30 years anniversary

It's anniversary week!

On December 4, 1981 our favorite TV show premiered on CBS. So, it's time we celebrate!

I'd like to toast to all the fans, who are still helping keeping our memories of Falcon Crest alive. You're the best.

And for sure a thank you to all the people who made the show, who made us laugh and cry for so many years. They all have a special place in our hearts.
