Members kalbir Posted March 2 Members Share Posted March 2 Thank you @soapfan770 I had no memory of TNT rebroadcasts. Whenever any full episodes or clips turn up on YT/DM they are usually from Soapnet 2000-2003 recordings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members adrnyc Posted March 2 Members Share Posted March 2 NOOOOOOOOOOO! Those bastards. I'm right at the bottom 1/3 of Season 5. I'd only ever seen through Season 3. Luckily...kinda...I do have through Season 6 on DVD's that I got from a fan, like, 12 years ago. But they're transfers from VHS tapes recorded off the SoapNet airing. Not good quality. That's part of why I never made it past Season 3. I have to believe that, since someone went to the trouble of finally digitizing all the episodes that it'll find its way to another streaming service. Probably Max as others have posited on this board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted March 2 Members Share Posted March 2 You’re welcome @kalbir it’s funny as a late 80’s preteen I remember watching Dallas with my parents and siblings atill the bitter end along with other shows like Knots The Equalizer, LA Law, and shows like Scarecrow and Mrs King and Remington Steele yet Falcon Crest was a show I just occasionally watched and lost track of. I knew of Dynasty but it was always on a school night (although we were 8:00MT lol) I guess I have a fonder memory for the late 80’s primetime soaps in their later days than most because that’s when I started watching them even though they were past their prime in retrospect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted May 4 Members Share Posted May 4 “A shocking new show with s very familiar name!!” Good lord CBS, and why was Jane Wyman named last in this promo? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted May 4 Members Share Posted May 4 Falcon Crest final two seasons were not necessary and I feel they only happened because CBS was in their third place primetime mess era. Season 8 was a chore to get through and season 9 had a darkness and sadness surrounding it and it was painful to get through. A good amount of the final two seasons I was like "make it make sense". If we're keeping it real, after watching Falcon Crest episodes I was surprised it made it past Spring 1986. 1985/86 was the season tanking was cemented (signs of tanking were showing during the last 10 episodes of 1984/85) as the storylines were so start and stop and most of them didn't really work. I will admit 1986/87 was an improvement but it was still tanking. 1987/88 it started going off the rails and Spring 1988 should have been the end. Spring 1988 to me feels like it should have been the natural end point for 1980s primetime soaps. Its so funny how the fortunes of CBS daytime and primetime were in opposite directions by Fall 1989: killing it in daytime w/ all four soaps at full strength plus the game show block but an absolute mess in primetime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soapfan770 Posted May 4 Members Share Posted May 4 While I found the Freilich era to resurrect the show and make it highly entertaining, I still vividly remember your satire post with Jane Wyman quotes several several pages back Khan Please register in order to view this content Dallas should’ve ended with Sue Ellen telling JR he’ll be the laughing stock of Texas while FC should’ve ended with Angela’s very ominous “I’ll be back” to Melissa. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted May 4 Members Share Posted May 4 Well, last is usually considered a "star spot". I'm more confused with Mark Lindsay Chapman being named in this - he was hardly famous and not even a regular! I do think it's interesting how they just promoted it as a new show. Though it makes sense - I actually think it's probably a much more well-plotted and written season that a lot of them. But they could've pretty much just named it Falcon Crest: New Beginnings or something... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
