Why Falcon Crest might be annoying:

    It was CBS's attempt to ride the coattails of fellow prime time soap opera Dallas's success.
    It was initially titled 'The Vintage Years.'
    Wyman and recurring guest star Lana Turner filmed their scenes separately due to a long-standing feud between the two actresses.
    Like many soap operas, there was so much cast changeover.
    It also heavily relied on season ending cliffhangers and 'whodunit' murder plots.
    Its cancellation was due to falling ratings, outrageous plots, and the absence of Wyman due to health reasons.
    An attempt to revive the series in 2012 never came to fruition.

Why Falcon Crest might not be annoying:

    It starred Ronald Reagan's ex-wife!
    It was described as more glamorous than 'Dallas' but less outrageous than 'Dynasty.'
    Some stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood made guest appearances on the series.
    Its theme song was helmed by Oscar-winning composer Bill Conti, the man behind the 'Rocky' and 'Dynasty' theme songs.
    It inspired a Turkish adaptation in 2018.
