What Is The Greatest Storyline in KL History?

The more I think about it, the more I realize that Season 6 was probably the best of the entire series and pretty much every single storyline was amazing and showed a series at the height of its quality. And I think I might have to say that the entire Baldwin/Hartman romance and all its repercussions might be my all time fave story on the show. I've been watching the clip of Cathy singing "Jehovah" while Joshua sits and glares at her in the corner and thinking of what amazing television this was.

So, if you could only pick one storyline from the whole show, what would it be and why?

Abby: "Olivia, something terrible has happened."

Olivia: "What, did you run out of eye makeup?"

I like the episode where the women visit the haunted house. Or how about the one where the men have to fight the motorcycle gang?

Nah, just kidding. Those were terrible.

I liked the character of CJ Dunn by Lisa Hartman but when she came aback as Cathy Geary I hated that character, she became whiney and annoying and tried to take Ben away from Val after Val had been so good to her. I was glad to see the back of Cathy Geary.

It's hard to pick one story line but anything that had MAC in it was always good. I also loved Frank Williams and loved it when he broke into Jill's apartment and said he would "snap her scrawny neck off her body" or something to that effect in the Jill/Val/Gary storyline when his daughter Julie fell off the saddle that Jill cut at Gary's ranch.

I'm watching re-runs but missed a lot of seasons as I had problems changing cable provider. Anyway anything involving Abby was great. I liked the Olivia drug episodes, Peter Hollister(?) plot with sister Jill then later the Poor Val, Poor Jill dramas. I also like Frank Williams family, especially when they first arrived and the McKenzie's wondering who they were. Right now they're running Amanda's rape story and it's weird how blaming victims, like what did the WOMAN do to bring this on herself attitude is still prevalent today, even 26 years later.
I hope they run KL again once this end so I can pick out more storylines.

Off topic - how amazing was the 80's fashion back then???!
