[QUOTE="Karin, post: 439038, member: 57167"] In Sweden the two big prime time soaps in the 1980s were Dallas and Falcon Crest. Dallas was on Saturday nights over here and Falcon Crest was on Friday nights. They were on SVT, which is the public service channel, equal to the BBC in England. Back in the early 1980s we only had two channels so both shows were really popular pulling in 2-4 million viewers every week. For a country with a population of less than 10 million people those numbers were really good. Around 1984 SVT tried to replace Dallas with Dynasty. It didn't work. The audience demanded Dallas came back. In the late 1980s after we got cable channels Knots Landing was on TV3 and had the title "JR's bror". They only broadcast until the cliffhanger with Val's babies. In the 1990s Dynasty, Dallas, Falcon Crest and Knots Landing were all rerun in the afternoons on channels like TV4, TV3 and SVT. I watched the shows after school. :) [/QUOTE]
