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.
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.
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!
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_*
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
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.
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
??? 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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
Just asking…from 1978 to 1991, this show ran. The opening montage never changed a whole lot. It has always, though, shown the late Texas Stadium(Dallas Cowboys). Did the Ewings or anyone else for that matter ever go to a football game there?
There were a number of scenes filmed in the stadium over the years; the one that sticks in my mind is a meeting between JR and another tycoon in the Ewing family box, though I couldn't tell you which season or episode. If you watched the 2010s series revival, the final scene of the first episode actually takes place in the new Cowboys/AT&T Stadium, with the main characters actually standing on the Cowboys logo at the 50 yard line. And there was an episode that was partially filmed at an actual game where JR is shown as a "special" guest on the big screens over the field [and gets a show-of-respect gesture from Dez Bryant, a Cowboy at the time].
during Dallas's "Spin-off" Knots landing Don Murray was kept in the credits until his character Sid Fargate died during the third season and then he was removed, why didn't Dallas do the same and Why is Howard Keel still in the credits? His character only made a few appearances and he should have been listed as special guest star during the credits and Do NOT get me started on Susan Lucci
I think by this time, $$ was such an issue, the didn't want to spend $$ to make new credits, see your point though. $$ was why Barbara Bel Geddes quit in the summer of 1990, they refused her raise request.
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.
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!
One of the all time great tv shows.
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.
I love Dallas my favorite show back in 80
RIP Larry Hagman. Thank you for giving us a bastard we all loved hating
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.
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.

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.
I'm 19 years old, but this series brings me great memories of my teen times

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
The good old days
This is the best version of the song I've found on UA-cam.
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!
there's hardly any memorable theme songs like this nowadays...
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.
Patrick Duffy, and Sasha Mitchell reunited in "Step by Step" with Suzan Smmers
On both shows they played nephew and uncle to each other

love the piano bit when they show JR in the montage
My bedtime when was this came on. This intro song put me to sleep for a number of nights....great stuff hearing it again.
RIP Larry Hagman, Ken Kecheval, Howard Keel, Jim Davis and Barbara Bel Geddess
We forgot Ken Kercheval dead.
And George Kennedy
Larry Hagman was one BEAUTIFUL man!! R.I.P
CanadiAnnie , many ladies have said that.

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
Best Show Ever !
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.
R.I.P Larry!
Barbara Stock previously appeared in the 1981/82 season. She played a character named Heather, with whom J.R had a brief association.
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
??? 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.
Rip Barbara Bel Geddes ( Miss Ellie) the best 😍 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
Wir lieben Dallas. Spannung, Intrigen, Liebe und ein großartiger Larry Hagman als J.R 👍👍👍👍
Eu adorava Dallas!
This is the theme for Season 14. The Last Season
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 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
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
Loved Bobby. He was So Handsome! Love the theme to this show.
From South Africa ! JR the fox of the show.
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.
r.i.p JR EWING...

o meu seriado preferido Dallas eu amei saudade
My highschool prom was there too!
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
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.

Cathy Podewell always looked blind.
If it's the final, the 1990-1991 season, it's not the season 13 but the season 14!
Was Howard Lakin related to Christine Lakin of "Step by Step"?
U. Definitely. Have a lot more fans up there. And. DALLAS. Is way bigger up there 😇😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏

If you want steady work, guess it pays to work for Lorimar then =P Thanks for the info.
JR was my favorite character. Who could he tick off next? :)

Any chance Sasha Mitchell got his gig on Step by Step because of his knowing Patrick Duffy or was that just coincidence?
It sounds like a Star Trek song. It sounds so good.
