Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Judith Krantz miniseries dominated 1980s television, creating the template for 'sex and shopping' prestige trash that paved the way for Dynasty and eventually Sex and the City.
The 191-minute runtime per episode was standard for network 'event' programming—ABC essentially made a four-hour movie and called it a miniseries to justify the budget.
