Yes they couldn't have replaced Larry Hagman as jr. He was jr. Hands down and also Patrick Duffy was Bobby these two couldn't be replaced with any other actors but Larry Hagman and Patrick Duffy Patrick Duffy was so gorgeous wasn't he omg had such a crush on him
It's really hard to describe the feeling of sitting down on Friday nights at 9pm and hearing the theme song back then -- But the show is back, and I have the same the feeling when I watch "Dallas" on TNT and that music starts! "Dallas" forever!
Shows just aren't the same without real introductions like this... I'd have a sense of pride if I were on a show where it showed my picture, with my name at every beginning and a song everyone would remember.
Even though DALLAS went down hill by this point, it is still one of my favorite television shows of all time! It had many great years on the air and stories and acting were still better than a lot of other shows.
Yeah, the infamous dream season didn't help the show much. I think the beginning of the end was the 88-89 season. The final season was a strange one I thought. Falcon Crest was also going down hill its final season (also 1990). Even with the final seasons of both Dallas and Falcon Crest, both shows made Friday nights very enjoyable. I also loved watching Knots Landing on Thursdays and to some extent Dynasty on Wednesday nights. I miss these shows. I remember the few crossover episodes between Dallas and Knots Landing, with the latter being a spin-off of Dallas. Imagine what would happen if JR Ewing were to meet up with Angela Chaning!
In your response to Dallas, I was born in 1978, as a kid I remember on Friday night's bedtime was when Dallas started. You can get the entire series at best buy man. I did at it's great quality.
The original airdates of ",Dallas," indicate that it is nearly 30 years to the day that the television show left the airwaves. They had the 2012-2014 remake. However, it was hard to beat the original, as they do not make them like these anymore.
Erm... the screen wasn't split into three??? That was the best thing about it. I watched so much Dallas in my childhood that I now think of life itself in triple image.
While I liked the 3-way split, nothing wrong with freshening the intro up a little. By this time I had more problems with the lack of family feel, to many new cast members and dull stories.
*_great series..........(In Brazil, Dallas had its first seven seasons shown by TV Rede Globo during the 80's and, in 1989, the series was transferred to TV Bandeirantes, being shown until 1992_*
Looking back, I can understand why people in Houston were so bitter about this show in the 1970s, 80s and early 90s being called Dallas. The show flaunted the oil industry with oil derricks and offshore oil rigs....that's totally Houston's bag, their economy, their specialty. But Hollywood made a show about this and called it "Dallas" instead of "Houston"....which was the real oil town. I have a feeling the Cowboys winning all those Super Bowls is what made Dallas more appealing to make a TV show about.
I think the Perfect End would have been after Jeremy Wendell's arrest for financing the Range War. And Cally Crashing Dinner to announce Her wedding to JR hahahaha
Actually before you pick on people, I am 27 and I clearly remember Dallas from my childhood to teens! They repeated it for so so so many years.... all 14 series..... I used to watch it weekly with my Daddy.
friday night at 9 on CBS will never be this good again. after this show jumped the shark it came all the way down to be a lot better than anything else
Little did we know Patrick duffy and Sasha Mitchell would work together again, and transition to comedy, through a sitcom called Step by Step. As for Sheree j. Wilson, this isn't the last CBS show set in Dallas. Wilson would be back on CBS, and back in Dallas, co-starring with Chuck Norris on Walker Texas Ranger.
@@sherryhannah498 watched an episode of the CW reboot of Walker. I'll admit Padalecki can kick ass as Walker, but IMO, no one can hold a candle to Chuck Norris.
??? Your teen times would have just been 4 or 5 years ago. This series owned the 1980s. That's like me, a mid-30s bloke; saying that i remember I Love Lucy in my teens.
The final episode on May 3, 1991 marks the end of the series' run where J.R. Ewing (Larry Hagman) where the cliffhanger was never resolved until 1996, with the first Dallas made-for-TV-movie reunion, "Dallas: J.R. Returns." It was later revealed that J.R. had not shot himself, but had instead shot at the mirror where the spirit "Adam" (Joel Grey) was appearing to him. However, when the revival series began in 2012, J.R. was still alive.
In high school I lived about 10 minutes from South Fork Ranch. That last shot of the house is so funny! It doesn’t sit on a large piece of land way off the road. They used camera trickery and a wide focus lens to create that illusion. You could stand at the fence and easily throw an object to hit the house. It’s also not that big.
Hahaha... I used to watch this when I was a kid. It was aired at high noon in Indonesia before the stupid TV station removed it to midnight!!! Love Dallas... and I like Pamela dan Bobby very much. I always thought that they were the soul of Dallas.
If Larry had never turned to alcohol (1983 and beyond...) - he'd still be dominating this show. When he was a 'cad' and irritated the livin' hell out of you....the show was so far above anything broadcasted, it was almost worthy of Oscars. He improvised and knew when to smile as the camera panned-off...but when you're trashed day-in and day-out...unfortunately, you lose your grip.
he isn't wrong. the miniseries started on april of 1978 and was renewed for its second season (1978-79), so the show lasted for 13 or 14 seasons depending on whether you count the miniseries as the first season
It's a shame to see how built up it is around Southfork now. They did a good job disguising it and making it still look like it was way out in the country in the reboot.
Season Twelve's Version three credits I think are the best one, because it seemed more exiting and plus if you listen closely to the melody it repeats slightly.
April (Sheree J. Wilson) was Bobby's girlfriend when I started watching. I remember how horrified I was when she died on their honeymoon! Me, traumatized and in JUNIOR HIGH.
I'm writing that my name is Josh and i would like it if Warner Bros. studios was to make all 356 episodes from all 14 seasons of DALLAS available to stream on their streaming service MAX in January 2025.
Yes, this sequence was made using digital video effects rather than film opticals, and it looks so much less classy - the way the "Dallas" title caption zooms in and out is particularly nasty. Note how they use shots of explosions to try and make it seem more dramatic too.
This is the intro to the final season. April died in the final season and Sherree J Wilson remained in the credits. April died whilst JR was in the looney bin
What made no sense at all was why they kept Sheree J. Wilson on the credits after her character was killed off early in the final season. Never understood why they did that.
Ok I stopped watching Dallas in the 80s and just relized that Sasha Mitchell was on for two seasons. If you didn't know he was also on the show Step by Step with Patrick Duffy.
They don't make theme songs like this anymore. Shoot they don't make theme songs much at all. Theme songs used to be classic. Dallas, Dynasty, Knots Landing, Star Trek, Love Boat just to name some o the most memorable. People would giddy when they heard em
To Larry Hagman, hands down one of the best TV villians ever! R.I.P Larry you were the best!
Yes they couldn't have replaced Larry Hagman as jr. He was jr. Hands down and also Patrick Duffy was Bobby these two couldn't be replaced with any other actors but Larry Hagman and Patrick Duffy Patrick Duffy was so gorgeous wasn't he omg had such a crush on him
The best
Lived in Ft Worth too
JR Ewing was a hero.
This intro did a really good job of evolving along with TV trends. This screams 1991 the way the original screamed 1978. Genuinely impressive.
It was the drums, certain instruments gave it that early 90s sound.
@@gdi9320 and the change to a bass guitar.
The original was better. That's why they went back to the original style in the 2012 show.
This was me and my grandma’s show back in the day…great memories❤️
The last season of Dallas was the worst season ever. The original female cast members were gone and the storylines were terrible.
My grandma also loved this show. I just remember the opening credits, usually this was my cue to go to bed.
RIP Larry Hagman. Thank you for giving us a bastard we all loved hating
It's really hard to describe the feeling of sitting down on Friday nights at 9pm and hearing the theme song back then -- But the show is back, and I have the same the feeling when I watch "Dallas" on TNT and that music starts! "Dallas" forever!

I love Dallas my favorite show back in 80

Facts
The greed of the 90’s led to more advertising and less time for opening themes
It wasnt a Friday night without Dallas on--- way back.

True.

Rip Larrry Hagman. The greatest actor of all time
I was amazed to discover he was "Master" Tony Nelson before this!
Agreed
Oh yes I second that.
Bedtime was the same for me too, but if I was good at the bowling alley my parents would let me stay up and watch it with them. LOL.
Even though DALLAS went down hill by this point, it is still one of my favorite television shows of all time! It had many great years on the air and stories and acting were still better than a lot of other shows.

Amazing that it lasted 13 years! Very few series make it that long.
14 years it lasted
@@timconnors9744 well, 13 full seasons plus the 5 episode miniseries, later renamed season 1.
@@TheEwing69 makes sense. Awesome series too
I'm 19 years old, but this series brings me great memories of my teen times
The good old days
Patrick Duffy, and Sasha Mitchell reunited in "Step by Step" with Suzan Smmers
On both shows they played nephew and uncle to each other
This was a great change to the "Dallas" theme song... I love the update! Such a great theme song!
yep, best version.
This intro is terrible.
This is the best version of the song I've found on UA-cam.

there's hardly any memorable theme songs like this nowadays...
I miss the TV Show Dallas. I'm glad they are remaking the show. If they do, I will still be a Cowboys fan for life! Respect the Star!
RIP Larry Hagman, Ken Kecheval, Howard Keel, Jim Davis and Barbara Bel Geddess
We forgot Ken Kercheval dead.
And George Kennedy

Loved this show as a teen!
My bedtime when was this came on. This intro song put me to sleep for a number of nights....great stuff hearing it again.
Wir lieben Dallas. Spannung, Intrigen, Liebe und ein großartiger Larry Hagman als J.R 👍👍👍👍
Larry Hagman was one BEAUTIFUL man!! R.I.P
CanadiAnnie , many ladies have said that.
CanadiAnnie he was why’d he have to be the villain?????????!!!!!!!

Ahh shatup
love the piano bit when they show JR in the montage
Love the signature track !!! Super !!! Pure musical genius !!! Sets the tone perfectly !!!
Rip Barbara Bel Geddes ( Miss Ellie) the best 😍 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
I never knew Sasha Mitchell was on Dallas, and to think he and Patrick Duffy would go to do step by step.
And to think Patrick Duffy is from Montana as well When I moved to Montana August 1991 I found that out
I think he lives there in montana
Great show but should have ended around year 8 or 9!!!
agreed
Yea When Pam explained that stupid dream..XD
I agree! After Pam and Donna left the show went into the dumper.
I think the Perfect End would have been after Jeremy Wendell's arrest for financing the Range War. And Cally Crashing Dinner to announce Her wedding to JR hahahaha
This is the theme for Season 14. The Last Season
Actually before you pick on people, I am 27 and I clearly remember Dallas from my childhood to teens! They repeated it for so so so many years.... all 14 series..... I used to watch it weekly with my Daddy.
Greatest TV show ever. Sure miss it
friday night at 9 on CBS will never be this good again. after this show jumped the shark it came all the way down to be a lot better than anything else
Rest in peace Larry Hagman, you are with God now.
Amen. In a way he was like JR as in being a drinker but unlike JR he loved the fans
Larry was a good human
Best Show Ever !

Scoop Nemeth Walker has been rebooted Jared Padalecki who was on Supernatural plays Walker I hope you will reply to this

R.I.P Larry!
Knowing that Pam was dead at this point makes it even sadder to watch this season.
No one knew she was dead until the dreadful 2012 TNT revival when she was oficially killed off
She died in June 1989, but no one, except Cliff knew it. The family (and fans) found out in 2012
i love how half of the cast weren't barely on the episodes this season and on the last one... one of them was even dead for A YEAR
Loved Bobby. He was So Handsome! Love the theme to this show.
They should rerun this show again
There's no Dallas without Larry Hagman.
Redo it all as a historical documentary with direct real life parallel events to the show.
I can't believe I never realized it with my eye for detail but you're right. It aired from April 2, 1978-May 3, 1991.
The final episode on May 3, 1991 marks the end of the series' run where J.R. Ewing (Larry Hagman) where the cliffhanger was never resolved until 1996, with the first Dallas made-for-TV-movie reunion, "Dallas: J.R. Returns."

However, when the revival series began in 2012, J.R. was still alive.
A end of a era
r.i.p JR EWING...
Barbara Stock previously appeared in the 1981/82 season. She played a character named Heather, with whom J.R had a brief association.
Patrick was such A handsome handsome looking man back then 2 this PRESENT Day 2024 he still is A HANDSOME looking Man 👌💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️👍💋
From South Africa ! JR the fox of the show.
"Dallas" is the greatest TV network drama in history.
In high school I lived about 10 minutes from South Fork Ranch. That last shot of the house is so funny! It doesn’t sit on a large piece of land way off the road. They used camera trickery and a wide focus lens to create that illusion. You could stand at the fence and easily throw an object to hit the house. It’s also not that big.
Barbara Stock managed to go from end credit status in the last season, to opening credit status in this. She's only been on the show five minutes.
Bobby.....still my Dream lover ❤❤❤❤❤
Hahaha... I used to watch this when I was a kid. It was aired at high noon in Indonesia before the stupid TV station removed it to midnight!!! Love Dallas... and I like Pamela dan Bobby very much. I always thought that they were the soul of Dallas.
Way better music than the new show theme.
Eu adorava Dallas!
j'adddoorrre ce generique et la serie DALLAS je la connais par coeur ,elle est genial !
U. Definitely. Have a lot more fans up there. And. DALLAS. Is way bigger up there 😇😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏
I like this version more than the original (though I never really watched it since I was too young to follow it).
"In CBS StereoSound... where availaible"
My highschool prom was there too!
Cathy Podewell always looked blind.
Renegades and Rangers both 2023 champions from Dallas baby! Greatest city in the world
JR was my favorite character. Who could he tick off next? :)
Larry Hagman played him to a T. We all love and miss you, Larry!

Great times

I did like the money dress that Michele was wearing this season..XD

If you want steady work, guess it pays to work for Lorimar then =P Thanks for the info.
Season Twelve's Version three credits I think are the best one, because it seemed more exiting and plus if you listen closely to the melody it repeats slightly.
The Ewing Family was in the oil business and Dallas thrives in the oil industry.
o meu seriado preferido Dallas eu amei saudade
If it's the final, the 1990-1991 season, it's not the season 13 but the season 14!

1:03 I hope I look as good as Ken Kercheval when I’m that age 👏👏👏
I told you that I don't lie remember everything in life
Poor April 😞
What made no sense at all was why they kept Sheree J. Wilson on the credits after her character was killed off early in the final season.
Never understood why they did that.
Sheree J. Wilson went on to star in another Texas drama. Walker!!
Also set in and around Dallas.
At least Kimberly foster gave us some nice eyecandy.
Sheree J Wilson and Charlene Tilton, Victoria Principal and all the women JR and Bobby had were good looking
great times
R.I.P Larry Hagman always will be JR Ewing
