[QUOTE="Carrie Fairchild, post: 131173, member: 673"] 1 - Paper Dolls: for all of it's faults, one of the areas that PD excelled in was it's location shoots around New York City. The city was another character on the show. People went running in Central Park, had business lunches on skyscraper rooftop restaurants and Morgan Fairchild sauntered around the city streets, clad in furs. In a time when the city scenes on the other soaps could've been interchangeable, PD's gave you a real sense of location. 2 - Knots Landing: of the Big 4, I feel it was the best at doing outdoor scenes. Early on, the beach was utilised to great effect and later the rolling fields of Gary's ranch and Greg's home added to the feel that the show's universe had expanded. 3 - Flamingo Road: simple location shooting on the small town streets and at sweaty swamps added to the show's tropical sleaze factor that set it apart from the other soaps. 4 - Falcon Crest: the rolling vistas of Tuscany Valley were beautiful when seen and gave me a sense of the vast kingdom of grapes that Angela was trying to rule. 5 - Dallas: my recollection is that much of the action was based around the house and the offices but the occasional trips out into the further reaches of Southfork's lands, usually provided characters with a tranquil oasis away from whatever madness was going on in the house that week.
