A Show with Class

I loved "Knots Landing" as so many others did. I really miss watching this classy program. I would refuse to leave my house on Thursday nights, afraid I'd miss my show!! It was addicting!!!It's to bad it isn't still on the air. None of today's programs even come close to being as Great as "Knots Landing".
