Knots Landing

This will likely mean absolutely nothing to many of our younger readers but... look, it's the cul-de-sac from Knots Landing!
For any of you young enough to have never heard of this show; Knots Landing was a popular night time soap opera that began in 1979, and ran all the way until 1993. Weirdly though, in nearly 30 years the cul-de-sac doesn't seem to have changed much at all!

Thanks to Mike.

The map link is well off the coast of africa 🙂
Thanks Chet, now fixed.
How about the street from Neighbours View Placemark
The Knots Landing Wikipedia article confirms that the post has the correct place.
Craig, we actually did a feature on Neighbours, Eldorado and Emmerdale late last year.
Christ you guys really are old 😉
I have heard of the show but never watched it. Im tripping though as I am 10 minutes from there. I was zooming out on the map and noticed thats practically in my backyard. Very cool.
Great site by the way, long time reader, first time poster.
That’s kind of neat… granted I was really young when that show was on (came out the year before I was born) but I remember my parents watching it… somewhat…
I’m proud to say I have no idea what this is all about 😀
One of my fav films ‘The ‘Burbs’ was shot in a similar cul de sac. Does anyone know where that is?
John Louis – The ‘Burbs cul de sac is actually on the Universal Studios back lot. You can see it if you go on the tram tour of the park in L.A. It’s the same street where they now shoot Desperate Housewives, and also where they shot The Munsters.
