Diana was an idiot for thinking Chip would treat her any differently than he treated Ciji, and completely unethical for helping him get away with the murder of another human being. I hated this character.
Yes,such an annoying character, if only Knots trades Diana for Annie Fairgate,her step sister, the first daughter of Sid Fairgate. Karen Allen (Pilot).
Knots Landing at its best! I didn't truly understand Diana's character in the whole Chip Roberts storyline -- marrying and defending a man you KNOW is a murderer -- but it gave Michelle Lee and Julie Harris some some great material to showcase their characters.
***** It was truly fantastic for most of it's run. Lee & Van Ark were exceptional in the show as was most everyone. Best stories ever! If you ever get a chance to see it, the best years are probably around season 2 after Sid dies (when the show turned more into a soap -- after the success of DALLAS -- and up through the Jill storyline 1989. To this day it remains my favorite TV series ever!
TimsDale4ever Agreed. I always liked Knots over Dallas or Falcon Crest, the other shows I watched with my mom (she wasn't into Dynasty, so neither was I). The characters were just more down-to-earth on Knots than on the other shows. J.R. was a larger-than-life SOB, and all that oil business was just a bit much. Knots was a show about people who lived in middle-class homes, who drove middle-class cars and worked middle-class jobs (until, of course, Gary inherited his Ewing money and Greg Sumner came on board). Even when Abby moved up in the world, she was still a down-to-earth bitch -- she could be self-centered and conniving with others, but she would go through fire to protect her kids.
@@lmdmn1645 she did not . She saved her daughter in law from him . He was crazy he accidently fell . If she woudnt come in time he d kill not only himself but her too
Diana was always screaming at someone with that permanent scowl on her face. She never was likable or even in a good mood. I never understood why that character was even created because she added nothing to the show.
At least Diana had great hair at the beginning of the series. Now with it hacked like that she has no redeemable qualities. Too bad Lilimae didn’t run over both her and Chip; they both had it coming.
Everybody hated Diana. I don’t know if it was the actress or the character they hated more. I just always hated how she gave Karen such a hard time about.........EVERYTHING!
Diana the smart ass daughter. A character l couldn’t stand. I liked her Cousin Olivia. She cleaned herself up. Didn’t Diana die off towards the series’s finale? OD? Really don’t remember. College and I couldn’t watch all the time. Wasn’t Lillimae mentally disturbed?
The detective at 1:06 is played by British actress Joanna Pettet. Back in the 1960s, she was a close friend of the actress Sharon Tate. Joanna had lunch and spent the afternoon of August 8th 1969 at Sharon’s home on Cielo Drive in LA, celebrating the coming birth of Sharon’s baby. Joanna said Sharon was over the moon in anticipation of her baby’s arrival. Mere hours later, followers of Charles Manson invaded the property and well, the rest is notorious history. The afternoon lunch on that fateful day is featured briefly in Quentin Tarantino’s film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, with Joanna played by Rumer Willis to Margot Robbie’s Sharon.
Joanna was really good in her role of the detective and a few other things i’ve seen of hers. And she was beautiful. She was in a weird haunted house movie with Lynne Moody, too. Lol.
Julie Harris brought something extra special to "KL"! No Donna Mills or Nicolette Sheridan necessary as the multi talented Julie Harris with the help of the supporting series regulars carry these scenes brilliantly.
I loved this show as a child. I was a weird kid, haha. It really is uncanny how great the casting is. You van really see a resemblance between Julie and Joan Van Ark ("Val").
Does anyone else think the way this scene was shot and directed bares an eerie resemblance to Kubrick's The Shining? The slo-mo, the background music, just reminds me of the kissing the woman in the tub scene or the Danny drooling scene.
The warped sounding strings to build uncomfortable tension or danger were a pretty common trope back then…underscore like this was in lots of crime and hourlong drama shows in the late 70’s. What’s best about this scene is how we see Karen quietly staring at Lilimae, and then Lilimae’s reaction as Diana is freaking out. Pretty brilliant.
Lilimae's gorgeous LTD is everything. And the looks she and Karen exchanged after she ran Chip over were priceless.... Like we knew what had to be done. Lilamae Clements, the original OG.
I have misremembered this: I thought she ran over Joshua! It was Chip Roberts! Loved Lilimae!!! (: Julie Harris was amazing, which she had stayed on the show until the end!
wow i didn't realize how lovely Laura is until watching this video, she was the perfect wife yet Richard took her for granted sleeping around with Abby from the minute she moved in.
Omg! These TV shows back then made all this look so fuckin real. The Haunting music! The Big Ford Ltd Hits This Guy Hard! Even BUSTED the Windshield with his Body! I've been in car crashes and hit my own Head into a Windshield. I gotta give it to the Stunt People. This definitely looks real!!! Just like when Bobby Ewing got Hit with the Big GM sedan ran him over! Car crashes are hard to walk away from!✝️
God why couldn't OG Lilimae have nailed Diana too with that big gorgeous LTD of hers? That car had more than enough room on that bumper and hood to take out both Chip AND that brat Diana.
That was mind blowing the acting was right to the point they rock it i forgot it was acting they were robbed from getting lots and lots of Emmys. 11:1811:18
Michael Sabatino played Chip. He played on daytime soaps Days Of Our Lives, Bold and the Beautiful, and Passions. Alec Baldwin played Val's half brother Joshua Rush. His character married Cathy (played by Lisa Hartman Black) and he later turned out to be a psycho.
I have all the seasons of Knots Landing. But, after Laura died, the show went down hill. Every once in while, I will watch the later episodes and I will think the later seasons can not bring Laura back, very sad.
I wished she was driving an Audi 5000. She could have blamed the faulty accelerator. However Ford had problems with the cruise control component causing the car to go,out of control.
The slow-mo and music really bring this scene to a rightful climax. Knots really knew how to be melodramatic!
Love my Knots!
One of the best shows ever!
WE NEED TV SHOWS LIKE THIS TODAY KNOTS LANDING WAS THE BEST SHOW ON TV CBS FIRST AND ONLY HIT SHOW
Diana was an idiot for thinking Chip would treat her any differently than he treated Ciji, and completely unethical for helping him get away with the murder of another human being. I hated this character.
Diana didn't know about Ciji until after Chip murdered her 😢
Yes but she defended him to her family and refused to testify against him so he ended up walking away from murdering Ciji in cold blood.
Yes,such an annoying character, if only Knots trades Diana for Annie Fairgate,her step sister, the first daughter of Sid Fairgate. Karen Allen (Pilot).
Michelle Lee's scene was fantastic!

@@lecuyerdooley1084 definitely
Powerful scene - don't mess with Lillie Mae!!
Yup, Lili Mae went on to cause the death of her own son!
@@lmdmn1645 she did not . She saved her daughter in law from him . He was crazy he accidently fell . If she woudnt come in time he d kill not only himself but her too
Diana was always screaming at someone with that permanent scowl on her face. She never was likable or even in a good mood. I never understood why that character was even created because she added nothing to the show.
Yes and that Tootsie haircut didn't help either.
hoagie1978 Your comment was so funny!
I couldn't stand the Diana character. She was a waste of screen time.
At least Diana had great hair at the beginning of the series. Now with it hacked like that she has no redeemable qualities. Too bad Lilimae didn’t run over both her and Chip; they both had it coming.
@@hoagie1978 LMAO
Everybody hated Diana. I don’t know if it was the actress or the character they hated more. I just always hated how she gave Karen such a hard time about.........EVERYTHING!
Diana was good . With Karen they were sometimes the same stubborn 😊 the worse what can happen to a woman or a man if such jerk is controling them
The character I couldn't stand. IDK Claudia Lonow in person, so I couldn't say I don't like her
@@nightowlchadclaudia is pretty awesome but she later moved into writing and producing i think.
I was only a child when Knots Landing was in its heyday but I distinctly remember despising the daylights out of Diana.
i never cared for diana either and hated the way she treated her mother
reGeNeRaTe X She was lucky she wasn't with Chip long enough for them to find her body somewhere.
I hated her too. I think I remember one of her brothers slapped her for the way she was treating their mother and I was saying "Yes!"
Diana the smart ass daughter. A character l couldn’t stand. I liked her Cousin Olivia. She cleaned herself up. Didn’t Diana die off towards the series’s finale? OD? Really don’t remember. College and I couldn’t watch all the time. Wasn’t Lillimae mentally disturbed?
reGeNeRaTe X She really was annoying, yet she reminded me of some people I met in High School.
Lillimae thought of Chip as some one with good in him.Then she realized she was wrong....😮 She knew he would kill again..

She used the correct car that LTD wasn't even damaged! newer cars totaled
Land Yacht!
How on earth did Karen and Sid raise such a brat?
No
Kidding
She
Was
A
Brat
@@trishmcgrath3794a brat? Try stark raving b****
Awesome show! Chip,Joshua, Jill,Danny and Linda Fairgate. This show should’ve been called Nuts Landing! LOL!
I was 8 when I discovered Knots Landing. My parents use to record the episodes on tape.
Julie Harris brought something extra special to "KL"! No Donna Mills or Nicolette Sheridan necessary as the multi talented Julie Harris with the help of the supporting series regulars carry these scenes brilliantly.
I loved this show as a child. I was a weird kid, haha. It really is uncanny how great the casting is. You van really see a resemblance between Julie and Joan Van Ark ("Val").
Lilimae “I just did what needed to be done.”
Lilimae was a G!!!
Wonderful show
Lille's Mae done lost her shit!
Such an exceptional scene
Yet ANOTHER wonderful slo-mo scene. Absolutely NAILED IT ‼️
Does anyone else think the way this scene was shot and directed bares an eerie resemblance to Kubrick's The Shining? The slo-mo, the background music, just reminds me of the kissing the woman in the tub scene or the Danny drooling scene.

The Karen of all Karen's
Lillimae is a REAL ONE!!!
Val looks cute in her sundress
I love that Diana never showed remorse even in the end.....
When this show was good, it was DAMN GOOD!
loved this show. it started when i was about 10. : )
😈Justice was served.
michelle lee, so fabulous. that was a lot lines really fast!
Michael Sabatino such a good actor, he made me hate him.
10:01 I would have liked a quick shot of Karen's surprised expression after Lillimae steps on the gas.
It's funny because when Karen get out the car, she seems saying "pas ça"! In french who is meaning "Not that"!
Of course!! They probably shot one but Michele probably chewed too much scenery, so they edited it out. Lol.
@@Mister_Listener haha possibly
That'll teach him to mug for the camera. _VVRRRROOOOMMMM_ *dugghzz!*
80s & 90s TV Shows Are The Best 💯 Period
Only Julie Harris could play the role of such a flawed and foolish woman but still maintain full love and support of her audience!!
Michael Sabatino Was A Good Actor He's Married To Crystal Chappell (Olivia On Guiding Light) His Role As Geneva Was Best He Played A Great Killer
the worse crime is Laura's overalls !
Hilarious!
What was She Josephine the Plumber of KL.
😂😆😂😆
One good thing about Diana is that she stuck by her husband. Even if it was costing every one else
This episode gives me the creeps!! In a good way. 🥳🥳🥳💯
I have misremembered this: I thought she ran over Joshua! It was Chip Roberts! Loved Lilimae!!! (: Julie Harris was amazing, which she had stayed on the show until the end!
spoiler...
She berated Joshua and disowned him during a showdown on the roof of a hotel. He backed away shocked, and fell to his death.
wow i didn't realize how lovely Laura is until watching this video, she was the perfect wife yet Richard took her for granted sleeping around with Abby from the minute she moved in.
“I just did what needed to be done.”
He’s dead Jim. 👮♀️

Karen would kill Lilimae over her child
LMAO!!!
My Aunt had an LTD like that. It was her favorite ride. That lead Sled should have killed him.
HILARIOUS
He killed Ciji Dunne glad the pitchfork got him in the end. Love love Lisa Hartman.
that pitchfork scene still haunts me to this day, in a good way. Chip got his comeuppance!
@@QueenAlexis556 same for me
Joanna Pettet was so good!!
Look at him he doesn't care he looks cold hearted
That was mind blowing the acting was right to the point they rock it i forgot it was acting they were robbed from getting lots and lots of Emmys. 11:18 11:18
Darn, I love Karen Fairgate Mackenzie.
Wasn't Chip's real name Tony Fineese? As I recall when this show was on the air...
Yes...
@@jameshendricks2197 I loved the Chip character. He was CREEPY!
Yes
This show sure has good Villains 😊 Now Im at season 5 there is Mark St Clair he s a villian sure .
I would have thought Laura would have run him over being such good friends with ciji
Love the car!
Timmerjax Yeah, definitely the right size car to kill someone.
Was that Jaws music when she drives up? LOL
Was that Jaws music as the LTD drove up?
Can I get an Amen?
what is the actor name who played Chip? Also who did Alex Baldwin play on Knotts
Michael Sabatino played Chip. He played on daytime soaps Days Of Our Lives, Bold and the Beautiful, and Passions. Alec Baldwin played Val's half brother Joshua Rush. His character married Cathy (played by Lisa Hartman Black) and he later turned out to be a psycho.
Wow Karen isn’t a Pollyanna in this episode!
What the heck did she run over the guy for? That wasn't going to solve anything.
You actually see the police Captain from Lethal Weapon in this for a minute.
Was that Marla Maples as the detective?
The detective was played by actress Joanna Pettet.
YOU JUST CAN'T RUN OVER SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE POOR 😨 VALS MOTHER
I Mean Chip /Tony.Fenece
There was another hit and run that I cant find.
I have all the seasons of Knots Landing. But, after Laura died, the show went down hill. Every once in while, I will watch the later episodes and I will think the later seasons can not bring Laura back, very sad.
Laura was my favorite character.
How did you get the entire series?
who is chip to lilimae
what was Chip to Lilimae? her nephew or something?
Just a guy who conned her in to taking him in to live with her and Val.
Lilimae killed two people! That we know of lol. Chip and her son Joshua...
She didn’t kill Joshua. He fell.
Damn!!!
Please help what Happened to Lillie mae after this
I wished she was driving an Audi 5000. She could have blamed the faulty accelerator. However Ford had problems with the cruise control component causing the car to go,out of control.
Lip palm...nail clipper...
As a Knots fan from way back... I found the Diana character annoying and tolerate at best. Her story lines ..ugg.
You're welcome
