[QUOTE="Karin Schill, post: 260946"] All very interesting discussions. In Sweden Dallas and Falcon Crest were the two big soap operas. We only had two TV channels at the beginning of the 1980s and they controlled what was being broadcast. Someone thought that we could only have one "trashy" show /channel. So we got Dallas in 1981. I guess Falcon Crest about a year later or so. Then in 1984 they tried to replace Dallas with Dynasty but the viewers protested so Dynasty was dropped and Dallas was back on. I'd say Dallas was the most popular of them all here in Sweden which is probably why TV3 originally tried to sell "Knots Landing" to the Swedish audience by calling the show "JR's bror". :D [/QUOTE]
