I was a big Dallas watcher when I was a kid, though I didn't know what was going on as a 7 year old when the show debuted in 1978. I must admit, I was not a rabid fan of the show as such a young age, When the shows began airing on Soapnet in the early 2000's I became hooked when everything of course made sense as an adult now. It was like discovering the show for the first time. I am still

Should you purchase the complete Dallas DVD set or buy the sets individually? Personally I purchased every one of these sets individually, had this complete set been available I could have saved a lot of Money. When I started buying these sets, I purchased the first 5 seasons all at once, then eventually every 6 month or so the next season would be released on DVD These sets when released

The Summer of Who Shot J.R. On the lighter side of the Who Shot J.R. Phenomenon was something from the Summer of 1980 that was everywhere, and perhaps over-saturated in the news. Could you imagine the hype of  Who Shot J.R. in the Twitter age? I was only 8 years old that summer, but my mother, who was a huge fan of the show was captivated by it.  I remember her and grandma constantly

Dallas is a TV show that aired on CBS from 1978-1991: This 30 year reunion with the cast at Southfork is wonderful in how it reflects the genuine love and affection the cast had and still have for each other. For me the filmed dinner sequence is the most revealing thing on the DVD. The cast are casual acting, and refreshingly off guard, letting their hair down as it were. The fact that Susan

Excitement ruled when a new Dallas series was announced: Rumors flew for years that there would be a motion picture based on the Dallas the TV series that ran on CBS from 1978-1991. Then as quickly as a new ideas for the project came, all the chatter stopped. People had wondered was it to be a drama or a comedy, would John Travolta be J.R.? Most fans were relieved when the show was not

With the passing of Larry Hagman (1931-2012) and the modest success of the new Dallas TNT series.  I was struck how J.R. once again stole the show. I can't understand why he never won an Emmy award for his portrayal of JR Ewing? I don't think any character outside of Carrol O'Conner's Archie Bunker, or James Gandolfini's Tony Soprano can match the complete immersion into the character that
