Season 5 uses the opening music to its best potential compared to other seasons. It is stronger, full of lots of instruments and reaches those high parts. Seasons 8 and 9 used weaker versions of the theme music. Always pissed me off the way Knots had to play around with the theme every season, while other shows like Dallas kept the original untouched - the way viewers want it!

But that was the beauty of it. I always looked forward to "remixes" each season. However, I hated the season 6 version, I loved the Season 7 (1st Version), I liked Season 8 only because it was "new" I hate season 9 with a burning hot passion, but was won over with the season 10 remix. Season 11 total wash, 12 was ok, 13 too sleepy, and 14 because it was 90's version of season 5 but still weak.

Best opening ever for a drama series with the best music.

[ElJefeNLA]

I totally agree!

[Garysc6]

Yeah this was a great opener and was the new "Knots Landing" as they let go all of the original cast members except for 4 and went from an hour self contained drama to an all out soap and brought in Sumner.

[ElJefeNLA]

I never looked at like that until now. You are absolutely right. The show changed right before our eyes this season.

I hated the character of Diana(not the actress)she needed a slap!

[CrestwoodRocks]

Seasons 1 through 4 were the best themes

@ANDREWMUZAK you're wrong, Dallas remixed each season too, just not as drastically as Knots did.

[supertrent1982]

Every Theem from seasons 5 to 14 were exolent. I'll have to admit, every time a new season premeared I looked forword to what the theem was going to sound like and if it would be good or not. My least favorites would have to be seasons 1 through 4. 11 and 12 were aaverige but 12 was not the greatest.

I thought Knot's Landing scrolling credits were amazing in their day and they still look impressive today, a real credit to the talent going into all aspects of the production. Warner Brothers is absolutely idiotic for not releasing the entire series as a boxed set. Of course the first two didn't sell that well, A. The show was just starting to hit it's stride in Season 3 and B. Fans were afraid exactly what would happen happened, they released a few seasons then quit.

@ANDREWMUZAK I think this version was one of the best too, but if they'd kept the original like Dallas we'd never have ended up with this wonderful version.

If I had been watching at this time I would have had a big campaign to keep Abby/Gary and Ben/Val together. Such underrated couples and they freshened the show up.

I love that one of the last parts of the opening uses that montage from the episode where Abby has to decide about giving Diana part of her liver (or something). It was an exquisite montage. For me Abby looking out from her beach house is one of the iconic KL memories.

@dramaticguy Eric gave her a good slap. That should have been in the opening credits...

[DorisDayFanatic]

@dramaticguy I hated Diana too!  OMG, ugh.

[ElJefeNLA]

@LeeTheThird Season 6 was the best season ironically (well to me anyway) had the worst version of the theme! LOL well that and seasons 9, 11 and 12. By 13 I had given up but at least that had returned to using the sliding pictures. By 14 I had a pleasant surprise.

Since she had already been a regular cast member from the start, I can't understand why they waited until this season to add Claudia Lonow to the credits. It seemed pointless anyway, because her character was written out, at the beginning of Season six....Good riddance too!
