Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Oh, '80s prime-time soap opera: Where are you when we need you most?
First there was Dallas, the story of scheming oilman J.R. Ewing and his family in Texas. Then there came Dynasty, about oil tycoon Blake Carrington and his clan, which was set in Denver but filmed in California (even the mansion shown in the open credits was there). Both birthed spinoffs: Knots Landing, The Colbys, requisite reunion shows.
L.A.-based comedian Chad Fogland has come up with the story of conniving, wealthy J.T. Riley and his over-dramatic family -- a show called Denver. Finally, someone reveals what it's really like to live in the Mile High City! Video after the jump. -- Jared Jacang Maher
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
