I didn't get interested until Lana Turner showed up and the big season finale with Julia brandishing a gun, BANG, and then the cliffhanger of all those ... feet... watching some one's coffin being interred. Great season finale.

I believe it was the following season when the opening theme was lengthened. It felt like an event.

I think the first season is as close to Hamner’s vision as you’re going to get. It’s after that that it truly became a serial (the first season had standalone stories with an overarching season-long arc. And it’s a very good season. Not as flashy as the other Lorimar serials, but solid.

To be honest, I'm not sure that would've lasted very long. The first 13 episodes are decent enough, but there's jarring moments like the Gioberti's realising Angela is messing with them, only to be friendly again without any indication of them having realized what Angela's doing. The show really got a jolt in the 14th episode which is where I suspect Hamner's original vision ended. I think he got a somewhat free reign of the first 13, then when CBS ordered a few more to close out the season, it starts changing quickly (and quite frankly for the better).
