I forgot how well Val was written and treated in these early episodes.

The Lie just played.. and while it was a great showcase for Laura... Val had some great scenes throughout the episode.. and the best scenes were where she wasn't saying anything.. it was all in her expressions.  Lots of subtext... something the Latham's would know nothing about.

I don’t get these FAST services which don’t have a regular schedule. It just doesn’t work for a serialized show like this. Just run one episode per day at a certain time (and they can repeat that same episode later in the day). And if they want to do marathons, that’s what the weekends are for.

These streaming channels aren’t really about trying to make a successful programing block, they’re just utilizing space with old content that would collect dust otherwise. The channels that can pick up 10k or so viewers consistently are considered easy wins and they don’t care about the audience watching all of the episodes because the show will play on endless loop for ages anyway. CBS used to put more effort into actual blocks until they realized they got more consistent viewers running one series on repeat.

Dallas is 'on demand' on Freevee... Dynasty is free to watch on Pluto TV.

I think this is a first step for KL to see if it can obtain some interest in the streaming era.  They were successful in reruns back in the 90s/early 00s on TNT.. and even did ok on SoapNet... but no attempts at streaming have been done in the states that I could see.

In this method, you make a bit of coin showing it on a loop on the Primetime Soap channel.. and if something happens.. then we'll see it on a streaming format like Freevee On Demand.. or something like that.

On Plex, they have a Knots Landing page where it looks like you will eventually be able to select individual episodes from different seasons.  They just have not uploaded the episodes yet.  Maybe they are letting the series play all the episodes on the Primetime Soaps channel before allowing viewers to stream the individual episodes they want.

I'm guessing they might be trying to have people subscribe to the live channel first before putting everything on demand. But hopefully it'll happen after the first run through, but who knows.

Although, looking at it, Plex has a lot of pages for a lot of tv shows that aren't streaming so some might just be automated. 

A selection:

One for Homefront: https://watch.plex.tv/show/homefront

Also one for Flamingo Road: https://watch.plex.tv/show/flamingo-road

Cane: https://watch.plex.tv/show/cane

Berrenger's: https://watch.plex.tv/show/berrengers

2000 Malibu Road: https://watch.plex.tv/show/2000-malibu-road

Yellow Rose: https://watch.plex.tv/show/the-yellow-rose

Emerald Point NAS: https://watch.plex.tv/show/emerald-point-n-a-s

And so on... I guess there's some shows that don't show up (like Freshman Dorm or Kings Crossing), but it makes me wonder how many of these will ever find its way there.

Pretty sure a lot of those Plex pages are automated.

The stream has warped ahead to S8, apparently because of a name error - eps in both S3 and S8 named "Reunion". @DRW50 will be pleased to know the Jessica Walter episode has apparently caused this.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.

    • I stopped watching Another World in 1990. Simply, lost interest in the show.  I had watched the show from 1973 to 1990. The 90 minute show started the decline of AW.  NBC panicked with expanding AW due to the GH hoopla. As mentioned above, 1982 was a trainwreck for AW.  The introduction of the Shea family, the movie storyline involving Jamie, and Steve Frame favoring Rachel over Alice. The writers went into that direction due to the forgettable performance of Linda Borgeson.

    • Ive seen that theory thrown out but the one thing against it is that Leslie and her family lived in Chicago. She only came back to DC last year after her husband died. Unless they say Alan made a trip to DC and died while away, she wouldnt know about that. However I do think the angle of her finding out that Martin was involved could work as that gives her leverage against Bill too for covering it up. She'd want to get revenge on him by threatening to have him disbarred
    • What a good write-up @Errol! Nice seeing the nod to Duplaix's lead.
    • The Egypt location shoot was cancelled because of the Achille Lauro cruise ship hijacking
