Knots Landing was an American soap opera which began December 27, 1979 and ended May 13, 1993.

Among these pioneer serials, only "Knots Landing" remains healthy in kinder, gentler America.

Its continuing popularity is due in part to dramatic factors: "Knots Landing" has always been the least formulaic of the prime-time soaps.

"Knots Landing" is about us.

The new dramatic cues emphasized full orchestral arrangements as formerly middle class Knots Landing became upwardly mobile.

In the early 1990s, soft contemporary acoustic music became popular and Knots Landing began incorporating this into its background music during season 12.

(November 12, 1981 - May 14, 1987) Knots Landing unveiled a new opening at the start of season 3.

(September 24, 1987 - May 18, 1989) At the beginning of the ninth season, Knots Landing's producers decided to break tradition with the opening.

For me it was a nighttime soap that filled a hole in my heart where "Knots Landing" used to be.

In 1991, Knots Landing reached a milestone with its 300th episode.
