Editorial Reviews

Love thy neighbor. Words to live by for Sid's sexy sister Abby Cunningham - especially with the male neighbors in her new hometown, Knots Landing. Maybe it's Abby's influence, but bed-hopping becomes the latest cul-de-sac sport. Who cheats? It's simpler to list who doesn't in this sizzling 4-Disc Season 2 Set of the long-running hit series. And there's a lot more excitement: J.R. and Bobby Ewing swap Texas drilling for California dreaming and visit, crooks muscle in on Gary, a hitchhiker accuses Sid of rape, armed robbers hold the cul-de-sac women hostage... and the season ends with a genuine cliffhanger: Sid careening toward a seaside cliff after someone tampers with his car!

5.0 out of 5 stars Distraught!! May 19, 2007

By Nicola Halliday

2 weeks ago I was absolutely delighted to discover that I could buy knotslanding season one - which I did straight away. It certainly wasnt very well publicised in the UK that it was available - in fact it wasnt publicised at all, so no wonder sales havent been brilliant.

To my horror after watching the first season I now hear that there is doubts as to whether any more seasons are going to be available. I just can't believe that such a great show is not going to be released.

Come on Warner brothers - there are millions of knots landing fans just waiting to relive all the drama - don't let us down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Somebody needs to hurry things along!!!!!! May 16, 2007

By Gary Steele

I was an avid Knots Landing fan when it was on. I have season 1 and I'm STILL waiting on Season 2. I agree with everyone else here. Somebody needs to get things going and start releasing some more Knots Landing DVDs. I'll be highly upset if they do not release anymore. Trust me, they release them, I'm sure there are plenty of us who will buy them. The sales will go up, I promise you!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Could the wait be over? May 11, 2007

By L. Denker

For a show that ran for 14 years, Warner Bros. have sure taken their sweet time coming out with additional seasons of the show. They cited "slow" sales for Season 1 which has them second guessing releasing subsequent seasons. Season 1 only had 13 episodes. They should have combined Season 1 and Season 2 together. Season 2, after all, is when things really start rolling with the debut of Donna Mills as "Abbey Cunningham". I think the sales would have been better had the first two seasons been combined.

Knots Landing ran for 14 years. It did not have the popularity that "Dallas" had but it was a great show regardless...especially in later seasons with the addition of William Devane and Nicollete Sheridan. Marcia Cross also makes an appearance towards the end of the shows run.

I do hope Warner Bros. gets on the ball and realizes there is a large fan base out here waiting for the release of more seasons.

5.0 out of 5 stars At least there's a link for it. Must be released soon...Donna Mills included! July 29, 2007

By Jeff Pearlman

Like all/most great shows, Knots Landing started to hit its stride a bit past the first season. I have little doubt that sales of Season Two would increase for one reason: Donna Mills. She walked the line between vicious and just-not-heartless enough to keep us loving and hating her for years. Abby's clashes with Karen and Val were legendary, though her first target was the ever-tenuous Avery marriage. Bigger Knots fanatics than I (me?) are researching this...I just needed to add my name to the growing list of those waiting. And as always, please e-mail me Constance McCashin, by clicking my name above. I hope you're doing well!
