I realize that this series is not going to be an enormous seller, considering the majority of those who purchase this series on DVD are likely to be older than 35.  However, there are still thousands of people who are ready and willing to lay down their money for this show as long as season sets continue to be released (preferably 2 sets per year).  The fact that so many shows are being rereleased over and over again, while a series like this that lasted 14 seasons is being abused so terribly is ridiculous.  Knots Landing is not going to sell the way Friends has, but it has a large enough fanbase to support further sets to be released.  PLEASE, Shout! Factory.  Talk to WB about licensing the remaining seasons of this show and release them on DVD!!

Would it help if we converged on the cul-de-sac in Granada Hills, California, and brought picket signs?

Seasons 1 and 2 look lonely on my shelf.
POOR VAL!!

Shout! Factory has to look into Knots Landing Seasons 3-14, since Warner Bros. has no current plans!  Please Brian Ward, see what you can do!

I am begging you too Brian.  Please get the rights to Knot's Landing!! Having bought other series sets from SHOUT, I know you guys will do Knot's Landing justice!

Can't wait to get my hands on your next releases of Rhoda, The Facts of Life, Simon & Simon, and Thirtysomething!

Keep up the great work!

Bob

HOLY S##!T!

I had absolutely NO IDEA there was a campaign going on for the continuing of Knots Landing through Shout! SIGN ME UP! But, I'm greedy. I don't want just season by season sets -- I want the complete series in a box set. of course, if you only release the series by season, I'll buy it but damn, what I wouldn't give for a complete series box set.

What's even more wild is, I already have the entire series on video that I taped from Soap.net. It's a pretty good set but I'm starting to get worried that my videos are not holding up to the test of time. I still watch this show from start to finish every other year (it usually takes about 6 months to go through all the episodes -- but then, I'm watching like 2-3 per night, late night) just to make sure the videos are still good but hey, Shout, PLS make this dream come true and release Knots.

What are the chances of getting Shout to experiement with Knots on releasing a complete series set?

I'm replying 2x because if Shout releases Knots, I'll buy 2 copies of the seasons released. One for me to watch and another to keep if something happens to the old set. Yeah, this is the only show ever in the history of television that I want in my library to watch 30 years from now. Knots Landing should be released fully and complete not only for the historic value but also because this show is an inspiration for many of the other shows on tv currently, like Desperate Housewives and needs to be released if only to serve as an inspiration for quality writing and acting for future generations.

Any hope??

I love my Knots!!

Shout! Shout! Let 'em all out!!

ON MONDAY TVSHOWSONDVD ARE HAVING A ONLINE CHAT WITH W/B

 WE ARE ALL CROSSING OUR FINGERS ON THIS AND DON'T FORGET IF ASK GOD FOR ANYTHING

BELIEVE IT AND IT WILL HAPPEN.

Perhaps to Warner Bros., not enough people were buying Knots Landing on DVD, and that could be the hold-up.

At this time Warner has said that they currently have "no plans" for more season sets of the show. That may change in the future, but then again it may not. What Warner MOST needs to see is that it's not only the passionate fans (the ones willing to come to TVShowsOnDVD and vote, and come to Facebook and complain about no current plans for the next release) who are willing to buy this show on DVD. It also needs to be bought by the "mainstream" group of more casual fans. Think of a family member (aunt, uncle, cousin, etc.), or friend, or a co-worker who's seen the show and enjoyed it, but isn't as heart-and-soul into the series as someone reading this probably is. Did THEY buy Knot's Landing on DVD? If not, then why not? What's stopping them? It's in stores and it's at Amazon, it's at a decent price (at the time of this writing, roughly ~$27 for S1 and the same for S2)...why hasn't it sold more? It was popular on broadcast (ran for 14 seasons, 1979-1993 on a Thursday night time slot going against big-ratings NBC shows like Hill Street Blues and LA Law); why isn't it selling better on DVD? If Warner sees the copies of the first two seasons - the ones that they've already produced - start to move out of stores and into people's homes (without having to lower prices so much that they're losing money on every copy), then they would most definitely start to make plans for S3 sets.

If not, Shout! Factory can always release it, as part of their new business deal.

Please Release Knots Landing Seasons 3-14, somebody!

Shout! Factory could at least to release Knots Landing seasons 3-14 as Shout! Select, if they ever get the rights from Warner Bros.!

Maybe the reason why Shout hasn't been able to release them is because Warner Bro's are being jerks, unwilling to license the rights. I heard on one of the WB chats on HTF that WB doesn't like to license their shows because they want to release the shows themselves. Thing is, WB doesn't want to release them and they don't want anyone else to either.

It's like the WB are holding Knots Landing hostage for a very high ransom.

If Shout! can license this series from WB and release season 3 before the end of the year, that would be awesome!  Then if Shout! deems sales to be "lower than expected" as WB has said about seasons 1 and 2, they can release the remaining ones as a Shout! Select title, in order to continue to provide the fans with the entire series and they can still make a profit as well.  I hope Shout! will get into talks with WB concerning the acquisition and release of the remaining seasons of Knots Landing soon!!

Since Warner Bros. have shown no interest in releasing Knots Landing, Why Shout! Factory release Season 3 and beyond?

Please look into Knots Landing, Shout! Factory!

I have the first 2 seasons of Knots Landing and am anxiously awaiting the remaining 12.  Please Shout Factory, lets get it released ASAP.

+1 for the rest of Knot's Landing.... this was and will always be my favorite dramatic series. I went to college and started my career with Knot's. I rearranged my work schedule to accomodate whatever Soapnet did with Knot's on it schedule. And I've been in withdrawal ever since it vanished overnight. Yes, another true Knot's addict steps forward!

I love every season and I want to own every season but I haven't bought anything yet because I was afraid they'd do exactly what they did, stall out at the beginning. I'm sure alot of fellow Knot's fans had the same fear. Not to mention Season 3 is when the series really starts hitting it's stride and the excitement goes through the roof. I shouldn't admit this but I'd pay stupid money to get the ENTIRE series at one time. I don't want dribs and drabs, I want it all. And yes, please, no hacked up syndicated version, I want every minute of it.

I know the unreleased seasons would sell like mad especially if they were either released as a giant Knot's Megaset or in quick succession, say Season 4 has an announcement date not too many months from when Season 3 comes out, or something along those lines.

Don't let us down Shout... this would be a gold mine for you as well us Knot's faithful! My credit card is poised and eagerly awaiting a call to action!

Count me in as a Knots Knut as well. I started watching in high school ('must see TV' for me and my family) and continued through every season - rearranging my college classes, work sched. for the show! About ten years ago, I watched it from beginning to end when they reaired it on Soapnet each day. I would love for it to be released in full on DVD.

Hi, I am one of Knots youngest fans. I starting watching the show on soapnet, it use to air before/after all my children marathons on saturdays and i got hooked! I seen episodes from various season but i only seen the first 5 seasons straigth through, and makes me even madder that the wb hasn't put out more seasons is because i feel like the show didn't become a real soap until season 5 and now i'm left on a real cliffhanger of karen being shoot and gary chasing after abby!

I really hope Shout gets the rights to release more seasons.

WestCrest you are correct.....Lisa Hartman was introduced in Season 4 as "Ciji Dunne".  She was killed off the show at the end of Season 4. Fans of the show (including myself back in the day) wrote in to the show/CBS to keep Lisa Hartman on the show. She returned in the 5th Season as "Cathy Geary" (please note the initials of her new characters name C.G. very creative on how the writers kept "Ciji" alive.....even though Lisa was playing a different character.  You all may already know Lisa's history on the show.....just some fun trivia for those out there who may knot!!!

I sure hope Warner or Shout! (or any studio for that matter) will finish producing "Knots Landing" Season sets. It's really ashame, because there is a loyal fan base for the show.  You would think that the "powers that be" at Warner would even consider releasing a limited edition or made to order DVD's for this show (kinda how they are doing this with "Falcon Crest"). Personally, I think "Knots Landing" was a much better show than "Falcon Crest", but that's my opinion.

On the positive front....Next week (April 19th to be exact), Lisa Hartman will be FINALLY releasing her record albums on CD!!!  Her first 3 albums!!! (She made a total of 4 albums.....the last one "Til My Heart Stops" is already available on CD).  The names of the albums that are being released next week are: "Lisa Hartman" (her debut album, which focused alot of country/blues tunes, and will feature 3 bonus tracks).  The second album, "Hold On" focuses more on the old motown / rock classics like "Old Time Rock And Roll", "You Keep Me Hanging On", "Hold On", and will feature 5 bonus tracks (which have never been heard before....one being a remake of  "Gimme Some Lovin'"). This album is an excellent album!! But the the third album being released next week, "Letterock" is my favorite. It features all the songs she sang on "Knots Landing" as Ciji. Among the songs featured are: "If Love Must Go", "Hole In My Heart", "Games", "New Romance (It's A Mystery)".  It will feature one bonus track "Where the Boys Are" from her movie "Where the Boys Are '84"....this is a great album...Classic 80's at it's best!!!). 

You can go to Amazon.com to purchase the cd's or to the official website of the label "Wounded Bird Records".  I sure hope that Lisa's music might inspire the releasing of more "Knots Landing" DVD seasons sets......"LETTEROCK!!!!

I have bought both season 1 and 2 releases but found the approach to the releases way out of line.  The first season was only a 1/2 season and was priced at 39.98   ????  For a 1/2 season?  Talk about greedy.  Full season half hour sitcom releases are priced less than that. 

Season 1 and season 2 were also more single episode storylinesl.  In my opinion season 1 & 2 should have been released together around the 39.98 price range.  And due to the longevity of the show, there should have been at least 3 season sets planned for release each year thereafter so it would not take 20-30 years (at the rate it is going) to get all seasons on DVD.

If you look at the current state of tv on dvd, shows with this many seasons to release have no chance of coming out. Clearly the first 2 seasons didn't sell. I saw them at Walmart for 10 bucks. Much like Peyton Place, this show will never be released again.

Maybe if WB had remembered the UK fans of Knots Landing & not just the US it may have helped sales! We were informed that Region 1 discs were available for Season 2 (the one which really starts it off) but no sign of Region 2 discs. Not everyone has multiregion players so the R1 discs were useless to us :(

The UK loved Dallas & Knots Landing and I don't know anyone who either didn't watch it religiously or at least tuned in to the odd episode.

I've now been forced to trail the 'nether regions' of the internet seeking out someone who has the entire series on disc which they've recorded from tv.

So if anyone does pick up the rights for distribution don't forget R2 discs for the UK, because we wana see it too!

Hi,

Although the first two seasons of Knots Landing were listed as region1.they were released as 0 region,so will play on your DVD player,am in the UK too.

I can't afford cable, and I have bunny ears. Since everything went digital, it's harder to get a perfect reception.  So, a few months ago I went to a Half Price Book Store and started collecting some television shows. When I found Knots, I was THRILLED!!!!!!!  I was lucky; they had Seasons 1 and 2 and I snatched them up right away!!  Then, I spent weeks searching for the rest of the seasons until I finally found out online that they haven't even been released!  I was a Dallas watcher too, but KNOTS WAS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!  Yet, all seasons of Dallas have been released, and only TWO seasons of Knots???

Every Thursday night was set aside for watching it. I looked forward ALL week long for Thursday night!  In college, I'd get my homework done and it would be my reward to myself.

I am wondering if the lack of release has anything to do with a certain cast member not giving permission. Can that happen? I racked my head to figure out who is in Season 3 that wasn't in Season 1 and 2, and who I came up with was Kevin Dobson "Mac."  I'm just throwing it out there, but could this be the case????  I have no clue.

Is anyone else tired of watching Season 1 and 2 all over again and again and again because it's all we have? I can't believe the crappy television shows that are available on dvd; yet the all-time best drama is not. 

You're lucky you got some of the seasons recorded. I had a TON of Knots on vhs, but lost them ALL in the 2008 flood here in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.  The main thought going thru your head as you're throwing your life out on the curb is "will I be able to replace this?"  I'm glad I didn't know at the time that I won't ever be able to replace them.

I don't understand the greed of not putting this fantastic show that has nearly a "cult" following on dvd.

Karen is my hero!!!!

I want to hear Karen's rose-colored glasses "Polyanna" speech to Gary. I LOVE Karen!  I relate so much with her. She's always volunteering for a cause (that's all I do), trying to save the world, and she never wavers in her integrity and honesty. She's fiesty and assertive, yet playful. She's a great mom and wife and friend.

She's the hero of the show, and I am still waiting for MY "Sid" or "Mac" to come along. What great role models all 3 of them were. Truly! When I was in a bad relationship, I'd think as I watched the show, "THAT's the way I want to be treated!"   

We miss you all, even "poor Val."   :-(

I really cannot believe that the remaining seasons of Knots Landing have not been released to DVD.   Many people grew up with this show and there are a great deal of fans.  There are over 9,000 views for this post.  Come on, Shout! step up to the plate and release this show.   The holidays are coming....   :)
