KNOTS LANDING

[j swift]

It is definitely marketed to a niche audience.  But, even if one were a fan of glass block, and was willing to repaint the exterior. By the time you ripped out the kitchen and the bathroom to this century's standards, you might as well just tear down the whole house.

So, @Vee, while I appreciate you offering to buy it for me as a surprise (which is why I assume you didn't tag me), I think I'll pass.

Yup. Unfortunately, you get the feeling she spends hours each day studying her face for new lines and misses the full picture. As you said, she has filler all over her face but for some reason won't go for the lips - I assume it's the lines in the face that annoys her. Add that she's unhealthily thin for her age...

Exactly - either you'd need to largely keep it the way it is or you'd just need to do such an overhaul that it's not worth keeping the structure up.

I noticed in some of the youtube podcast interviews that Joan usually wears a lot of stuff that covers the back of her hands and neck. It's been a while since Ted has appeared in public.....is he OK ?

David Jacobs house is not of my personal taste. It's very 80's modern/art deco. I prefer traditional style homes. On KL Gary and Val's house was a type of a California take on a colonial. I guess you could call it a California Colonial. I liked their house and Richard & Laura's house and Gary's ranch. I liked Southfork and Pam's homes on Dallas. The Lawrence home on Family and the Bradford home on Eight Is Enough were nice too.

Looking at his house, you suddenly understand why KNOTS went pastels crazy in the late '80's, lol.

I can't believe that this show is still NOT available for streaming. It feels like everything, the most obscure old TV shows, are available for streaming but not KNOTS. Does anyone have any info on why?

[Khan]

In a word: music rights.  (Okay, that's two words, lol).

Streaming KNOTS on any platform is a challenge due to music rights, or so we've been told over the years by various folks.  Whenever they paid for the use of particular pieces of music, it was for a limited number of airings (don't know exactly how many).  Never had it occurred to producers that episodes still would be repeated decades later in syndication, let alone on the Internet.

[1974mdp]

And, I wonder what the process and cost would be to replacing the background music.

[Khan]

I don't think it's that simple, though.  You could replace most of the background music, but what about the pop/rock songs that Lisa Hartman often performed on the show as Ciji (and later, as Cathy)?  You'd have to edit out those performances entirely, which, in turn, would affect the continuity of storylines, since music played an integral part in the storytelling during those years.

Or in some cases, cut 10-15 mins from the episode lol.

[Khan]

Exactly, lol!  So many episodes would end up being so short with so many plot holes left unexplained, lol.

[1974mdp]

Such a shame because when this show was good, it was REALLY good.

[Vee]

The one silver lining with the mess at GH is I can get back to my clear true calling: 35+ year old episodes of Knots Landing.
