And it's mostly thanks to one woman - need I say whom, lol? - who might not be the world's greatest actress, but who captured viewers' attention and imagination nevertheless.

I mean, people loved Tad the Cad, and Greg and Jenny, and especially Jesse and Angie.  But you really can't think of AMC without thinking first of Erica Kane.

The online AMC revival would have had plenty of funds coming in had Erica Kane appeared on it.   That is a hill I'll die on.

The online show had a perfect way that she could have fit in without the toxic weight of Jack around her neck.   Dimitri was back, plus Brooke was back with a talk show.  I could have seen Brooke and Erica having competing talk shows with Adam egging on the feud between them because why wouldn't he like his two ex wife's battling it out.

Frankly, @Soaplovers, David Canary was in no condition by that point to participate more in the revival than he did.  Also, I think it would've been much more compelling to see Brooke and Erica attempt to co-host a "Hoda & Kathie Lee"-like chatfest, with "the network" believing that their history and chemistry would make for "appointment television," lol.

A small-town girl who had but one goal: to conquer the world.  That is Erica Kane, and that is why I love her and miss her to this day.

Of course, I love the modeling stuff from the '80's.  I thought those sequences were so well-produced.  But if I had to choose the quintessential "Erica Kane" moment, it'd have to be when she posed as a nun while on the lam for Kent Bogard's murder, hands down.  In fact, it's one of the reasons why I balked at the show's efforts years later to ground Erica in more realistic storylines involving drug addiction and childhood rape.  You might be able to tell those stories with Brooke, or with Natalie, but Erica was too larger-than-life for gritty dramas such as those.

^ I need to find some of these cards! Never knew they existed. SL is prominently represented.. the guy opening them is a little annoying though. He didn't watch the show.

I'd almost forgotten that Holland Taylor once was on AMC as a fashion designer.  Was she doing the show at the same time as she was co-starring in "Bosom Buddies"?

      Knots Landing

      By Vee · Posted

      I was/am mainlining both the Dream Season and Season 7 of KL together, since that was the year of their big creative swap. That's the most I can take of Dallas consecutively. But I've been very preoccupied with other shows and work IRL and I need to get back to it after a long break from my Knots binge.

      Ratings from the 1990s

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Wk 1 95/96 MSW moves to Thurs, Cybill takes the Sunday slot. Thurs 8-9pm NBC Friends #3 20.5/33 The Single Guy #6 19.2/30 CBS Murder She Wrote #55 9.3/15 ABC Charlie Grace #74 7.6/12 FOX Living Single # 78 7.2/12 The Crew #80 7.0/11 Sunday 8-9pm NBC Mad about You # 15 14.6/23 Hope & Gloria #35 11.7/18 ABC Lois & Clark # 38 11.4/18 CBS Cybill #49 9.8/15 Almost Perfect #65 8.1/12 FOX Space Above & Beyond (2nd hr of 2hr episode) #51 9.5/15 60 Minutes was #19 so a lot of viewers didn't stay for Cybill. On Sunday, Sept. 24, CBS finished third on the night, and its performance among 18 -49 year olds was worse than it was with the older skewing Murder, She Wrote in the time period last year.  So moving MSW was a foolish move at that point. It was compatible with 60 Minutes and would probably have finished Top 20-25 for the week. They should have left Sunday alone and concentrated on other nights..

      I’ve been watching Knots and FC rather compulsively for a while now. Currently in fall 1983 with both. I had Dallas in there, too, but I am rather shocked at how stale that show gets after Jock’s death. Meanwhile, I can spend hours in the vineyards and in the cul-de-sac.

      What will actually change though? Does this mean the sets will be different too? Or how exactly is this gonna look like to the viewers?

      I'm not sure Passions is the model to emulate here.

      Passions had Chad sleeping with his cousin nephew Vincent, ironically played by Daphne Duplaix (disguised as Valerie)

      Same tbh. His brother got all the attention as he got older and hotter but Eric I like best. I need to get back to this show.
