Colbys characters whom we had heard of (but never saw) on the parent show "Dynasty," many years before the writers invented Miles, Sable and the rest of the Colbys clan.

And the opportunity was not wasted, furthermore - his appearance provided a creative 'shot in the arm' for the series (though it came too late to save it from the network axe), as you will see in the coming weeks in these final episodes that originally aired on ABC in the winter of 1987.

EPISODE AIRDATE: Thursday, January 8, 1987 at 9:00-10:00pm EST/PDT on the ABC television network.

TV GUIDE SUMMARY: The details of Connie's will provide surprises for everyone.

EPISODE RANKING: 57th out of 70 shows for the week of Jan.5-11
