Feel free to correct if I'm reading this incorrectly but wouldn't that still make it fourth of the four soaps?? With the other soaps taking 1st, 2nd & 3rd. Either way you slice it ....it's kind of a funny proclamation. Like "Hey we're the least watched soap, but we're ahead of repeats of The View, Live! With Kelly and the onslaught of other horrid game shows and what passes for daytime programming these days". Whoop whoop!!

And while I no longer watch soaps ....since my nearly 30 years of loyalty and adoration to AMC and OLTL was murdered along with their cancellation ....I still check the ratings each week and still am glad to see the soaps go up.

Unlike ABC promos that totally tease things that arent going to happen. Lol. Which is worse? Revealing too much? Or " The reunion you've been waiting for" that doesn't hapoen. "Sam's baby is found" that won't happen". "Calivia at last!". Well that seems more likely but if it airs in a promo it's a lie.

    • 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.
