My Mom and I were one of Knot's Landing's Biggest Fans and never missed an episode!!! How I wish they would replay every episode back on television again instead of some of the junk that they have on t.v. today!!! Thank You The cast of Knot's Landing for coming into our Livingroom every Thursday night and filling it with such wonderful drama, God Bless You All for the hard work that you did making this show a success and for being one of the longest nighttime running soaps!!! The Cast and Crew will live forever in my heart!!!

[@josephgraefe4886]

Would someone please put all 14 seasons of Knots Landing out on DVD!!!

[@luvhart]

Without doubt, one of the greatest prime time dramas of all time. I still have a huge affection for this show to this day.

[@FactsVerse]

Very well said! Which Knots Landing episode is your favorite?

[@donnasmith311]

Loved Knots… every Thursday night!! Very special time in my life!! Thanks for the memories ❤️❤️!!

[@sassykaren7587]

You mentioning Barnaby Jones and Falcon Crest brought back a lot of good memories. I am really hooked on this channel and love to be reminded of tv shows that I had completely forgotten about. Thank you!! 👍

[@ladytinag4276]

I loved Knots Landing! I'm upset that it doesn't stream anywhere😤

[@kateclemons5921]

By far the most superior soap on tv.

[@jenniferwellman5311]

I was addicted to the show, nobody could bother me on Thursday nights and if you did, you regretted it. My mother forgot to tape on episode back when we had VCRs and I wouldn’t talk to her for a week. Yeah, I was that addicted. 😂😂😂

[@cindypruitt9534]

Wow, thanks for this. Knotts was my favorite 80s soap. I related more to the characters . I wish they could have one more movie to catch up. See their grandkids, etc.

[@willisapril]

all 14 seasons of Dallas are streaming for free on IMDB TV. I wish I could find streaming for Knots Landing. I'd appriciate it if someone knows of one can reply

[@barbtowner8086]

you forgot that val and gary have older daughter. Lucy. that stayed in Dallas

[@willisapril]

They also failed to mention that Gary and Val reprised their roles for a few episodes on the new Dallas that still kept up with the continuity of Knots by saying they were still maried altho separated at the time and were still on the culdesac and that an episode of Knots was on a Friday at 11 in 1982 for the Dallas crosover of Jock's will

[@ryanlemay6296]

I get why Charlene would not want to leave the highly successful Dallas, but I think Lucy woud have been better utilized if she had moved to Knots Landing at some point. A lot of times on Dallas, especially after she became and adult, Lucy seems kind of wasted, often having plotlines separate from the other main characters. It would have cool to see how she would have inteacted with the Knots characters.

[@kenken6550]

I always hated Lucy but I'm rewatching now and, omg, she steals every scene.

[@radrobd123]

@@willisapril there were several episodes of Knots that aired on Friday. In the first season, the 5th episode that introduced Lilimae aired on Friday in Dallas' timeslot. In season 6, an episode aired on Friday in Dallas' timeslot as well

[@Chris-lp2uf]

talk about PAIN....val-joan van ark went thru so much of it...she played her role so very well...brilliant actress! loved the show!

[@der22672]

Dallas is currently streaming on both Prime Video and IMDB. And I think Dynasty is streaming somewhere also, if I’m not mistaken. Just don’t understand why Knots can’t be added as well. I wish Pluto TV would add a primetime soap channel. That would be awesome. I’ve heard different reasons over the years why KNOTS is so difficult to air in reruns or to be added to a streaming network. The most common one is the music rights from the time Lisa Hartman Black was playing Ciji. Too many royalties would have to be paid. Really? I can’t for the life of me at this point why anyone would still care. Knots has been off the air now for 27 years. We as fans deserve to see this wonderful show again. Side note: Somebody was posting full episodes from the first season here on KZbin last year, but that was abruptly stopped because this poster got caught and KZbin took them down.

[@thewood101566]

The reason Dallas and Knots Landing never crossed over again cause of the Dream Season 9 of Dallas cause Bobby died and Knots devoted a whole season due to his death

[@dannycarrington1601]

2:09 is Doug Savant wearing a dark wig playing a young Mack in a flashback. Savant and Marcia Cross appeared together on "Melrose Place" and Nicollette Sheridan starred with them in "Desperate Housewives". 4:04 isn't Stacy Galina, it's Danielle Brisebois who originated the role of Mary Frances. Brisebois declined the chance to return to the series as a regular cast member to focus on her music career. "Knots Landing" stopped doing cross-overs with "Dallas" due to the "Dallas" plot that revealed Bobby Ewing's death was only a bad dream. The "Knots Landing" writers didn't want to their characters to be included in the dream scenario so there were no further references to "Dallas". Gary and Val do appear in the final episode of "Dallas" but only in a fantasy sequence where J.R. is shown what life would be like if he had never been born. The reason "Knots Landing" moved from 9:00 p.m. back to 10:00 p.m. in its eighth season was "Cheers" aired at 9:00 p.m. and clobbered "Knots Landing" (and anything else that was scheduled opposite it) in the ratings.

[@radrobd123]

Technically, Knots hadn't had any Dallas castmembers guest star since 4 years before the dream was revealed, although Ted Shackelford (Gary) did guest star on Dallas for one episode to attend Bobby's funeral

[@btetschner]

Thank you for the video.

[@sallykohorst8803]

Yes I really enjoyed the show.

[@leesashriber5097]

Love and miss this show!!

[@seansheehan9012]

I know I’m late to this party, but I just bought all seasons of KL on Etsy for $65 and it came on a thumb drive. By H was able to transfer to computer and I’m watching via Plex on my tv. I don’t think they put more than two seasons on dvd. The rest seem to be taped from tv but I don’t care, it’s good to see it all again. The thumb drive also came with the specials after.

[@kenken6550]

I did the same!!! Lol! It was a bargain!

[@mikecarrico1859]

Back2Basic All those streaming services YET Not One showing knot's landing! I've searched hard to start watching season 3!!😊 And binge watch rest of SHOW!!😊

[@sandy7543]

Loved this

[@FactsVerse]

Thanks for watching, Sandy!

[@willbell5097]

Donna mills starred on Barnaby Jones as a character named Abby, who was a devious, scheming lady. It's called portrait of evil, and is on KZbin. Coincidence or inspiration for knots landing role.

[@ryanlemay6296]

I noticed that when discussing Stacy Galina playing Greg's daughter, and then niece, those were actually photos of Danielle Brisbois, who originated the role of Greg's daughter Mary Frances when he first joined the show.

[@magkatcar]

I had no idea the guy that played Karen's oldest son was dead, yet along he died when the show was still airing!?

[@gildan958]

Il s est tué dans un accident de voiture, ensuite il n est plus évoqué dans la série pauvre jeune homme

[@radrobd123]

Unfortunately yes he died. But at the time of his death, he was no longer appearing on the show. The show however did tribute him at the end of one episode.

[@magkatcar]

@@radrobd123 Ohhh, okay.

[@StacyDifrancesco]

I think Ted Shackle played Carol's cowboy boyfriend on the 1970's sitcom Soap.

[@WillMeganFan]

The series may only have been in the top ten seasonal rankings during one of the fourteen seasons however it was a top ten regular in the weekly charts for much of its run including as late as Season 10. Given that it was pitted opposite such powerhouses as Hill Street Blues and LA Law for most of its run, this is nothing short of miraculous.

[@Filmation77]

Whats so interesting they've tried to revive Dallas,B.H.90210,Desperate Housewives, Dynasty but Never Knots Landing (and Knots Landing outlasted ALL those series, but its NEVER Talked about 😅)

[@FactsVerse]

Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! What other types of video would you like to see?

[@loriryan2045]

Does anyone know where I can stream “Back to the Cul De Sac” Miniseries?

[@brentvance3958]

Watched every episode with my mom from 1979-1988, when I joined the Navy in 1988 my mom recorded every episode for me during boot camp. Check out her videos. King of tv bowling Vi McKinney.

[@kenken6550]

THANK your mom for her service! (I mean, you too!)

[@nonnayoubuzinnes1669]

They made a big mistake killing off Laura, the casting after that wasn't great.

[@kenken6550]

I thought Richard returned and Laura left with him... is my. Memory that off?

[@devoypeters4253]

​@@kenken6550 Richard leaves and Laura is seduced by Greg Sumner, who she eventually marries and have a baby together, "Meg" Laura is diagnosed with a terminal illness and leaves to go to hospice, where she eventually passed away 😔 Richard comes back for two episodes that celebrate Laura's life. It is Knots Landing's 200th episode and both episodes the cast uses improv acting style, playing their characters at Laura's funeral as there was no script written.

[@gregshanley7742]

And the apparently dead Val returned for the last two episodes.

[@edwardlopeziii4380]

How can you "fix that right away?" Where is someone able to watch Knots Landing?

[@kenken6550]

Etsy

[@jasonirelan4487]

I know William DeVayne was in it.

[@loriryan2045]

He was my favorite character. Senator Greg Sumner

[@jasonirelan4487]

@@loriryan2045 Yeah William Devayne is a good actor who's landed more than his share of movies including a science fiction movie where he played a time traveler, but now he seems to only be doing commercials selling gold.

[@devenalex324]

Michele Lee INSISTS that while she did take a reduced rate she never worked for scale in Season 14. Also, in 14 seasons the show finished in the Top 40 of the ratings for 12 of its seasons, including the final even after the dramatic plunge in ratings in S13 due to new writers and producers, which prompted the ire of William and Nicollette.

[@kenken6550]

That's when being in the top 40 really meant something! In the top 10 could mean upwards of 20 mil viewers. In the 80s and 90s, top 40 to 20 meant in the 10s to teens. Compare that with a "hit" like Riverdale, who i don't think ever got above 900k and was usually in the 700s.

[@thegreatsonicboom1563]

I have a new show called knots Landing Thursday, the trailer is out now.

[@mitch7951]

Whatever happened to Annie, Sid’s daughter from his first marriage?

[@twoflower7621]

3 decades?

[@radrobd123]

70's, 80's and 90's, although only one episode of Knots aired in the 70's, the pilot which aired on December 27, 1979, 5 days before the new year and new decade

[@arlosanchez6056]

It's an okay kind of show.and wasnt actor Robert Foxworthy on the show???.

[@dannycarrington1601]

Robert Foxworth played Chase on "Falcon Crest", he had been offered the part of J.R. on "Dallas" which he declined prior to Larry Hagman being cast in the role.
