DYNASTY (ABC) Episode Guide: Season 2 (1981-1982)


I believe most "DYNASTY" episode guides available on the web (at least on the prominent sites like imdb.com, TV.com, epguides.com, etc.) come from the same source (the defunct tvtome.com) as they all contain the same airdate errors - in fact, the official DYNASTY DVDs appear to have used the same information. Here is therefore not only a more comprehensive, but also a more accurate DYNASTY episode guide.


Most guides list season 2 to have commenced November 4, 1981 - actually that was the original schedule which had to be altered at the last moment (I assume due to live sports programming). Therefore the first 7 episodes are normally listed a week early. Also, an episode that aired in March ("Mother and Son") is listed a week early. There are additional errors in later seasons as well. For now, here is season 2:
