For me, it would be Knot's Landing. I watched it during the entire 4,000 years it was aired. I still remember When Valene recovered her kidnapped twins. *sniff* I also remember when Gary Ewing got caught cheating on Val and jumped out of bed wearing only his bikini briefs. *boing* Even the later years were good, with that parade of bitchy female characters played by Nicolette Sheridan, Lar Park Lincoln and Kathleen Noone, among others.
*sigh* My world would not be complete unless I knew that somewhere in the universe, Valene is still out there, still being victimized. On the other hand, my world is also scarred from the lingering images I have as a result of seeing what Joan Van Ark's plastic surgeon has done to her.

OMIGOD! Isn't she just a mess? I saw her on something about a year ago, and she scared the hell outta me!
I certainly hope she sued. I can't imagine that was the look she was going for.

Exactly! That poor woman scares the viewers of all of the parades she hosts!
This was especially brought home to me recently when I caught "Frogs" on cable. This is a 70's "horror" movie about killer frogs in Louisiana, where everybody talks in a fake southern accent, all of the males have vigorously hairy chests, and many lingering shots of motionless, ribbiting toads are meant to scare you. Anyway, Joan Van Ark had a lead role in this film, and she looked great in all of her yellow terry-cloth short-pant jumpers. Not freakish at all! If this movie were cast today, she could only play one of the menacing toads.

i think it's quite SAD but also FUNNY seeing what these AGEING actresses do to themselves with surgery !!!
there are indeed some scary looking women out there, they end up looking like 'someone else' don't you think ???

The only one of those shows I ever watched more than a few minutes of was Dallas -- mostly because I was fond of the guilty-pleasurish theme song and the opening montage filmed by helicopter over Dallas...
