Reruns
Knots Landing was first packaged into syndication for off-network broadcast in local markets by Lorimar in 1984. This package started with the "Lorimar Presents" logo and had a narrated recap of each episode set to the theme music. The first 190 episode were packaged this way, but only the first 160 episodes were seen in local market syndication. Knots Landing then appeared on the cable channel TNT in September 1992 and ran through May 1993 (only the first 160 episodes were broadcasted during this run.) TNT became the first network to broadcast all 344 episodes of Knots Landing during its second syndication run to the series beginning in 1995. SoapNet later acquired the rights to the series when it first went on the air in January of 2000. Knots Landing has not been seen in United States syndication since SoapNet quit broadcasting it.
