Desperate Landing

Knots Landing was one of the shows you were forced to watch when growing up. Why because back in the days there was only one television in the house and you did not control it because you were a kid. If you wanted to stay up until 10 pm you had to fake interest in this show.

For those of you who never saw Knots Landing just watch Desperate Housewives because the storylines are ripped exactly from the old soap. Everything from the crazy street to the twins and their kidnapping, the crime related black family to Nicollette Sheridan. I believe even some of the dialogue seems to exactly the same.

A while back CBS had the Dallas reunion and that one was creepy because the actors were blurring the lines between their characters and real life. They did some of that in the Knots Landing Reunion: Together Again but not to the psycho factor of Dallas. One thing that was annoying was the ass kissing between the fake couples. You can tell these people actually liked each other unlike the coldness from the 'Housewives.

Trivia: The street name is Seaview Circle.
Trivia: Halle Berry, Billy Bob Thorton, Gary Sinise, Marica Cross and Doug Savant among others all appeared on the show.
Also Henry Winkler produced this reunion special.
