KNOTS LANDING: Season Eight Opening Titles

[jonno673]

wish they would bring it back to cable in UK

[jmjfanss]

The 80's was the last true decade of entertainment.

[uriel30]

You don't get good sax...like you did in the 80's. HAHAHAHA!!!

[mark40511]

Where is season 7 opening? That's my favorite one

[scrowfan41]

Imiss this show. Liked it way far better than Dallas.

[chuckgan]

i wish SoapNet would start shwing reruns again. can't find it anywhere, including dvd except season one.

[DarthSideous63]

@chuckgan SoapNet is being replaced in January for a Disney Kids channel.

[DorisDayFanatic]

@DarthSideous63 Really? That's ridiculous! How many Disney channels are on TV now? Do they really need another one?

[DarthSideous63]

@DorisDayFanatic Unfortunately its true. It seems that the age of the Soap Operas is over for now.

[DorisDayFanatic]

@DarthSideous63 It's such a shame. TV is really going down the drain.

[TSquared2001]

@DorisDayFanatic More true than not. I've really been listening to radio more than watching TV. It's too much like GARBAGE.

[jmjfanss]

@TSquared2001

Even the radio is just garbage now too

I Blame the 1990's for all this.



[TSquared2001]

@jmjfanss I diagree with you on that-the 90s that is. It's more the writers and LACK of real talent.

[jmjfanss]

@TSquared2001

But I Still believe the 90's was the start of the end of entertainment and the lack of talent in that, but we are our opinions.

I Blame Nirvana and the real world for taking the word "talent" away from the industry.

I didn't realize how subliminal these credits were. Beautiful Ben spent his last season shouting, being angry, just like these credits. Poor Ben :( At least he put Lillimae in a headlock before he left.

[Olivia1214]

I SOOOO Miss Knots Landing...

[wakygee]

My second favorite (DALLAS being my fave)

OMG! They're so old and putty/spackle-face now! (know-what-I-mean, Joan??)

I like this opening best of all the KL years

[linny50]

Val and Ben Forever! These opening Title sequences are the best of any show,I love how you get a flavor from the clips of the characters.

[Aeiras2]

Great! it is nice to see how they still kept up to this intro: The image at the end of Abby at sunset and Val in her sofa. A classic! Love the music and the images of them all. :)

[platybus]

I miss Knots Landing...

[SoapFreak]

KNOTS= Perfection

[Xstorm69]

It did until they killed off Laura.

[yaniv235]

this was the last doug sheehan opening in knots landing i didnt like hoe he got out from the show

[CarlD2]

@yaniv235 I didn't like it either! He deserved better. At least he put Lillimae in a headlock before he left.

[TheJaking87]

Linda Gray occasionally forgot to use a Texan accent on Dallas too.

[Fanik8]

Shortly after Knots Landing went on the air the Valene character, who would no longer guest star on Dallas "lost" her southern accent and talked California.

[dramaticguy]

Thats not really fair,Valene kept her Southern accent for a long time on Knots its when she made it as a successful writer,the accent was toned down,she was always very Southern with Lili Mae.

[travis082185]

in the first season dvd release while watching the first episode joan and ted did a commentary and they both said they decided to drop the accent b/c they felt it wasn't working

[strookman]

NOW THATS TV,I love KNOTS!!!!!

[dokboy77]

I think of this credit sequence as a "transition" one,  it is when the show was shifting from being a "late 70's/early 80's show to being a more late 80's/early 90's show..... by far my least favorite version of the song...

[dramaticguy]

Yes this theme is a bit harsh liked the first two seasons theme better.

[debro2009debro]

This was my favorite season of knots. That year I didn't miss one episode. A heck of alot would happen on that show in one hour. The next year was good, but not as good. After that, it just wasn't the same.

[debro2009debro]

I started watching knots this season. I love knots. I never thought the day would come when they would take it off the air.

[weyoun36]

I loathe this and all future versions of the knots theme. All the versions before this one were awesome. IMO

[vidhead85]

I have to say, I do like this version of the knots theme

[Restlessi]

So who does have that flute theme?

[JhomasE]

If we ever get to the season six DVD release, maybe it will show up.

[txsdboy]

I might have a video version that came out on TNT many years ago. I have to look at vhs tapes, otherwise, I have an audio version on tape that I recorded live when I was a teen.

[saynotoursoap]

You're right. There was also a dominant bell motif, too. Strangely, when the series went into syndication the flute/bell theme was replaced with the 2nd version. The only way to get it is to find a copy of the original network airings from 1986.

[txsdboy]

The flute version has now been uploaded.

[knotslandingire]

thanks for this,great version of theme tune,like it now but didnt at the time!

[travis082185]

i think knots is the best nightime soap ever created. a classic show but different from the others

[Jrewing4life]

No that would be Dallas.

[rubyrocksallthetime]

It was the best indeed, It has more reruns in the middle east than any other 80's soap even dallas

[TSquared2001]

@travis082185 If anything it wasn't focused on the nuveau riche

[nrthdude1]

I wasn't crazy about the background music but loved the shots of each star squablling with someone else. Just like people in real life.

[dramaticguy]

Julie Harris left in season 9 as did the wonderful Constance McCashin,Ben(Doug Sheenan) left in season 8,then died somewhere,it was always left vague,he was chasing his tormentor Jean.

[mthivier]

This must have been Julie Harris' last season on the show.

[vidhead85]

Julie Harris was great in the show

[Restlessi]

No she was still for the beginning of the next season in the show.

[dicklacock]

When Knots got with the program.

[MaryanKaden]

Very clear, thank you. Last version of the first scrolling screens. Bring back great memories.

[jonty9999]

[Central85]

[Male22Maroon]
