That, combined with a slight time change from its traditional spot, likely cost the show some viewers.Which also brings to mind something else. As more cable channels proliferated, the ratings shows got were much smaller. Knots Landing was often considered the tiniest of the four, and only started outdoing the others in the final years. By contrast, the biggest of the 2000s soap craze, Desperate Housewives, was considered a major hit. But if you look at the audience averages, Housewives' biggest season (its debut year), had smaller audiences then the first ten seasons of Knots, and only three of DH's seasons had better ratings than Knots' least watched year.</blockquote>
