Linda's death was the final blow for Knots (although I know many would argue that had happened years earlier and I do agree the show didn't have much longer left even if it had been sterling quality). I forgot the finale had some of that too.
The Anne story was truly bizarre and was another case of very out of touch personnel. I am aware there were plenty of stories about the homeless in 1991, but the tone of the story was more like something Bette Davis might have done in her lean years. And then you have Stuart Pankin, who was presumably just cast because someone was a big fan of Not Necessarily the News (I don't remember if he even had an exit).
The sad part is I don't even mind season 12...even the stupid Val story I could get through. But that finale is one of the worst I've seen of any show, and beneath Knots.
I didn't mind him but he definitely seemed like an odd fit for the show and you could tell they had no long-term plans.
I don't think any of the long-lost kids or relatives stories on Knots ever really clicked and some of the plotlines were so confusing (Peter wasn't actually Greg's brother, right?)
