    I watched this show last year in its entirety and i'm doing again this year. I'm at season 8 this 2nd time around. This show never gets old. I love how JR is sticking it to Cliff, or "that nitwit Barnes" as he used to put it everytime and Barnes never learns his lesson.
    RIP Mr Hagman, your role on Dallas is legendary even 40+ years later. The man everyone loves to hate.
    On the show he was a real SOB but in real life he was totally opposite, a loving and caring personality.
    The most vile, evil, defying act JR pulled ( none of his other deeds holds a candle to it, NONE) was when he sent Pam island-hopping in the Carribbean looking for Mark just to keep her away from Bobby so that they wouldnt get back together again. When she came charging into his office after having found out, that was her best performance on the show.
    On another note, Dallas had the best writing for a tv show of its time (and still is 40+ years on) along with a slight touch of comedy ( JR putting Cliff in his place were iconic scenes) and lot of drama.
    RIP David Jacobs the creator of the best iconic tv show that stood the test of time brilliantly. Dallas had it all:
    Best writing, best directing,best actors, glamour, lavish life styles, best of everything.

The writing was all over the place the last season, taking it away from the main characters too much. Had it stayed more focused on the Ewings and less on the secondary characters and the Mexican cartel perhaps people would have stayed tuned in.

    Michele and Donna never did Dallas, even though Donna played a Ewing herself. However, apart from Gary and Valene, Michele’s character ‘Karen’, is the only other character from Knots Landing to have been referenced in Dallas.
    Another interesting note is that between Dallas and Knots Landing, the Ewing family were portrayed across 27 seasons, two mini series, a prequel tele-movie, two sequel tele-movies, and a 3 season reboot, from 1978-2014.

I am disappointed though that they abandoned Wes Parmalee and the Chance to bring back Jock Ewing. Clayton Farlow was ok, but he was No Jock Ewing. I didn't remember the Wes Parmalee episodes when I was a child. But as an adult I enjoyed the premise that Jock Ewing survived the helicopter crash with plastic surgery etc. I was very disappointed that fans didn't go for it.
