Valene was too good for Gary. She was a good person. Abby was a female J.R. Ewing. She charmed Gary away from Val. You are right, this is one of Joan Van Ark's best scenes. It sticks out in my mind.
This was my favorite season ever of Knots. From the first episode of season 5 to the last episode of season 5 was just amazing. Lotus Point, that was such a great set. It was beautiful. The outdoor scenes were beautiful as well.
I loved any story line that featured Abby. The season when she reconnected with her first love, Charles, was really good. Also, loved her last season on the show when she duped Gary and Karen into selling Lotus Point to her and had them thinking they were selling to a Japanese company named, "Murakame". Then of course, there was her story line with Olivia being on drugs and the whole Peter incident. Such good TV on this series.
What a great show!! Thursdays were awesome TV nights back in the 80's. NBC's "Must-See" lineup from 8pm-10pm then switch over to CBS for Knots to cap off the night!! Great times.
I was a teen back in the 80s glued to my set every Thursday night watching "Knots Landing". However, I don't remember any of this except for the Lotus Point name and I do recall the last scene with Abby looking through the back window of the car, but that's it. And I was a big fan of the show. Never missed it. Abby was such a bitch! We moved to Costa Rica in 1987, and it was a big relief to find out it was broadcast down there, although about 2 seasons behind schedule. Down there it was known as "Vecinos y Amigos" which translates as "Friends and Neighbors" (technically it translates as "Neighbors and Friends" but obviously it sounds better the other way in English.
Reportedly, Karen's shooting was a last minute addition to the script. The original cliffhanger just had Abby being kidnapped. I thought this was one of Knot's best cliffhangers
Even more clever was dressing Michele Lee all in red so they wouldn't have to explain where she got shot. But if it was last minute, they probably hadn't thought the story arc through yet. So keeping the shot location secret worked well.
I love Knott's landing and always will.I think it is one of the most well assembled shows of its kind its right up. there with mash Dallas amf gun smoke.I will continue to watch it on net flix over and over Marcia martinez
Wow! Joan's acting here is surely heartbreaking! Her one true love and this was like....if she had neighbors, they would know something's up. Abby's reaction was great too, it was in good character for her. I applaud the writers and actors on this!
Who remembers Donna Mills THE EYES HAVE IT? It is a fun video to watch and she shows us how to do your eyeshadow and how to apply paper white paint underneath your eyes. Lol.
After CBS decided to let Laura go from the series the show pretty much went down hill after that. Anne and Claudia were really cartoon characters on the show.
That was without a doubt the best cliffhanger I ever saw on any night time soap. Better than "who shot JR", better than the ridiculous "Moldavia Massacre" on Dynasty - it was nail biting! I remember it so well at the time.
Totally agree,this was an excellent season with a terrific build up in tension and awesome cliffhanger. I always thought that the acting by the cast was excellent as they were given the time to showcase their craft. I never saw the series when it aired on tv but managed to get the whole series on bootleg dvd and watched it back to back. I remember teasing my good friend Barbara that Gary had really died and then Karen also…. only to immediately find out in the next episode that they were ok. Dallas was good but Knots Landing really had something extra and I think it came from the fact that the characters were more three dimensional and became like friends that you would catch up with every week!
True ,I remember that . I always used to look out for any inconsistencies like that when the series would resume. The same thing happened with Victoria Principal on DALLAS after the infamous dream season as she woke up a full year and a bit later with longer hair. I guess, in this case ,she figured people would have forgotten or she just didn’t care as she was leaving the show!
I did not watch as much of Knots Landing as I did Dallas. Wolf bridge, Empire Valley and Val's Babies with evil Dr. Ackerman giving them to the Fishers. Knots was great. Hope they put on Netflix, amazon prime so I can watch what was missed.
How disappointing! I saw your playlist title - Knots Landing and thought, oh, maybe I can watch that old T.V. series I loved so much! NOT! 5 videos from 11 to 16 minutes each (none a full episode) and then endless tiny snippet videos. Wow! But thank you for keeping all videos related to Knots Landing. Other playlists about the series on CZcams have other garbage thrown in! If you ever learn of a place where one might be able to buy or view the entire series, let me know?
The Producers of Knot's Landing severed ties with Dallas after the dream season, because it would ruin their storylines, this is why Bobby is till deceased in Knot's Landing episodes.
This was a KL Season Finale and it was hilarious at the beginning of next season when Abby turned around in the car and her hair was short. Why they didn't just give her a wig I don't understand. But they just acted like nothing had changed. They could have at least said that crazy Mark St.Clair got mad and cut it off. Hahaha!
Back then, VCRs weren't that common so there were months between the season finale and the next season premiere so not everybody would remember although they usually did repeat the previous year's cliffhanger a week before the premiere. It happened often during the early days of soaps. One glaring example is when an actor like Patrick Duffy of Dallas had short hair and it grew over the summer and the scene picks up right away but his hair's gotten longer.
Agreed. Continuity errors were less obvious to spot back then as people did not consume TV the way they do now where they can pause, rewind, rewatch repeatedly. Back then, you watched it once and that was it. Even if you taped it on VCR to watch later, you most likely taped over it after viewing to record something else. You also didn't have an internet community to nitpick and analyse and share every minute detail. Different times!😊
I know! exactly.. they should have had more guest stars... hunky men with a past and pretty women that werent trying to fuck the richest man in town.. that show was way too centered around boring people
Why did they kiill Cyd Fairgate off the show? He was attractive and could act..Mack wasnt very sexy or goodlooking..i wouldnt have sex with him..What did Cyd ask for more money? or have to fu@k the neighbors?

Val’s reaction SERIOUSLY breaks my heart , I know it’s just a show .. but it was so real - that raw emotion well played Joan Van Ark 💛💛💛
Abby would have never done that for anyone.especially Gary. Great acting on Joan Van Ark's part.
Val blew me away in this episode-best show ever on television-period!
This was one of Joan Van Ark's outstanding performances, at the beginning of the episode.
Valene was too good for Gary. She was a good person. Abby was a female J.R. Ewing. She charmed Gary away from Val. You are right, this is one of Joan Van Ark's best scenes. It sticks out in my mind.
Joan Van Ark is a fine actor. She stood out on both this show and Dallas, and I don’t think she ever got the recognition she deserved.
One of the best cliffhangers, EVER!! I wish that all seasons were available on DVD.
Mario De La O I would love to rewatch this Series one more time.
I wish Knots Landing was streaming!
I wonder why they only released season 1&2. I found knots landing better than Dallas.
I agree, Linda.
What's this "DVD"?
This was my favorite season ever of Knots. From the first episode of season 5 to the last episode of season 5 was just amazing. Lotus Point, that was such a great set. It was beautiful. The outdoor scenes were beautiful as well.
"Lotus Point"...I forgot all about that name...thanks for reminding me.
Yes! Season 5 was the best! Season 6 a close second!
I loved any story line that featured Abby. The season when she reconnected with her first love, Charles, was really good. Also, loved her last season on the show when she duped Gary and Karen into selling Lotus Point to her and had them thinking they were selling to a Japanese company named, "Murakame".

Old school DRAMA! Love it.
What a great year that was, I remember being glued to my seat.

Bobby Ewing is just like his Brother Gary Ewing a Tough GUY!💪💪💪👍👍👍

ive been trying to find it to watch it but cant,,,where can I find it?who was your fav character and storyline?fav season?i watched every episode!!
"I agreed to be a moving target for you but I didn't agree to put the gun in her hand"
Damn!
Wow! Joan's acting here is surely heartbreaking! Her one true love and this was like....if she had neighbors, they would know something's up.

But the two parter for Laura's funeral were great episodes.
The Ewing brothers had a penchant for getting shot.
Bravissima joan van ark in questa scena di amore e di dolore!! Il cast era super!!
That was without a doubt the best cliffhanger I ever saw on any night time soap. Better than "who shot JR", better than the ridiculous "Moldavia Massacre" on Dynasty - it was nail biting! I remember it so well at the time.
Years ago some posted a huge amount of these seasons. It was Amazing!
I love when Michele Lee talks about Karen's dramatic death fall in interviews. 😄
Thanks for this

Still in the limo in the next episode Abby suddenly has a new chic bob haircut. that old guy in the car must have been her hair stylist.
He was. That was his side job.
Wonder why Donna didn't think of that before she got her hair cut during hiatus?
True ,I remember that .
I always used to look out for any inconsistencies like that when the series would resume.

@@bernietinirau8160lol. And with Threes Company, we could always measure which season was which by Joyce DeWitt’s hairstyle.
I did not remember this at all. Thank you for Posting!
Oh my gosh the memories!! 😂 I remember NEVER missing this show.
They Don't Make Them Like This Anymore I Loves The Old Soaps
Bring back Knots Landing on British-TV now .
I 😘 watching knots landing
I did not watch as much of Knots Landing as I did Dallas. Wolf bridge, Empire Valley and Val's Babies with evil Dr. Ackerman giving them to the Fishers. Knots was great. Hope they put on Netflix, amazon prime so I can watch what was missed.
Joan Van Ark's best acting
Does anyone know if one of the Streaming Services offers Knots Landing? I really want to rewatch this series.
I'm watching it on 0123movies.su it has all the seasons
what episode was the twins conceived in for gary and val????????im trying to find that season and episode online...
I think episode 83 - the one when Abby & Gary got married or the one before
How disappointing! I saw your playlist title - Knots Landing and thought, oh, maybe I can watch that old T.V. series I loved so much!

Gary and Val foreva!
This why knots was the best
Did they mention Gary's death on Dallas?
The Producers of Knot's Landing severed ties with Dallas after the dream season, because it would ruin their storylines, this is why Bobby is till deceased in Knot's Landing episodes.
Poor Val
This is the best Joan van ark ever looked
This was a KL Season Finale and it was hilarious at the beginning of next season when Abby turned around in the car and her hair was short. Why they didn't just give her a wig I don't understand. But they just acted like nothing had changed. They could have at least said that crazy Mark St.Clair got mad and cut it off. Hahaha!
I think it's nice they allowed Abby to make a stop at the beauty parlor on the way while being kidnapped.
They've learned the lesson two seasons later, when they incorperated Michele Lee's new haircut into Karen's kidnapping storyline

This was always my favorite episode, however, I've always wondered why there was never a gun shot mark on Karen's dress. 🤔
4:06 Nothing like an 80's assassin with a silenced revolver... 😂
This was giving me Moldavia vibes
Hands down!!
Ted's pants? You wish!
Tom Ripley
Me too..XD
+MrCraigblaze Me three!
Tom Ripley
Big Ted..XD
MrCraigblaze If you're English, I preferred Hamble. If you're not, then I'm sure he is.
Gary you are ewing
Did he really die?
Did they have a funeral?
I can't remember
I can’t remember if they had a funeral but I know that his family from Texas did *not* show up. So that was a tipoff that the death wasn’t real.
I hated Diana!
Me too!
So did the viewers. That's why she was written out at the beginning of the next season
The makeup...!!
Reboot Knots Landing!!!!
Can't do that. Adults act like spoiled kids these days
It would be a disaster!
Did Val's sister kill Gary?
val did not have a sister!
You are thinking of Dallas, when Sue Ellen's Sister Kristen, shot JR
@@cor8129 I was being sarcastic. Remember Pam's sister running Bobby down with a car. Those Ewing boys didn't have good luck with sister in laws
@@shawnmichaelduncan5951 LOL. You are so right, those Ewing Brothers had such bad luck, with Sister in Laws
how can he die and show up for JRs funeral ??
No no not gary
Joan Van Ark could ACT.
Val loved Gary so
Donna Mills was hot
omg!!!! damn this bitch can act!!! joan van ark! didn't realize it when I was younger
Ted is a very sexy man
I was bored...
Gary? Looks like Karen
women should never ever wear pleated front pants.... not ever
What, we dont have lamp shades anymore? Or upholstery? I think all future decor will be controlled with a smart phone probablly...
Never wear ballet flats either.
can u say over acting...Val... Claudia hot chick and could act!
Valene was a pudge victim woman.. She would have been much more likable if she had a personality
I know! exactly.. they should have had more guest stars... hunky men with a past and pretty women that werent trying to fuck the richest man in town.. that show was way too centered around boring people
Good acting is timeless.... no matter what decade its in
+Rob Thompson Not overacted, believe me......
***** i've read novels that were shorter than this! Thats why it's called a comment section!
Who wrote this rubbish?
Why did they kiill Cyd Fairgate off the show? He was attractive and could act..Mack wasnt very sexy or goodlooking..i wouldnt have sex with him..What did Cyd ask for more money? or have to fu@k the neighbors?
Val loved Gary so
