Oh, one of my favorites shows. Thursday nights were reserved for Knots Landing.

These people are sooooo lucky living in these houses! Knots is my favorite show, thanks for the tour!

One of my all time favorite soaps, ever!

Oh the knots landing theme....my childhood came running back in!! Such lovely owners! So nice of them to share their homes

Great show! But Knots went off the air in 1993, not 1991. It ran from 1979 to 1993. 14 years of joy!

Dude your videos are the best! I love Knots! Thanks for sharing ! ❤️🏡

Loved this!! I'm an avid KNOTS LANDING fan. Knots actually aired its final episode on 5/13/93 not 1991 like you had said I'm this documentary. You did a great job on this. Thank you so much!

WoW!! Thats cool. i was 13 yrs old when the show premiered..watched every show!! no show like it until Desperate Housewives came and went..Great Tv. Thanks!! 😁

I remember an episode where Larry Hagman was walking in the cul desac

Thank you so much! Great job! I LOVED Knots! That’s where you found me EVERY Thursday night!!

I met the owners of the Ewings house on the Cul De Sac who lived there during the series production. They were compensated more than others on the street. Their house was open for cast and crew to use the bathrooms, telephone, etc... I was there during the production and had the opportunity to visit and be inside the house. The garage was also used by the Knots production to store items that were routinely used. Every homeowner on the Cul de sac and the street were compensated something, although different and less amounts. Some were compensated $500 per day while the Owners of Valene Ewing's house were compensated well over $2000 a day during production on the Cul de Sac.

I live 6-8 miles from this house, one day I'll be brave and drive past it - I'd love to see it in person. I did that with the Brady house a few years back - very early on a Sunday morning! It's very cool seeing these homes in person - especially this one because Knots Landing was one of my favorite shows.

Thank Bob for this video. The people who live in theses houses for real, seem kind, and very down to earth people.

This is so interesting Knots Landing... kool ..

Thanks .....a great fun episode..... its an Emmy winner.

I miss the early seasons of this show. To me Kenny and Ben were two of the cutest men in Knots Landing. I loved Kenny more than I did Ben, but they were both hot men.

15:36 I love this home...whew...

Gary and Val look a lot younger than I thought they would look so many years later.

Great video. I didn't miss this show.

They look like the nicest neighbors ever!

I really enjoyed THIS thank you.

Whenever I finally get to LA, this circle is on my list of places to visit. Thanks for the video !!!!

The inside entry of the Val's real house is very similar to the set, so when the front door is open on the real house, it looks like the set does. The set also included a replica of the exterior front porch seen on the real house. In the reunion, once the cast is inside, they're on a set in a soundstage. Sets don't have second floors in most cases, Knots included. The actor walks up stairs, then they cut to the actor walking onto a different set that represents the upstairs. I shot in June.

Thank you. Just the other day I thought, "Why didn't I ask to go out back????" They rarely filmed in the actual backyards of the homes, and much has changed since the show went off the air. As for Hollywood Magic, it depends. If you see them outside of the house, say in the driveway, and they walk all of the way to the front door and go inside, they walked into the real house. But in all cases, the interior was a set. They'd cut to the studio shot. Often, the real owners were put in hotels.

I don't blame you for not interviewing the neighbors in the next house. That place is cursed. One woman died of a brain tumor & the next owner got killed by a drunk driver.

I'd love to have seen the sets for Knots. So many of them! 5 houses, the ranch, offices, Lotus Point, etc. They filmed at Lorimar (AKA MGM) now Sony. Very hard to find photos of the sets...I keep trying. Take the Warner Bros. VIP tour in Burbank--they take you onto TV and film sets in use at the time--not cheap, but a great tour!

Thanks for all the tips and for your video again...I watched it several times to be sure I didn't miss anything. As mentioned earlier, I do hope to visit the cul-de-sac one day and perhaps take that Burbank tour you mentioned. It's been fun talking about KL, I really miss that show. Happy Holidays!!!!

I know the street was there in 1997 have a few photos of them along with my truck at the time...I was very quiet while there took my photos and on my way out the police passed by me...It's still a beautiful place to visit in person...

LOVE the "Match Game" departing contestant gift cue in the middle!

Technically it didn’t last longer than Dallas. Dallas aired during 14 seasons, 357 episodes. They both ran during 14 TV seasons. Knots Landing had 344 episodes. Dallas also had 3 movies with a Reunion as well. Dallas had a reboot in 2012 which had 3 more seasons with 40 episodes. So it ran a total of 17 TV season. That being said I love both Dallas and Knots.

Thank you, Paul. Very much appreciated. Happy Holidays!!

Val and Gary were not kicked off of Dallas.(They had to cameo Gary and Val's rolls for the Knots Landing Series) Knots Landing was written first but David Jacobs developed Dallas afterward and decided to shoot that series first, The original Knots landing series used 5 houses, The Ewing House, The Fairgate/McKensie house, The Avery house, and the Wards. And later on the Abby Cunningham house that was used by Claudia Sumner later in the seasons.

Great video! Loved the show.

I wish the Williams' could've stayed on longer. I really liked Pat. It was so sad when she was killed by crazy Danny.

Who would have thought that the "Fonz" would be a celebrity on the set!

I hope these people have an alarm system because Jill Bennett might break in and terrorize that woman in her bedroom. I hope she watched that episode when Val was almost killed by Jill, if I'm not mistaken she still has the key to her house.

Hi Bob - great job!!! Loved KL growing up and still watch my DVD's and some of the episode's on YT. Did you know that I was told by the prior Val home owners in '96 or '97 that the production manager for KL owned Val's house? I think they were playing cards and one of the producers mentioned they needed a location and he volunteered his home! That's why they chose THAT cul-de-sac! SMART production manager - had his mortgage paid off for 14 years (as you stated), as did the other home owners that were featured in the series.

wow it's great to see that!! i hope one day be there !! tkx so much yoan from france!!

Love it!

Well done! Thank you so much!

I REALLY wanted to live on that Cul de Sac!!

Thank you for this interesting episode. I always enjoyed watching Knots Landing and, from April 2013, I am going to do it all over again. Knots Landing is coming to the UK on the CBS Drama channel!!

It's Hard to believe they went off in May 1993 and not in 91 and here we are going into 2013 that makes it 20 years

Great site Bob! Do you happen to know where Abby and Gary's Malibu beach house was located during the CiJi episodes.

Yeah, us "Match Game" fans pick up on that one quickly (even if GSN refuses to show them these days!) Thank God for the DVD set, as it shows director Marc Breslow's great work with them!

Cool 🎉

Thank you! Falcon Crest is on our list. :-)

I ALWAYS WONDERED IF THAT CULDESAC WAS ON THE BACKLOT AT WARNER BROTHERS,ITS REAL WOW,

Very nice people.

I wondered if the owners of Gary and Val's house are fans of the show bc they certainly resemble them!

Doesn't make any sense how they wouldn't have known the house was in the show when they bought it. At the very least the real estate agent would have told them. Also, the house would have been priced much higher because of that.

That was fab!! Always wondered if the houses were similar inside!! Can you visit the Falcon Crest mansion next???X

Thanks and will do!!!

Love it!!!!

My bucket list is to live on the cul- de-sac

Thank you so much! Stay tuned for more early next year. :)

You're more than welcome. I miss the show, too. Happy Holidays to you as well. Once we get past the holidays, we'll rev up and do more Bobbing Along shows. You can also follow us on Facebook at Bobbing Along TV for all the latest news.

When the actors/actresses were coming in or out of the house, did they actually go in the houses or was that all hollywood magic. Also, when they were filming scenes outside and there were so so many of them, where were the real homeowners. I wish you could've gone outback but this was a very interesting video. Thanks

Knots Landing!

Oh, I do realize they are on sets and I realize the reunion was a set of Karen's house, and I know there are no upstairs on sets, I would just love to see pictures of an actual set or even a video. That would make for some great TV for us fans who love all the behind the scenes stuff. I've seen a few vid's on youtube of people who have visited the cul-de-sac, is it easy to find when you're in that area. I'm in PA and hope to visit one day. If you ever get on a set, please post pics!!!

Trust me, we want to! We need to sell the show so we have an actual budget. Fingers are crossed!

Thank you beyond words. This is probably my favorite show of all time - except for the last 3 seasons that were just horrible to me. I can't believe that 20 years after the show ended how extremely little the houses and landscapes have changed. Since the front door was wide open, I was so hoping you would quickly show a camera shot just inside "Val's" house from the front door just to see how different it was from the set. The thing I noticed most on the inside of the MacKenzie house was that instead of the fireplace being on the back wall, wasn't that their formal dining area just off the kitchen? I remember them sitting around a table back there in many episodes. I think the MacKenzie set actually had the fireplace on the side wall of the living room area that would but up against the side of Val's house. On another note, what was that purple blooming tree in front of Abby's house? Gorgeous! Must be native to California. Where were the exteriors of Gary's ranch shot? Thanks again. I must visit there one day!

I really enjoyed that, I wonder who lives in Abbys house.

You're the first to catch that! :)

Can you go to Flamingo Road and visit Lute Mayes please

You must've not been a huge fan of the show like I was. KL ended in 1993 not 1991 as you said around 13:00. I also had the pleasure of visiting that cul-de-sac in 2014. The people in Val's house had a parrot of some kind that was just yelling....lol. She came out and greeted me....nice woman.

Both Blonde people like Gary and Val, coincidence

One quick question. Anyone know where I can watch Knots reruns? I have season 1 dvd but that’s all that was ever released. Thanks !

The name of the cul de sac is crystal aire place.

The finale was May 15th 1993, not 1991.

The first owner looks like a Will Farrell stand in.

Fan de knots landing j'aurais bien aimé que sa soit traduit en français

I've been watching knots for the past two weeks. There are many shots from the street of Valene walking out of the house you can see she must've been inside the real home. In the reunion the cast walks into the McKenzie home. Those homeowners must've spent lots of time in hotels...lol! Visiting the cul-de-sac is on my bucket list...how can I find it and also, when did you shoot your video? I would love to see pic of the actual set especially when an actor walks upstairs, what's up there!!!

I'd wish they use my home for 🎥 we would have cooperated 🤣😅😆

it went off in 1993

visit southfork ranch

Ironic that the two people who live in Gary and Val's house are also blondes.

Hope you can do a visit to Laura's house. People missed her when she was dropped from Knot's Landing. I stopped watching because of that.

The show did not end in 1991.

Bob you are funny, Knots Landing, ended in 1993 not 1991. Now, Dallas ended in 1991.
