if there was a new "Knots Landing"
If there was a new KL (and i'm not putting down the original), it would be a reboot and with a different cast (please don't shoot me, just hear me out). I was looking at the old KL episodes on my PC and I wonderd what the cast makeup would be like and here's what I can think of, Yes I will add some color to this list and if I left out a few characters I'm sorry but I'm just naming off people who factored in major storylines and such: (I'll Bet Tyler Perry will have a FIELD DAY with this show)
