This topic is beyond my ken, really; I just got a kick out of the huge hair (on the head) the few times I saw it.
It reminded me of Falcon Crest or Dallas.
Back in the mid 70’s A bunch of friends and I would go to The Price is Right in downtown seattle after work and have too many doubles at a buck a pop and then go to an X rated movie mostly to “crowd watch”. We only did it two or three times, but the legacy of that is, like you, I remember the “feel” of those movies and, to this day, will watch a poor quality “normal” movie from around that time and notice that it “feels like” I’m watching pr0n.
To be clear, I’m not proud of what we did and I’ve most definitely repented (I wasn’t even a Christian at the time), but the fallout is interesting.
