[QUOTE="Monzo, post: 358169, member: 19949"] My gut is telling me Falcon Crest was more successful than Knots Landing because it was like that in my home country Germany and from the international broadcasting history I've read here about both soaps, Knots Landing seems to have been treated pretty badly in quite a few countries and certainly not because of satisfactory ratings, but in the end nobody really knows. Even nowadays, when you can add up ratings of all countries, mostly only fake numbers come out. For example, the Eurovision Song Contest has not even half as many viewers as is claimed, or The Bold and the Beautiful, whose cast believes half the world is watching their show, only has around 15 million viewers worldwide. In the 80's, if someone told the Falcon Crest cast they were big in Europe, no one could verify in pre-internet days and the stars believed what they were told. [/QUOTE]
