Re: Dallas

I was a huge fan right up until they asked us to believe an entire series was Pam's dream. As a loyal viewer, I felt a bit cheated.

Re: Dallas

I used to love Dallas as a nipper, I remember getting a I Love JR badge.I also bought a single of the Dallas theme, the other side was The Waltons. Come to think of it I probably still have it.

Re: Dallas

I was a bit young for it, but I remember my Mum rushing to put me to bed & telling me a story until she could hear the theme tune (very iconic along with the 3 way split screen).

She gave up watching after the infamous "shower - it was all a dream" scene.

Same here I was a big fan,
I think they ran out of ideas,the early days were the best,

I also loved to watch Knots Landing Gary Ewing and his wife Valene

Re: Dallas

I was totally hooked on this series.
I absolutely loved Cliff Barnes and was always desperate for him to get one over on J.R!

Re: Dallas

Dallas!

CBS on sky are repeating the ENTIRE series of the original Dallas. Loving it.

Tonights episode was hilarious! Lucy had her birthday party and Sue Ellen chose the music, which annoyed her, Pam chose her frocks and this upset her, J.R. and Jock decided to use the party to knock two influential types-a politician and a businessman-for the up-coming Senate seat and prevent Cliff Barnes from getting into Congress-which also upset Lucy...The only thing our pint-sized dwarf wanted was for Valeene to turn up which Jock and J.R. didn't want...so what did Lucy do?



She ran away!

Lucy then stole J.R.s Mercedes - Benz and his wallet....Basically, she ended up being taken hostage on the road by a drifting psycho in his Hot Wheels custom Dodge Van!

Bobby went after her and eventually tracked her down with the Cops who surrounded a bar, there was a stand off and eventually Bobby decks the psycho!

News reaches Miss Ellie et all that 'they'll be comin' home tomorrow!'

Jock then muses he 'never got to dance with ma Gran' Daugta'

Miss Ellie then says, 'Well, you can dance with her tomorrow...!'

Pam looks on a tad moved by Jock and Ellies affection for one another....

Oddly, it seems its a nice period in the tumultous marriage J.R. and Sue Ellen too...


I kid you not..that WAS the plot....My Mum used to bemoan how naff Dallas got by the later 80s/90s, and watching the earlier episodes it has a totally different feel to it....Less sleaze and sex. Refreshing really...I expect the new series will do extremely well, but without the original cast as young as they once were, it won't really be the same will it....?

More Dallas all this week at 11pm on CBS Drama. Beats watching the 1980s MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE on CBS Action any day. And Linda Gray is really hot.

Re: Dallas

My Mum and Dad found Cliff played by Ken Kerchaval (his name did it for them and they used to make fun of it) really funny in a 'isn't he unattractive and stupid' kind of way so I never could take him seriously. I also remember it was Terry Wogan who coined the nickname 'The Poison Dwarf'...He also made Dallas popular in the UK when he used to chat about it the morning after on his radio show-best observation of his was about the ONE single phone the Southfork Ranch seemed to have, all that money he'd say and they all go to answer the phone in the hallway!

Its on again tonight, CBS DRAMA 11pm, watch that, then bed. Also, I saw a 'lookalike' pic on the net of Jock.....and a Mystic from The Dark Crystal, was well funny.

Re: Dallas

The Dallas theme was my signal to get to bed, so I never got to see it in its heyday.

Re: Dallas

Tonights ep had Cliffs senate campaign ruined by Jock and J.R....the weirdest bit was when Jock thanks Miss Ellie for supper - yeah, as if she MADE it with all the servants in the ranch!
