Top Ten Dallas-Knots Landing Crossovers

[@The70sChick]

Abby was the best of the nighttime soap villianess. Her few scenes with JR were just entertaining.

[@delavalmilker]

Dallas and Knot's Landing---the Golden Age of prime-time soaps in the 70's-80's. A wonder to experience, and something we'll never see again.

[@rrickarr]

Bobby is brilliant at 6:07 - the only one with his head squarely on his shoulders with a real moral compass. Really sets Gary straight about how he must support his sick wife no matter what.

[@DeepScreenAnalysis]

JR didn’t want Abby and Gary in Dallas because he knew Abby would end up taking over the family :)

[@tanisha.r.thomas]

Yup

[@willisapril]

4:11 Bobby didn't necessary stay dead on Knots he was never mentioned again and it was kind off ignored as Knots still acknowledged the Dallas timeline where in the last 2 seasons how the Ewing's lost Ewing Oil and Lucy lived in Europe as mentioned by Mack. Dallas has also acknowledged Gary and Val were married as when Knots went off the air in 1993. As during the dream season on Knots Gary was married to Abby. So both shows kept up with the timeline and current events of each other's shows.

[@rolandbaldwin]

Ted Shackelford and Joan Van Ark had instant chemistry on Wonder Woman. For me he is Gary. The other guy just didn't click I think with Joan. I've always felt Knots was far superior to Dallas. Like Michele often says 'it's about us'. I felt like I knew every single one in Knots peronally.

[@tanisha.r.thomas]

You remember that? I just watched the tail end of that episode. They were aliens or something, right?

[@rolandbaldwin]

@@tanisha.r.thomas I have the DVD collection of Wonder Woman. They were from the future. She was trying to profit in past from her future knowledge.

[@FollowerSt]

Thanks for your work in this and I know. It took a while to look at all the videos and put this together

[@heidifedor]

LOL! Lucy always had Ray to turn to in times of need. In the Dallas miniseries/pilot they were sleeping together!🤦‍♀️

[@tanisha.r.thomas]

And he later ended up being a Ewing, didnt he?💅🏾

[@LBF522]

@@tanisha.r.thomas Yes he did and the writers decided to ignore Ray and Lucy's affair.

[@davidmullen2555]

Loved all the actors

[@jahno7154]

JR and John Ross are the only ones in this video that sound like Texans 🤣🤣🤣

[@johndoyle2429]

Knots was a great show too. It didn't get the same credit as Dallas or Dynasty. Which was a shame. Knots landing was a Superb show. I think if it started in the 90's instead of the 80's maybe it might got credit it deserved.

[@carlodonn8983]

It started in 79

[@W81Researcher]

It would not have lasted through the 90s because people wanted to watch Dr.Quinn, Medicine Woman and Touched by an Angel on that network(has CBS come a long way since).

[@user-oh5uq8kg1l]

​@@W81ResearcherI hated those shows! Lol

[@nightowlchad]

I absolutely love this! Thank you!

He really does. It's that tall bow legged thing....

[@lindsaypaige4075]

I wander what Gary would think of the caring Ray gave Lucy if he only knew.

[@tanisha.r.thomas]

Yeah, I always wondered about that as a kid...lol. I watched these with my mama they was such good acting. He would be here uncle right as he ended up being a Ewing?

HELLO 👋 Thank 🎈 You for the memories 😊 September 21,2022

[@jennifer_m.8613]

I prefer Ted Shackleford as Gary

[@edwardmalone5257]

Bad acting by Shackelford at 8:43

[@reinholdkorner6473]

Miss Ellie the best 👍🤎😍

[@danielcorreard3746]

here's a fun fact for all of you there are 3 head stones on southfork when for jock one for miss elle and one for jr all three graves are empty.

[@LBF522]

I would have expected the Ewings would have had a mausoleum instead.

[@danielcorreard3746]

@@LBF522 you have a point but i think they wanted to be buried at southfork ranch under the ground at southfori.

[@RyanLeonard-yu3mp]

As fond as aMiss Ellie was of Gary, why didn't Barbara Bel Geddes ever do a crossover and appear on knots Landing?

[@suelui6194]

Right?!? She had millions of dollars and didn't work a day job. She could have gone to visit once a month if she missed him so much. And Lucy only ever made one appearance on KL - what was that all about? They were her parents!

[@lauracooper2526]

Ted Shackelford, hands down!

[@jackiebarker4082]

Donna Mills was a beautiful lady ❤

[@edwardmalone5257]

Number 8 is not considered a crossover. By that time, there was no Knots Landing. So they weren't crossing over. In fact, Gary and Val were originally DALLAS characters, so technically it is not a crossover when they appear on DALLAS. This is probably the reason why Joan Van Ark and Ted Shakelford were the only KL actors who appeared on DALLAS. For Abby or Karen or Greg Sumner or anyone like that to appear on DALLAS, they would have needed permission from the LK producers. And after the Dream Season, the KL writers and producers fell out with the Dallas writers and producers.

[@timothymoore6341]

I love how Karen could check J.R. in a second! She always exposed him for his plots and knew how to play him!

[@timray6042]

Ted without a doubt

[@travisjames3517]

Weird how Karen never told anyone about Abby and JR’s affair….

[@tanisha.r.thomas]

Very

[@tanisha.r.thomas]

Man in the Yellow Hat...what are you doing here??🤣 Curious George is much nicer than the Ewings🤣

[@brothergaryii]

Also, since there has been a lot of Karen/Val scenes of KL, can you upload these, please?! Thank you!

[@LBF522]

The hostility between John Ross and Gary did not fit. I mean John Ross had no reason to be mean to him.

[@wonjubhoy]

JR's influence.

[@edwardmalone5257]

I never liked the way the reboot depicted John Ross. The new John Ross acts like he never knew his grandmother, Miss Ellie. He constantly refers to her as "Miss Ellie" (3:45) and not as "grandmother" as he did in the original series. Miss Ellie and Clayton Farlow practically raised John Ross. With the exception of the brief time he lived at the Southern Cross & at Sue Ellen's townhouse as a baby, John Ross lived at Southfork until he was 12 years old. But in the reboot, he acts like he barely knew his father J.R.

[@darrendunn134]

Jr liked woman in knots landing could done that with jr like done with gary robert actor was gonna play jr like a tor played gary twice

[@Kvbftng]

Kristen my god , she was beautiful ,that expression of her's wow

[@hardren101]

All the yearning Lucy did for her mama n papa....... Once did she make any appearance on the show.

[@stephenking6396]

Yes she did

[@xavierrethore3778]

She appeared once in season one but decided at the end of the episode that she couldn't get used to life in a suburban cul-de-sac. She was mentioned regularly until Knots severed all ties with Dallas after the infamous dream season.

[@hardren101]

@@xavierrethore3778 thanks for sharing that...

[@MrJawstherevenge87]

Why did they leave her behind

[@xavierrethore3778]

@@MrJawstherevenge87 Gary and Val were supposed to start a brand new life in California, as far away from Dallas as possible. I've read there were some plans to transfer Lucy to the new show but the producers changed their minds and kept Lucy in Dallas. She would have been out of place in Knots Landing and after a whole lifetime in Southfork it made sense that she wouldn't want to uproot her life. Knots Landing being a spin-off of Dallas was a way to launch the show and boost the ratings but the two series were very different beasts at first and the links with the parent series were sometimes awkward. However, Gary became a rich man after his daddy's death and that paved the way for new, more glamorous storylines away from the cul-de-sac and the car dealership.

[@threetreasures7698]

Gary DID NOT age well. 😮

The gary that was in Dallas, i hated the blonde gary
