[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 426232, member: 7"] I've watched the first seven seasons of FALCON CREST and maybe the first twelve or thirteen episodes of Season 8. I still say I'm going to finish the show one day, but the glacial writing pace that they introduced in the eighth season just worn my out. And then there's the Ortega clan. Melissa was one of my favorite characters, and to replace her with someone like Pilar is just mind-boggling to me. Season 1 laid a good foundation, while I'd argue Seasons 2 and 3 are peak FALCON CREST. Season 4 started to show signs of wear, and Season 5 just lacked any true focal point as it swelled into melodramatic drabness. Season 6, for my tastes anyway, was actually quite good and I could go along with some of the new directions and changes. Season 7 just made things too silly and there were so many guest stars and short-term story-arcs, that I can honestly say there were times I hadn't a clue who was on the screen and what was going on. Season 8 slowed things painfully down and I got bored real quick. Season 9 intrigues me, but who knows if I'll ever get to it. [/QUOTE]
