The scandals in Dallas with J R Ewing as he would say nobody double crosses JR,Sue Ellen on the bottle,he hated Pam Bobby,s Wife,and Cliff Barnes his revival

The stupidest thing about "Dallas" was when Patrick Duffy, who played Bobby, left the show, they killed off his character. So, of course, the storyline for the next season or two was based on the premise that Bobby was dead. And then when Patrick Duffy returned to the show, how did they bring back Bobby??? They decided that Pam was only having a bad dream about Bobby dying!

My Mum was a big fan of Dallas, but she thought it was stupid how they brought Bobby back & didn't watch it so much afterwards.

Re: American Programmes 70s-90s

lol that's exactly how Terry Wogan would refer to it on his radio show at the time. He also used to call Charlene Tilton's Lucy character in Dallas the poison dwarf.
