Season 1 Reviews
Los Angeles Times
Howard Rosenberg
In attempting to be momentous, it demonstrates how difficult it is for significant drama to coexist with box office-dictated titillation. Caught in between, it is not good enough to be taken seriously. It is bad, but not bad enough to be really good.
Washington Post
Megan Rosenfeld
The problem with Knots Landing is that while Dallas succeeds as soap opera because the characters are larger than life, these characters are caricatures of life. There's romance in a ranch; there isn't much in a subdivision.
Kansas City Star
Gerald B. Jordan
This extension of Dallas only adds another hour to prime time trash, which in the case of Dallas has been a ratings winner for CBS.
Austin American-Statesman
Diane Holloway
The writers have turned out a wonderfully outrageous and sleazy television melodrama that can't help but provoke clucking, head-shaking and thigh-slapping. It is human hyperbole, pure and simple.
New York Times
John J. O'Connor
The characters run to easily identifiable types -- nice guys versus nasties. The situations are elementary -- sex, money and ambition. And the resolutions are inevitably comforting. Knots Landing has few pretensions to profundity or even subtlety.
Newsday
Marvin Kitman
Power! That's what Dallas is about: Naked power... Knots Landing is about just plain suburban folks lusting for power. It's so humdrum. Dallas is high class trash. Knots Landing is really trash, stuff right out of your own block.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Lee Winfrey
The network's newspaper ads for Knots Landing ballyhooed it as "a new series with all the power and passion of Dallas!" The premiere, however, failed to disclose anyone mean enough to last a minute in the ring with J.R.
Boston Globe
Peter J. Boyer
Knots Landing does lack the one element that makes Dallas work: The Ewings are a rich and powerful family, and their curious deeds are done against the backdrop of an insular society. It almost makes sense that everyone's so crazy.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Richard Zoglin
Like its parent, Knots Landing has a good deal of flash and old-fashioned melodramatic gusto. The dialogue is occasionally pungent, and the direction has more texture than usual for TV.
Miami Herald
Steven Reddicliffe
Alas, Knots Landing isn't nearly as good -- meaning as wonderfully bad -- as Dallas... "Knots" is an unhappy marriage of "Family" pathos and "Dallas" horniness of plenty, a union that turns out to be something of a drag.
