Any word on Knot's Landing season 2?

My wife asked this morning when season 2 might be coming out.

No news yet.

I read on another forum that sales of Knots Landing had taken Warners by surprise (it outsold Dallas) and season two is now in the works.

I think we can expect to see more Knots later in the year.

Ben, I am not surprised. My wife said that Knots eventually became more popular than Dallas.

Wow, it did? That is great as it was quite a low key release. I can only imagine what could happen with some ads linking Donna Mills and general KL. I was abit concerned that S1 was it given that no was talking about it when it released on most of the usual forums.

**HTF Ads**

I was curious about this myself so i took abit of time to look up ratings / estimated viewers for the time both shows appeared in top 30.

1980/81 - Dallas S4, Rank #1 , Weekly Viewers = 27,565,500
- Knots S2, Rank #28, Weekly Viewers = 15,181,000

1981/82 - Dallas S5, Rank #1, Weekly Viewers = 23,146,000
- Knots S3, Did Not Crack Top 30

1982/83 - Dallas S6, Rank #2, Weekly Viewers = 20,491,800
- Knots S4, Rank #20, Weekly Viewers = 15,493,800

1983/84 - Dallas S7, Rank #1, Weekly Viewers = 21,536,600
- Knots S5, Rank #11, Weekly Viewers = 17,430,400

1984/85 - Dallas S8, Rank #2, Weekly Viewers = 20,970,300
- Knots S6, Rank #9, Weekly Viewers = 17,980,000

1985/86 - Dallas S9, Rank #6, Weekly Viewers = 18,812,100
- Knots S7, Rank #17, Weekly Viewers = 16,750,500

1986/87 - Dallas S10, Rank #11, Weekly Viewers = 18,616,200
- Knots S8, Rank #26, Weekly Viewers = 14,683,200

1987/88 - Dallas S11, Rank #11, Weekly Viewers = 18,616,200
Knots S9, Rank #26, Weekly Viewers = 14,683,200

1988/89 - Dallas S12, Rank #30, Weekly Viewers = 13,921,600
- Knots S10, Rank #27, Weekly Viewers = 14,554,400

Neither Show Cracked the top 30 again... So i would say Based on this info Knots was never close to being more popular than Dallas.

Too bad we have to wait so many seasons before "poor, poor Valene" is forced to take a bottle of pills by one of Gary's lovers. As much as I liked the show I'd hate to start buying these only to have them discontinue after a couple seasons, especially when it ran for 10.

Does anyone remember what season Alec Baldwin joined the cast?

Actually Jon...Knots ran 14 seasons...not ten.

Alec Baldwin was in Knots during seasons 5-7.

Knots lasted for 14 seasons in total - by the final season Gary and Karen were the only remaining regular characters from the original line-up.

14 seasons?? That's a lot of dvds, my friends. Actually, I think Dallas had more total episodes. Dallas had 357 episodes, while Knots (only) had 344. Actually, Knots should have done the first two seasons in the first release, because both seasons were short and that's only 31 episodes, therefore doable in a single b
