Knots Landing

For sure, Larry Hagman/J.R. could have returned after DALLAS was finished.  They didn't even need to address the fact that Bobby was still alive on the mothership!

And if I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: J.R. returning to Knots Landing and asking Val to co-write/ghost write his memoirs is a story that writes itself, lol.

Patrick Duffy caused a whole lot of damage when he insisted they kill Bobby off. He then came back (when he couldn't get work) and caused even more damage.

It killed the Knots crossovers.

It wiped an entire Dallas season worth of storylines.

It killed the budget to pay his sorry A-- more than he was ever worth.

It caused the loss of long term cast members.

It made Victoria Principal and her character Pam a laughing stock.

It made a mockery out of fans.

It made Patrick even more smug and insufferable and it came through the character of Bobby.

Donna would've never stayed with Gary. Ultimately, Abby was pragmatic enough to stay with Gary because she needed him to be able to make it. I don't see Donna sticking around once Gary starts boozin' and sleeping with Ciji. She had her own money and career, so why bother? 

I'd also see Abby being bored with Ray being such a push-over quickly. She loves a challenge.

Not how it happened exactly. Without the insistence of Larry Hagman and the return of Leonard Katzman, Duffy likely wouldn't have returned. He may not have gotten the big roles he likely thought he [may] get but he still worked following his Dallas departure. Blaming Duffy for accepting the return is not where the blame should be: blame Hagman and Katzman.

"The Drew Carey Show" at number one?  WTF??

I'd like to think that David Jacobs (RIP) would be delighted to see his baby become a hit again all these years later.

    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.
    • Jordan was gone from '87 to mid-'89. He left just weeks after Robert's late '86 return.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.
    • Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING. 
    • Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested. 
    • Garneau was in the Liberal party and his riding was in Montreal. He was the first Canadian in outer space.
