This was my all time favorite show when it came on. It was also my introduction to The WB. 7th Heaven came on before it but after that religious garbage was over, then came the fun show!

SAVANNAH had amazing stories and great actors. I do remember the TV Guide cover with all 3 actresses. I think it said something like Vixens, Vamps, and Va-va vooms! The show was also getting cross promotion within The WB like a mention on the show Unhappily Ever After and Sister, Sister.

Unforunately my cable company at the time cancelled WGN which The WB was on so I was left with the season finale cliffhanger where Lane was so doped on drugs that she was about to miss her own wedding! I didn't even find out that there was a second season until a year or two after it's cancellation.

Such a classic gem.

I LOVED 'Savannah' but can remember very little outside the premier and the finale. I believe both of the episodes are on youtube or were at one point or the other. I love Jamie Luner's Peyton and remember the trial where her mother revealed Reese and Peyton were sisters and all the drama that would ensue from that. There was also a rather sweet romantic scene between David Gail's cop and Robyn Lively's reporter where they were stuck in a hotel room due to a storm or something and they had to share a bed. Lively's character wasn't ready for sex yet so Gail put pillows between them to respect her need for distance.

It's a shame 'Savannah' hasn't been released on DVD.

    • Were those reasons to do with having younger children on set? Other shows seem to manage. The ageing up of the kids has been one of the mistakes the show has made.
    • I agree.  Lemay was supposed to start in early 88 and we saw some of the writing on the wall with character reference from the past.  Notably, the core families Frames, Cory, Matthews.  The stupid Reginald Love was wrapped up.  Not even a year later Mary was written out of the show along with Vince and the McKinnons who came and left .  The previous writers tried to introduce a new family that never aspired with the viewers.  1988 was focused on the 25th anniversary of show in 1989 and suspect why Lemay was asked to come back in 88.  Prior to 1988, the storylines were so DOOL stupid.
    • That's true. He may have ended up keeping her on a recurring basis, like Dr. Michaels on ATWT. I'm trying to remember if GL had a similar long-running therapist.
    • Oh in terms of ratings I think it would have been in a dicey place probably even before then. I mostly was just thinking of if the show could have carried on creatively. 
    • Even if by some miracle Knots Landing continued, 1994/95 it would have been killed by ER.

    • Assuming that Marland had been allowed to write the Carrie story the way he'd envisioned, Millette would've been involved in the story. And she might've played a role in Andy Norris' return (if the speculation on that had ever materialized, and Marland loved bringing back bad boys) But he doesn't seem interested in Sara's personal life. And the women of Springfield could only be analyzed so much.
    • This better be something, because as I said, so far it's just cliches and stereotypes -- the story we've heard a thousand times about the homeless person who doesn't want a home and prefers to live on the streets.
    • @rsclassicfanforever thank you very much for the recent uploads of season 13 containing some episodes that were skipped or glitchy on YouTube!  I had a look at 3172 though and there is no audio for most of it? Would you have a copy with complete audio? Fingers crossed! Thanks again!

    • I like Margaret well enough in what I've seen of her as Paige - she is green but she has real star power.  I agree about the actor who plays Brian. He's...mostly just there. Not bad but not great.  My main issue is with the guy who plays Owen. He's just not appealing to me. I can believe Nola being obsessed with him, but he's draining to watch.  I'm surprised people objected to the quasi-incest elements as it wasn't anything that new for soaps.  Speaking of Kim, here's a rare episode of an anthology show she did called The Evil Touch.
