Born in '72, the 1980's most definitely the best time I will have in my lifetime. Great music, great TV shows, great Mall arcades and stores...everything was awesome!! 😪
The Stockyards are still thriving as a tourist attraction (and working stockyards with cattle auctions and weekly rodeo shows!) If you're ever in the Dallas area, the Ft. Worth Stockyards are a must-see! We didn't go there in this video, but just around the corner is Billy Bob's Texas, the world's largest honkey tonk. That's where Jenna works in season 7, so we're looking forward to visiting that location on our next visit to DFW.
Nice!! It’s such a great show, so entertaining! I don’t remember watching it much as a kid, but that theme song is an unforgettable memory of my childhood in the 80’s. 🎶

I love it when you guys do film location videos! Y'all always do a fantastic job at not only showing the locations but you make it entertaining and informative. Great stuff!
Another brilliant video! We love watching them from England. We’re still on our marathon Dallas lockdown watch- up to season 8 now! Keep up the great work guys- you must have put a lot of work into researching the locations. We can’t wait for the next Dallas location instalment! 👏🏻
Thank you so much Stephen! Watching Dallas has been our favorite quarantine activity as well! We had so much fun trying to figure out these locations. You guys are just ahead of us. We are currently watching season 7. Of course, we watch each episode multiple times, pausing and rewinding trying to figure out where we'll be going next, ha! We filmed locations for seasons 5-6 on this last trip, so those videos will be coming soon! We appreciate your kind words, and we're glad to hear you're enjoying our videos. All the best, Abby & Keith
@@Our80sLife it’s addictive isn’t it! It’s been the one show to get us through this pandemic over here! Very much looking forward to your next videos- fascinating to see the real locations. Keep up the great work and thanks from your British fans! 👍 🇬🇧
Awesome tour guys! I was a little young for Dallas, but remember my parents watching it every week. Fun to see how the places have changed over the years....looks like it was cold in Dallas for your tour!
Same here. We were too young to watch, but we’re really enjoying Dallas as grownups, ha ha! Yes, it was pretty chilly while we were there, but it seems warm compared to the winter blast we’re having now. Thanks for watching 😊
I loved Ray and Donna together. They really added a moral fiber to the show as an anchor couple that made it through their problems. Hated that they visited them up. I liked Jack and Jenna as a couple. Gosh, TV will never be that good again. Love that the White Elephant didn’t change. As Ellie Ewing said, “can’t some things be as they’ve always been? Does everything have to change?”
I have to disagree with you on one thing. Sue Ellen woke up in her Mercury Station Wagon at DFW terminal B, which was named 2W in 1980. It was the Braniff terminal and the beginning of the shot you see a redish plane (727) land. That was a Braniff International Airways plane. That terminal still looks the same there is not a parking garage there now or then. Sorry you got it wrong, Dallas native here. If you can go back to DFW and go to terminal B. It still looks the same. In 1980, Terminal E was Terminal 4E. Otherwise this is a great video. Love your videos.
Thanks for watching our videos Casey! I'm also a Dallas native; although, we currently live in Kansas. In preparation for this video, I spent WAY too many hours watching Dallas and studying Google Maps, ha! Anyway, I still contend it's Terminal E based on the proximity (and location) of the highway, which can be seen on the left of the shot (west of the terminal in question) however, I'm sure you're right about the terminal with the Braniff airplane flying over. In fact, we see that same airplane shot used over an over again throughout the series, in basically every establishing airport shot, lol! Here's what I'm thinking: the scene contains two different shots of two different terminals (both B and E.) The airplane landing (terminal B) followed by Sue Ellen waking up (in front of terminal E, on the north end.) Gotta love that TV magic! They also filmed some at Love Field (season 5.) You'll definitely recognize it; although, it sure has changed! Glad you're enjoying our Dallas series.
Thanks for watching! We didn't want to give out addresses for private residences in the video. Here you go: Ray Krebbs: 3900 McCreary Road (near Southfork) Cliff Barnes' apartment: 9223 Chimney Sweet Lane (season 1) Sue Ellen's townhouse: 4101 Emerson Ave.
Great video, guys! You really work hard for your videos! I liked Dallas, but I was more of a Dynasty fan. I'd love to see you guys do something from Dynasty. It goes along with the Decadent theme too (for the cruise).
Thanks Bonnie! We've actually never watched Dynasty, but Keith says there's no way he's getting sucked into another soap opera, lol!! I might have to check it out though... once we finish all 14 seasons of Dallas, eek! We're currently watching season 7. We're sure thankful for on-demand TV so we can binge-watch. Those cliffhangers were brutal back in the day!
@@Our80sLife Wow, I loved it. I recommend the 80s one though. I hear the new one is not the same/not as good. Maybe I should watch Dallas again! I didn't watch it all, just around the time of JR being shot.
I love what you guys have done with filming locations. I've been to Southfork multiple times. and really enjoy going there. I have often wondered if they filmed Kristin in the pool at SF or on the soundstage in California. I can usually tell when they are on the soundstage, but I'm not sure for that one.
Thanks so much Tom! We love visiting Southfork as well, such an iconic and beautiful place! We’re guessing that scene was likely filmed on the soundstage, but it was well done so it’s a bit hard to tell. I bet that wasn’t even Mary Crosby in the actual scene… gotta love that movie magic! 🎬
As a 10 year old kid I remember staying at the Sheraton by the galleria with my dad…swimming in the pool and sitting in the hot tub being off to the side…right where JR sat in his wheel chair talking to Ray. It was a very nice hotel then and if I remember correctly you could swim under a glass wall when in the pool to go from the interior to exterior of the pool. It was around 1987-88 when I was there. It’s a shame what that pool area looks like now
That's cool! Yes, your memory is correct about the wall you could swim under to get to the exterior portion of the pool based on what others have told us. We've never stayed there but it still seems like a nice hotel. Thanks for stopping by our channel and sharing your memories Jeff!
Was this the Season that Pam goes to Port Aransas to supervise a modeling shoot for The Store? I remember the models running down the dock, with the boats etc. I don't know if you visited there, and I don't know for sure if the show actually filmed there. Maybe it was filmed at an entirely different location but made to look like the Port Aransas, Mustang Island area?
We remember that episode, but it was likely filmed in California. Each season, filming would take place in the Dallas area over the summer months, then move to California for the remainder of the season. So, the first dozen or so episodes would be Dallas locations and the rest were in California. If the models were on a dock with boats (and it was later in the season, which I believe it was) I'm sure it was in California. There was mention of Port Aransas in several episodes throughout the series, but as far as we know they never actually filmed there. Thanks for watching our video!
3:32. Was the name of the road McEwen named after the Ewings or did their last name come from the street name? Maybe neither, but sure would be.a coincidence. Too bad all of the changes in the settings were for the worse and not for the better. I really like how the pool was on the interior instead of outside.
It's nearby but not on the same property. Ray's house is in a nearby neighborhood, but you have to drive to get there... not walking distance, as the TV show implied.
@@jamesshielssoberlife.3701 No, actually there were many scenes filmed outside at Ray’s house over several seasons (before he built his new house which was used beginning in season 10.)
ok, i just remember interior shots, it be great if you could do a video about rays house because i cant remember exterior shots! I am going to Dallas tomorrow, but i just missed my flight so i am trying again. Best regards!@@Our80sLife
@@jamesshielssoberlife.3701 We don’t have a video that’s exclusive to Ray’s house, but we did show some THEN & NOW images in this video beginning at 7:12 - hope that helps! But as we mentioned in the video, it’s been remodeled and looks very different now. Enjoy your trip!
yes, watching it on tv it really seemed like his house was way in the boonies on a country road. Prob was more remote in 1980 and sucks how it looks now with the development
I knew the people who owned the Krebs house out in Parker. I think it was McQueery lane or something like that but it was all country with hardly any other houses around. The owners daughter attended my church. She invited us out to watch them film an episode during the 4th season. They got paid well and got to keep some freebies like a fence, some lawn furniture and new gravel for the drive. South fork wasn't that far away, just a bit west. All the roads around there then (early 80s) were just two lane blacktop or gravel.
That's amazing!! It's crazy how much that area has grown and changed all around Southfork. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your memories. You're so lucky to have watched the filming back then, eek!
Nice! Dallas is such a fun city. We hope you get to go there! We also recommend nearby Fort Worth. We’ve been vacationing at the historic Stockyards this week and having a blast! Have fun 🤠
@@Our80sLife I want to move to Texas, I love Texas very much, I watched the Dallas series as a child, I live in Moscow, but I don’t watch Russian TV, I watch American TV, I love America very much, I wanted to come to the USA, but I didn’t have the opportunity as a child, I want to see you if the opportunity arises, I love watching your channel, it is very kind and positive, I like everything related to you
This reminds me of when I flew to Los Angeles and went to all the places involved in that infamous OJ killing. Now, most of those places have closed, shutdown, or demolished.
Interesting! Yep, that's kind of how it goes. But then it's exciting to find a few places that haven't changed or some remnants of the past. Thanks for watching!

It is!! The owners have added an entire wing and moved the location of the garage, so it looks completely different now... almost unrecognizable!
Google Earth imagery shows that changes on the house have been made after 2008. At that time also the street got a double lane.
Is Ray's house at the back of Southfork Ranch?
