I plan on doing the same in the new year with all my favorite sitcoms and drama shows. I realize it's better to have them on DVD, but it's just getting harder to collect them, when you see the condition they're in when they arrive in your mailbox.

And Falcon Crest and Knots Landing won't be released on DVD. I've lost hope on that happening. So I might as well get it completed digitally.

Amazon has seasons 5-9 available to purchase digitally for $17.99 per season. That's $90.00 for the five seasons.

About time!! Thanks for the heads up @Soapsuds

The Apple TV deal sounds more reasonable to me lol.

I agree that physical media is better. However these days I find it weird how unpredictable streaming is. Like the later seasons of Dynasty were MIA for years there, the later years of FC and of course KL have been absent for what felt like an eternity barring bootlegs and what not.

I’d prefer to at least purchase them so whenever the streaming Gods decide to yank them back to the Disney vault so to speak I at least have access. Plex is fine but the ADs are overkill and nothing good lasts forever.

Falcon Crest is now on Tubi, which has less ads than Plex.

It is. 😂

I'm not sure why Amazon doesn't offer the complete series at a lower price than their individual seasons.

I noticed that too but I'd rather have the episodes commercial free. I'm able to see an episode quicker.

LOL. Let me know how the quality is.

When FC was streaming on Prime at the later seasons had a polished look to them even in SD On the other hand for whatever some of later episodes on Plex often look like someone’s grainy VCR recoding straight up from 1987 or a poor quality recording off SoapNet.

I will

I've scanned a few episodes and the later season episodes look better. It varies.

It's par with the Knots release from what I've seen so far.

I know I've said this before, but the quality of the episodes doesn't matter so much to me, as long as the episodes are available (and preferably, without cuts made for syndication).

For seasons 5-9, which have never been released digitally for purchase, the cost comes out to $8.00 a season on Apple TV.

Good point. The whole Kim Novak story unlocked certain memories for myself lol.

As for Seasons 5-9 of Falcon Crest, I am always reminded of this quote from Soap Opera News a long time ago:

“But what happened next stunned fans. As the soap craze began to fade in the late ’80s, Falcon Crest leaned into even wilder storylines—kidnappings, conspiracies, international villains. Some say it jumped the shark. Others call it camp brilliance. By the time it ended in 1990, it had aired nine seasons and cemented its place in prime-time soap history.”

Reading back over this thread for the first 13 years FC had only made it to 27 pages. But ever since FC resurfaced in the spring of ‘22, we’ve been able to dissect even more even though it never even had the depth of something like Knots.

I ended up buying the whole series on Apple TV as a gift to myself 😄

Overall I scanned a couple different eps from S6-9 and the quality does look good. Nothing like Dallas’ HD remaster but hey it’s definitely worth it.

It's a steal at less than five dollars a season.

I love Christmas gifts from me to me.😂

No, it didn't.

If it lives on it's probably for Jamie Rose's brief stint on St. Elsewhere, when Bruce Greenwood's character, after screwing her over, hands her some flowers and says, "Red roses for a blue lady."

And I think the theme song did well.

God this is the worst CSO I have ever seen. It makes Dark Shadows look like Avatar.

@DRW50 Um, was Jamie Rose's Lady Blue really that much worse than Fred Dryer's Hunter or William Shatner's T.J. Hooker? Was Lady Blue really that much worse than, say, The A-Team? I've been wanting to check out Lady Blue for myself, especially the feature-length pilot. Unlike Hunter and T.J. Hooker, Lady Blue apparently never had Kimberly Beck as a guest star. Rose and Beck both sported perms during the mid-1980s, did they not?

The only thing missing from that opening are the words "A Golan-Globus Production."

@Khan Is it true that you are generally not a fan of action movies produced by The Cannon Group, Inc.? Morgan Fairchild appeared in a Cannon-produced version of Sleeping Beauty after she left Falcon Crest.

Probably was not worse, just seemed to get more negative press (maybe because the show was short-lived).
