Imagine if FC were done in this day and age, with someone like Ryan Murphy or Marc Cherry at the helm....

Apparently there is a reboot in the works..... http://www.tvmediainsights.com/highlights/32608/falcon-crest-reboot-in-the-potential-works/ I disagree that you can't bring dead characters back (Melissa and/of Maggie). Only old folks (like me) remember their deaths. Heck, Melrose Place brought Sydney back to life only to stupidly kill her off. Regardless, it will be interesting to see if this gets picked up.

Cute little Falcon Crest promo at about 37 minutes. It's nice to see something so fun as the promos for this show were often heavy. Jane Wyman seems to be having a ball.

I am at the end of Season 1.

First, where can I watch 4 plus since the DVD's have apparently stopped.

I read ahead and discovered Julia's goes, well, crazy. Was that always planned? Kinda disappointing.

On the official Falcon Crest Fan Club website there is an interview with writer-producer Robert L. McCullough, who reveals how problematic Abby Dalton (Julia) was to the writers. Among other things, she'd call up and complain how she had so little to do in given episodes, even though she read ONLY her scenes and no one else's. I feel like the decision to have her be Carlo Agretti's murderer and then later go off the rails was their way of keeping her on the show at a minimum, thus eliminating the problem.

Another question. How quickly did the show go downhill compared to the big 3. I know KL was pretty durable (Granted I am biased because it became my favorite after watching the 3rd episode of season 3. The most believable death aftermath I have ever saw on prime time).

How quickly did the show go downhill compared to the big 3.

That probably depends on who you ask. I wasn't as much of a fan of FC as I had been of KNOTS LANDING or even DALLAS. However, I think the consensus among the majority of fans is that FC was consistent until the penultimate season, when then-EP Jeff Freilich was forced out (according to another interview on the fan club site, Lorimar felt the show was getting too expensive) and Melissa Agretti (Ana-Alicia) killed off. After that, it was a pretty rapid slide in quality.

Melissa Agretti (Ana-Alicia) killed off.

I know about the love triangle although I have not watched it yet but killing her off seems so pointless! What was the deal with this show and killing off core characters like her, Chase, and Maggie!! I want to continue watching but at the same time knowing half the cast is going to die is kind of discouraging.

Also, if the show did come back would it be possible/feasible to bring back Maggie? I really don't like Chase at this point. Hope he gets better. I can't wait to see how Richard is.

Both Maggie and Chased died in the original run. As for your question when did the show go downhill was after the 86-87 season when Chase left IMO and then Melissa being killed off.
