If KL had been about four young/newlywed couples living in the same cul-de-sac, Kenny and Ginger might've had more story.  Unfortunately, as I've said in the past, the inclusion of Gary and Val made the Wards redundant.

Where can I continue to watch the show? Bc it’s definitely off of Prime now and only available to purchase. In what universe do you expect people to watch a 14-season, 344-episode series in less than a year’s time? I hate the fact that the show couldn’t just be treated like any other streaming classic TV series. Why in the hayle was it ever on Discovery+? Why was it ever listed as “unscripted” on Prime? Who tf was in charge of these things?

Okay, thanks. I wasn’t sure if it was still there, and I deleted that app once it and FC were added on Prime. Guess I gotta download it again!

It was last night. There was a countdown all week, and the last time I scrolled by, it was down to “165 minutes.” Just stupid.

Sounds like they just wanted to force people over to D+ or to buy it, but I guess both Knots and Falcon Crest must be performing moderately well on Prime if they put it back on.

No Knots people in this TV-movie, but the screenplay was co-written by John Pleshette and William Devane (both pre-Knots), which is crazy to me. I can't remember if either of them ever talked about this later on.

Wow you're flashing back to 86/87! I started watching the original air in the 5th season, so I completely missed the Kenny/Ginger/Richard/Ciji/Chip era, and my local stations did not have syndicated reruns. I was desperate to know the story from the earlier years, so these books were heaven to me.

Especially the first one -  "Secrets of Knots Landing" was in a diary format, with journal entries from all the leading ladies, covering plot for season 1 through 4. Whereas books 2 and onward zoomed in to more detailed stories based on a specific season.

Speaking of William Devane and John Pleshette. Constance McCashin have uploaded some recent photos of herself, William and John and a few others you might recognize.

I agree.  Don Murray, James Houghton and Kim Lankford might've been expendable, but writing out John Pleshette, Julie Harris and Constance McCashin, as well as losing Donna Mills, really hurt KNOTS in the long run.

Knots Landing went off the rails in the aftermath of Laura's departure and was effectively over when Abby left.

I love that Constance McCashin has always kept it real by saying she was salary dumped. Constance was also smart enough to realize that good roles for females were few and far between after a certain age and that's probably why she changed her career into one outside of the entertainment business where there was no pressure on her to maintain a certain look.

As for Donna Mills, she was smart to walk away when she did.

    • I love me some Anita and TT. They need to give her a good storyline and I know that it's coming. 
    • @Franko Thanks for tagging me. A few days ago I was talking in another thread about the rise of "snarky" critics for TV shows in the '90s online recaps, but this is just more along the lines of a mauling. There's also the unspoken reality that these were seen as movies for women, so therefore they sucked. Pauline Kael also had her share of blunt, at times incredibly nasty remarks, but the vitriol is often balanced by her love for film. I'm not seeing that here.  With that said, the comment about Field's work becoming unbearable describes how I felt when I tried to sit through her and Maura Tierney on ER. 
    • I skipped most of Daniel too. I think it's awful he has kids with Nicole, Csrky5 and Chloe and Brady, Bo and Philip do not.

    • Today was very focused on Bo and his illness.  I’m liking how everything is ultimately tied together, even though everybody doesn’t know it yet. The EJ connection seems a little sudden and random though. I’m guessing that that was not on Ron’s agenda. And I’m not really sure why any of these rich people couldn’t help the hospital months ago lol  But I really like how the whole sepsis drug thing is being written a lot more realistically than what we’ve grown accustomed to with Dr. Rolf and all of his wonder drugs. They’re definitely putting more of an effort into this storyline. It feels more real.  Philip was a little whiny and self-pitying today, but I also feel like the writing has improved for him as well. He’s coming off less like a villain and more like a tragic hero. I enjoyed his scene with Stephanie and hopefully it means that at some point, we’ll get a revival of Philip/ Stephanie/Alex. Tying it to Stephanie’s novel could be really good. And, the dorkiness of Xander and Sarah was really sweet too. I’m looking forward to their weekend together and what secrets may or may not come out lol 
    • "And I also want to flirt with every woman that comes my way... but then beat up anyone who talks to my wife. BECAUSE I'M A MAAAAAAAAAAAN." Give me a break with your ugly baby paintings... You're in the same category of the hacks that sell paintings with a single dot for thousands or even millions of dollars.

    • I have to check out his Bela Garody on Search for tomorrow. He was one of the main reasons EON worked for me when I was watching. Truly unforgettable presence. Handsome in the most perverse and sinister way. They don't make faces like that anymore. 
    • My favorite moment in SOAPDISH is the HW taking the star to the mall in NJ to improve "morale"!! 
    • Oh no! The shoulder pads! I will mourn them when they're gone. Please tell me the head pieces and hats remained!?
