Dallas
A very popular nighttime soap opera that follows the wealthy Ewing family of Dallas, Texas.
The family’s oil business is run primarily by the sons of tough patriarch John Ross “Jock” (Jim Davis) — the immoral John Ross “J.R.” (Larry Hagman) and moral Robert “Bobby” (Patrick Duffy). Jock is married to strong matriarch Eleanor “Miss Ellie” (Barbara Bel Geddes) while J.R. is married to a former Miss Texas, the long-suffering Se Ellen (Linda Gray). In true Romeo and Juliet fashion, Bobby marries Pamela Barnes (Victoria Principal), sister to Cliff Barnes (Ken Kercheval), the Ewing’s biggest competitor.
Other characters include granddaughter Lucy (Charlene Tilton), Southfork Ranch foreman and Jock’s illegitimate son Ray Krebbs (Steve Kanaly), Ray’s wife Donna Culver (Susan Howard), and Miss Ellie’s second husband Clayton Farlow (Howard Keel).
