I think the era of the prime-time soap was just coming to a close. Quite frankly, the way season 9 somewhat was transitioning the show from a soap into more of a crime based, or more modern show -might have been just about the only hope of it lasting longer, and that failed miserably. As others have said, it was almost more like a season long pilot, but it was still branded under 'Falcon Crest', so..that alone..it wasn't going to reel in new viewers.I realize Knot's Landing managed to make it longer somehow, but it's one that I am almost entirely unfamiliar with. I think one of the problems with Falcon Crest was that they eliminated too many of the female characters that some possibly felt a connection with, or damaged them too much. Dallas had that same problem..</blockquote>
