I once heard Joan Collins remark that she was very concerned that her “Dynasty” co-star, John Forsythe, was always in grave danger of suffocating in his own embrace.

Which leads me to the question, would Ward and June have been faithful viewers of ABC’s 1960s nighttime soap opera, “Peyton Place,” which featured two former LITB performers, the lovely Barbara Parkins and the late and unfailingly self-effacing Ryan O’Neal?

June went into the den, turned on the new window air conditioner, and watched Peyton Place, while Ward read a book in the living room.

Yes, I think that “Peyton Place” would be a guilty pleasure for June. She would never let Aunt Martha know that she watched PP two nights a week.

As to Ward’s tv viewing preferences, I could see him tuning in regularly to watch “Bonanza,” “Wild Kingdom” and “Combat,” starring the late, great Vic Morrow as a war-weary GI.

Any idea where we can watch PP? I have watched the movie.

I think you can find some Peyton Place tv episodes on YouTube.

Like several other series, the DVD home video petered out after a season or two. If I recall correctly, the color seasons never came out at all.
