8/10
You can't disturb God, he watching Knots Landing!

That's what somebody said when they wanted to talk to God. Anyway, Knots Landing had a lot more than Dallas did in the way of great characters. The cast was first rate starring Michele Lee, Joan Van Arks, Donna Mills, Julie Harris, Constance McCashin, William Devane, Nicolette Sheridan, etc. Who could forget Nicolette Sheridan and William Devane's characters playing cricket? The female roles were equally strong as the male roles. I forget who played Michele Lee's husband. I loved Constance McCashin in her role. She was superb but her character died. The show was popular because it was character based and the writing was far better than the other sister soaps. The families on this show never appeared super-rich like their mother show, Dallas. Ted Shackelford plays a Ewing living in California. The fact that this show had a consistent following and guest stars including Alec Baldwin, Michelle Phillips, and many others proved that this show was a force to be reckon with.
