Flamingo Road is an American prime time soap opera that aired on NBC. It was first presented as a TV movie on May 12, 1980, and as a series on January 6, 1981, following a rebroadcast of the pilot on December 30, 1980. The show is based on the 1949 film starring Joan Crawford, which itself is adapted from the novel by Robert Wilder. Flamingo Road was developed to compete with CBS's Dallas and Knots Landing, nighttime dramas that were inspired by the long-standing tradition of daily afternoon soap operas on television. The character of Constance Weldon was ranked at #16 on E!'s list of The 50 Most Wicked Women in Primetime.
