4.0 out of 5 stars Flamingo Road rules, January 6, 2008

This is one of the best 80's tv shows. I remember coming in while my parents were watching it and I saw Morgan Fairchild for the first time (was about 8 or 9years old). Till this day, she is one of the most beautiful women to have ever graced the tv screens. The show was good for its time - better then the silly storylines of existing soaps. Constance's (Morgan Fairchild) and Titus' (Howard Duff) scheming and manipulating makes good viewing and leaves the viewer wanting more. There are also a couple of boring scenes escpecially those featuring Skipper (Woody Brown) and scenes of Elmo. Stella Stevens also does a good job as Lute-Mae Sanders (she looks like she could really be Morgan's mother - the resemblence is uncanny). The story basically goes: Claude Weldon had an affair with Lute-Mae Sanders and they had a daughter. Lute-Mae gave up the daughter to Claude. Claude married Eudora and led her to believe that he adopted Contance as their new daughter. He kept his affair (with her support) with Lute-Mae secret and also him fathering Constance. Contanstance grew up as a Weldon (but knew that she was adopted) and fell in love with the senators' son, Fielding Carlyle (portrayed by Mark Harmon). The senator died and Fielding was basically brought up under the guiding hand of Titus (the towns' sherrif). Titus (with the Weldons) ruled Truro. His ambition was to have Fielding marry Constance to further his (Fieldings') political career as state senator. In pops Lane Balou who puts a blot on Titus' plans to have Constance and Fielding living happily ever after. Fielding and Lane falls in love - enters Sam (John Beck) who also has a thing for Lane Balou. Lane becomes confused on who to choose and later ends up marrying Sam. Constance and Fielding doesn't have a good marriage and almost ends up in divorce (it doesn't happen though because she become paralysed).
Enter Michael Tyrone who beds both mother (Lute-Mae Sanders) and daughter (Constance Weldon Carlyle) and in his twisted revenge to ruin Truro for sentencing his father to death years before blurts out to Constance that she's the illigitimate daughter of the towns' Madam. From here on out, the plot changes to voodoo and weirdness.
There is a lot of bad acting (Cynthia Sykes springs to mind) but the beautiful people makes up for it and the storyline pre-voodoo makes for good viewing. Keep in mind that this is an old tv show (typewriters, no computers) - but is still quite enjoyable.
