SEDUCING ITS WAY ONTO DVD APRIL 14
BURBANK, CALIF. (March 4, 2009) - The wait is finally over. The cultural phenomenon that showed the seamier side of small town life is back when Warner Home Video debuts
Knots Landing: The Complete Second Season on DVD April 14, 2009.
Season Two marks the introduction of one of television's most infamous characters, Abby Cunningham (Donna Mills), who begins her legendary run of seductions and manipulations. Long before
Desperate Housewives,
Knots Landing delved into the tempestuous lives and loves of five suburban families, who live in an always interesting, upper-middle class cul-de-sac. A must-have for every classic TV collection,
Knots Landing: The Complete Second Season includes 4 discs containing all 18 episodes, and is priced at $39.98 SRP.
This season, bed-hopping becomes the latest cul-de-sac sport. Who cheats? It's simpler to list who doesn't in this sizzling season of the long-running hit series. But wait, there's more. J.R. and Bobby Ewing swap Texas drilling for California dreaming, a hitchhiker accuses Sid of rape, armed robbers hold the cul-de-sac women hostage, and the season ends with a shocking cliffhanger - literally - when Sid careens toward a seaside cliff!
A spin-off of
Dallas,
Knots Landing debuted on CBS December 27, 1979 and aired its final episode in 1993. Starring Ted Shackelford (Gary Ewing), Joan Van Ark (Valene Ewing), Michele Lee (Karen Cooper Fairgate) and John Pleshette (Richard Avery),
Knots Landing brought to prime time rich, complex characters that were as ruthless, cruel and vindictive as they were vulnerable, loving and compassionate. Winner of an Emmy Award® for Outstanding Achievement in Music Composition and nominated for a total of three Emmy Awards® and one Golden Globe Award® during its 14-season run, the series explored social issues that many other shows avoided, including episodes on illegal and prescription drug abuse, abortion, homelessness, the environment and illiteracy. The DVD release will be supported by a traditional PR and online media campaign.
