[QUOTE="TJP, post: 439045, member: 5151"] On an international basis, "Falcon Crest" was way more popular than "Knots Landing". "Knots was also sold to fewer countries than "Falcon Crest". Aside from the typical markets in North and South America and Europe, "Falcon Crest" was even highly successful in countries in the Middle East, in Israel, South Africa and Japan (among others). "Knots" had a bad fate internationally because it was sold in many countries at a later time (far beyond the initial U.S. broadcast), and when it arrived abroad, the visual impression of the first few seasons, which was very 1970's, did not make a good, contemporary impact. In Germany, it débuted even ten years after its original première, and although it still has a following here, it failed to find its niche among the classic prime time soaps during the original German broadcast, which is why one channel dumped it, and it was constantly shifted around in timeslots. It was only in the 1990's when a cable station decided to air the whole series on a daily basis. [/QUOTE]
