KNOTS LANDING: Season 1 (1979-80) Finale (Gary goes to AA)

These are the final minutes to “Bottom of the Bottle Part 2”, the first season finale for the 1979-93 CBS drama “Knots Landing”, a spin-off of the popular 1978-91 drama “Dallas”. This was the 13th and final episode of the first season (13th overall). This episode originally aired Thursday, March 27, 1980.
Gary Ewing (Ted Shackelford) was promoted to vice president of Knots Landing Motors, selling cars for his neighbor and boss, Sid Fairgate (Don Murray). Gary's alcoholism resurfaces after he celebrates his promotion at Knots Landing Motors, which worries his wife Valene (Joan Van Ark). His drinking evidently landed him in the drunk ward at the hospital where he was treated for alcoholism. Gary escaped from the hospital and returned home, only to be told off by Valene. Gary went to a bar, but instead of taking another drink, he tries to call Valene who had gone to AA. Gary evidentially returned to the hospital and goes to his first AA meeting.

The best gift Gary gave himself was being Sober and facing his Alcoholism. He can get out of Self-Pity and he no longer has Jock or J.R. to blame for his being a failure.

I wish I could find this series. I know Dynasty is on Pluto. Dallas is on Freevee. Knots Landing and Dynasty (the original and one and only) was my favorite soaps.
