Knots Landing
Dallas's suburban cousin — longest-running prime-time soap with quieter knives.
Production studio
Lorimar Television
Lorimar Television is oil-baron Sunday, a cul-de-sac with knives, and a cousin from Mypos. Dallas headlines the TV Flash hub with Knots Landing and Perfect Strangers — who-shot-whom weather, fourteen seasons of suburban soap that outthought the glitter, and TGIF fish-out-of-water comedy that taught a dance of joy.
Dallas is the oil-baron soap that made a question mark into a national cliffhanger. Knots Landing is the thinking fan's prime-time cousin — longer on character than Dynasty glitter, still fully addictive. Fourteen seasons of cul-de-sac knives, Donna Mills's Abby as elite television mischief. Soap that thrived without oil-baron scale.
Perfect Strangers is the other Lorimar night: Balki Bartokomous arrives from Mypos, does the Dance of Joy, and ABC's TGIF finds its fish-out-of-water engine. Bronson Pinchot's accent is the instrument; Mark Linn-Baker is the straight man who never quite recovers. The page is Southfork, a suburban knife drawer, and a Chicago cousin-comedy. Prime-time addiction in two registers, plus a hug.
