I can't wait! The cliffhanger was great with a coffin being put to the ground and not knowing who had been killed.

Pretty much although I did think Lorenzo Lamas was hot. I still preferred Billy Moses over Lorenzo.

Hahaha...yet Falcon Crest was lucky to be placed right after Dallas.

So Jamie Rose was annoying AND had a stupid hairstyle. I don't understand why a woman would want to look like a poodle.

Falcon Crest wasn't a great show but they were genius at casting some of their key roles. Susan Sullivan was the perfect type for the long-suffering heroine you wouldn't get sick of, Ana Alicia was gorgeous, sexy, and crazy, and sympathetic, Lorenzo Lamas and Billy Moses were cute, David Selby was debonair and good fun, and Jane Wyman was, after she got into her groove, addictive. The woman who played Emma was good too.

If anyone wants to see an Ana Alicia interview and photos I posted one in the Ryan's Hope thread yesterday.

Forgot about Margaret Ladd as Emma Channing :wub:

I thought their first three or four seasons were good and then they just started going downhill leading to that dreadful last season with Gregory Harrison :blink::wacko:

That cover looks pretty...but what a weird picture to go in the center. No Julia, Lance, Cole, or Richard? But Vickie gets a spot.

I have the S1 release and I'm loving it so far, though I've read that the first season isn't really a favorite among fans (or maybe I'm just not looking around enough). Of course, there are comparisons to Dallas, but I don't think that FC is too much like D. The characters on FC, so far at least, are generally benevolent and well-meaning. Even Angela is pretty tame in the first season. There's a more positive atmosphere, and I like that. Early Dallas sorta leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth because, much as I absolutely love it, the Ewings, from the jump, are a pretty corrupt family in so many ways. The FC gang is more laid-back, and I like the fact that we actually see them working in the fields and in the labs.

That said, I'm so excited for S2 on DVD!! I haven't gotten to Melissa's debut yet, but what I'm really looking forward to is Ana Alicia's first appearance! She's just...:wub:...in the two episodes I've seen her in. And a triangle with her, the sexy version of Lorenzo Lamas, and that hunky WRM (who, yes, has a lovely ass)? I need to see that!

I love FALCON CREST. In Europe, we have the 2 first seasons on DVD...now we are waiting for the season 3...the problem with the season 1 and season 2 is that the DVDs don't have any extras and there are no teasers at the beginning of each episode...but...FC is the best!!! In my country, FC was a hit!!!!!!

Season 2 is where it really picks up steam, Selby joined the cast, etc, and it became a full on campy soap.

So apparently this release is only a MOD release--made on demand (and hence will be burned DVDs, not pressed?) I'd prefer pressed but seriously, MOD releases probably make the most sense with these long running soaps--the first seasons will always sell much better than later ones. If there are no plans, as I hope there are, to release more Knots after Dallas is done, maybe they could take up the MOD format. (I wish though they'd do MOD with Amazon as some others have just as that would be easier for me to deal with--well and I have a lot of Amazon gift cards and none for Warner Bros :P)

    • I did some research and the story wrapped up with a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he fell to his death. So there was a supernatural element.
    • AI has it wrong. David was working as an aide at PV Hospital due to failing to save his brother's life and refusing to continue as a doctor. His true profession was revealed later. Edna had divorced him while he was in Vietnam and he had no reason to be in contact with her. He had no idea that he had a daughter.  Ruth was Ruth Martin, she was still married to Joe, not Jeff. He was not deceiving Ruth as he believed that Edna was his ex. The poisoning story happened late in his run and probably introduced when they knew Gleason was leaving. AI's interpretation of him as conniving seems to based on that short lived poisoning story and other misinformation. For most of 76 he was involved in the Ruth/Joe triangle to the point where Ruth was ready to divorce Joe and leave town. Joe had to have surgery, David operated and Ruth suddenly realized she wanted to stay with Joe despite all the problems they'd been happening. David then got involved with Christina with Jeff and then Edna as complications. And he arrived late 75 not 76.
    • Interesting that they started going into a supernatural direction with ghosts - I don't think they really did that before? I wonder if it was a response to getting put so late in the afternoon and I guess trying to appeal to that former Dark Shadows audience? 
    • That makes sense then! Is there a place where you can read more Daytime Serial Newsletters? They sound very informative. Thank you

    • Yep. Access to the Vault works fine but upon downloading attempts an error message pops up.   Maybe it is just a temporary glitch.

    • I'm pretty sure this ep is  from Dec 73 From the Daytime Serial Newsletter Ian and Valerie Northcote are deeply concerned over Laurie's  life being increasingly dominated by hallucinations and fantasies about Georgina, the former owner of the house the Reddins recently bought and are now living in. Doreen Post (Linda Purl) was involved in that story .Perhaps she was going to be revealed as Georgina's daughter? Wonder how that story evolved and whether it was wrapped up before cancellation? and thanks to @skylark
