If someone ever has the nerve to offer me WALKER TEXAS RANGER or 7TH HEAVEN, I will tell them they can go back to the shop and get a refund as I won't accept either of these pieces of trash in my collection. I guess other people will feel that way about KNOTS LANDING, and that's OK in my book. Different shows appeal to different people. KNOTS LANDING sold reasonably well (it was in the Top 10 of Video Business for the week it was released) but below Warner's unrealistic expectations. Warner just needs to realize that it is simply impossible for every show to sell as well as FRIENDS.

I wouldn't accept "Walker" either, or "7th Heaven." By the same token, if someone attempted to foist "Seinfeld," "Friends," or "Raymond" on me, I'd be saying much the same thing that you would say about "Walker" or "7th Heaven." Of course, as you said, some people will accept those series (that you and I mentioned) for their collections, and some won't (I and certain other people are in the "won't" category). Why does Warner Bros. unrealistically expect "KL" (a series that started in the late-'70's) to sell as high as "Friends" (a series that started in the mid-'90's) prior to releasing any more of "KL," while pumping out release after release of "Friends"? I mean, they've already put out all 10 seasons' worth of "Friends," and also a completed series package of the same, while only releasing one of "KL" and then quitting because "KL" is/was not as popular as "Friends" is/was.
