On New Year's Day, take a timeout from all of those bowl games with SOAPnet's own Serial Bowl, a full-contact marathon of Dynasty episodes featuring six-hours of the series' best confrontations and cat fights. Dueling Dynasty divas Alexis Colby and Krystle Carrington face-off shoulder pad-to-shoulder pad.

Dynasty creator Esther Shapiro will be on the sidelines giving the play-by-play (via SOAPnet's "soapnotes" at the bottom of the screen) and offering exclusive behind-the-scenes information about each episode so that even the most casual soap spectator will be able to get the inside scoop on all the players.

The fun kicks off on Thursday, January 1st from 1pm - 7pm, ET/PT (repeating 7pm - 1am ET/PT).

UPDATE: Episode information is in the next post.
