There are epic TVscenes, and then there are epicTVscenes.

In the latter category, we takeyou back to the memorable lily pond catfight on '80s soapDynasty.It's a classic piece of over-the-top drama-some might call it cheese-which has stood the test of time.

For those who weren't sentient in the 1980s or were busy watching sitcoms, the conniving Alexis (Joan Collins) finally goes too far, prompting the long-suffering Krystal (Linda Evans) to call her a miserable b$%@, while lunging at her and toppling them both into the water, where hair pulling, punching, splashing, kicking, and scratching ensue. Relive it here:

Now you can re-enact the scandalous scene on a daily basis in the very same lily pond. It, along with its accompanyinggreat estate known as Arden Villa, is now available for a mere $25 million. And there's no need to fight overit.

While Dynasty was set in Denver, much of it was filmedin Pasadena, CA,with many of the exteriors shot at the famous (or infamous, as the listing calls it) Arden Villa, where many otherTV shows and movies over the decades were filmed.

The mansionwas originally built in 1913, designed by the prestigious firm of Marston & Van Peltfor railroad hei r and mining tycoon William KennonJewett and his second wife, who presided over Pasadena society for many years.

In 1997 it was sold for a mere $3.5 million. Public records show that it last changed hands in 2013, when Spring Breakers producer David Zander sold it to Guang Geoffrey Ren for $20 million. You won't have to pull anyone's hair, but you will need to pull out a sizable wallet to make this iconic residence your very own.
