[QUOTE="Jock Og, post: 287708, member: 17"] A very comprehensive review of the wine saga, Rick! I'm glad you enjoyed the series, to the extent you did. After the show's creator Earl Hamner relinquished his input post season 5 I feel the show's identity for two years became a mixture of darkness and sitcom, which of course can be funny too. The show's most praised supervising producer was Robert L. McCullough. Robert (Bob) was there from the start to the end of season 3 (the plane crash en route to Italy). While not everyone's cup of tea I thought the Freilich penned seasons (6 and 7) were entertaining. I had high hopes for season 8, until we had the Pilar Ortega show and the pace went too pedestrian. Imho the ninth/final season wasn't FALCON CREST, for the most part. [B]Richard and Pamela are waiting for the other Falcon Crest partners, at the Tuscany Vintners' Associate Winery. Chao-Li arrives with Angela, in the black Mercedes 600 limo. The father and son champagne producers; Chase and Cole drive into the yard, in their pickup truck, (a scene from season 4, 1984 - '85): Richard opens the limo door for Angela and says: "Good morning! I appreciate your promptness. I want to welcome you all, to this special meeting of the Falcon Crest board of directors." Angela: "Do you mean to tell me I was summoned all the way out here, so I could be put on display?" Chase: "We all have that Angela. Didn't you read Richard's press release? He is transporting his bulk wine; to some warehouse, for aging and bottling." Cole: "Sounds exciting!" Richard: "It is to me." Chase: "Tell me something. What is the aging period on this swill of yours; a week, ten days?" Pamela laughs and Angela cracks a smile. Richard: "If you think you can offend me Chase you're wrong. You should be grateful to me. All of you should be. Here I thought I was going to have to build a brand new winery. Now I'm in business with rented and leased equipment." Pamela: "Which means a very small cash outlay, for the Falcon Crest partners." Angela: "I will not be grateful as long as Falcon Crest is involved in a rent a winery." Richard goes to the others, with the intention of getting a group photo. The photographer takes one photo. Angela looses the bap with the photographer: "Will you stop that! Now let's get on with it." Richard gives the signal to his henchmen to let the wine lorry go. The garage doors open and the vintage process commences. Richard: "Let the ceremony begin!"[/B] [/QUOTE]
