Yeah, I would prefer a Knots Landing-style ending to a Good Times-style ending. Don't put too tight a bow on it.

So Agnes is really fighting to keep AMC going? I'm genuinely surprised. I thought she'd just call it a day, especially at her age. That woman is made of steel. I hope she can do it. Not because I want to keep AMC going, although I would like that, but just because it would be so seriously badass if she could pull it off. How cool would it be if this elderly woman was able to resurrect a show that was killed because of mismanagement by misogynistic, ageist bigots?

Knowing that she's fighting for these shows hits me square in my "We saved Friday Night Lights!/Let's make a Firefly movie!" fangurl soul. I'd even go to a protest if Agnes asked. :lol:

None taken, she flopped at CBS...but then, she was with Dan Rather and was doomed to fail because he hated her so much. Just like Barbara Walters/Harry Reasoner in the 70s.

She was much better suited to ABC News, just as Katie Couric would be. The problem is, like Connie Chung, she'd be the third heavy hitting woman there (Barbara and Diane being the others) and also like Connie Chung, she'd soon realise that at ABC News, three is a crowd.

Katie Couric really should take the syndicated deal, if it flops she's still a very rich woman and can fade into shiny Manhattan obscurity. Really, she should just quit the business period. Her time has come and gone and she doesn't have the guts of Diane or Barbara to last.

If she continues to be in demand and she loves the work, why should she quit? Not getting the Katie hate. IMO she's somewhat of a lightweight but good for her for taking advantage of the opportunties presented to her. What woman in her position wouldn't do the same?

No, wait. I'll take a "Good Times"-style ending, provided that AMC ends exactly like "Good Times" did, right down to Jesse and Tad running into each other's arms b/c they've just learned they're moving into the same apartment building.

:lol:

Kendall finds out she is pregnant.

Erica says oh my baby is having a baby.

Opal is the new head buyer at the boutique and tells Erica.

Bianca tells Erica she is moving out and living with her lesbian lover and going back to college.

Jesse becomes a famous cartoon artist painter and sells his first paiting for millions called DinoAngie!!

Ryan is contacted by the Chicago Bears to be their star running back.

Erica and Opal scream for joy when they find out they will be next door neighbors.

    • That's true. He may have ended up keeping her on a recurring basis, like Dr. Michaels on ATWT. I'm trying to remember if GL had a similar long-running therapist.
    • Oh in terms of ratings I think it would have been in a dicey place probably even before then. I mostly was just thinking of if the show could have carried on creatively. 
    • Even if by some miracle Knots Landing continued, 1994/95 it would have been killed by ER.

    • Assuming that Marland had been allowed to write the Carrie story the way he'd envisioned, Millette would've been involved in the story. And she might've played a role in Andy Norris' return (if the speculation on that had ever materialized, and Marland loved bringing back bad boys) But he doesn't seem interested in Sara's personal life. And the women of Springfield could only be analyzed so much.
    • This better be something, because as I said, so far it's just cliches and stereotypes -- the story we've heard a thousand times about the homeless person who doesn't want a home and prefers to live on the streets.
    • @rsclassicfanforever thank you very much for the recent uploads of season 13 containing some episodes that were skipped or glitchy on YouTube!  I had a look at 3172 though and there is no audio for most of it? Would you have a copy with complete audio? Fingers crossed! Thanks again!

    • I like Margaret well enough in what I've seen of her as Paige - she is green but she has real star power.  I agree about the actor who plays Brian. He's...mostly just there. Not bad but not great.  My main issue is with the guy who plays Owen. He's just not appealing to me. I can believe Nola being obsessed with him, but he's draining to watch.  I'm surprised people objected to the quasi-incest elements as it wasn't anything that new for soaps.  Speaking of Kim, here's a rare episode of an anthology show she did called The Evil Touch.

    •   I get what you're both saying, and I think the show was lucky to have even made it that long, but I think they could have still maintained a certain audience - Second Chances did before the earthquake. CBS was an older network anyway. I think the premise of Knots was still usable, it was more the characters who were a problem - many of the older figures were played out. If the show had done a better job building up its younger cast instead of making so many poor choices in the late '80s and early '90s, they could have kept things going a little longer.
