TV show description:
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). Daddy Jock is married to strong matriarch Eleanor “Miss Ellie” (Barbara Bel Geddes) while son J.R. is married to a former Miss Texas, the long-suffering Sue Ellen (Linda Gray).
In true Romeo and Juliet fashion, son Bobby falls in love with and marries Pamela Barnes (Victoria Principal), sister to the Ewing’s biggest competitor, Cliff Barnes (Ken Kercheval).
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).

Is there any petition for getting the soap network to bring back dallas?
SOAP NETWORK STARTED FROM THE 1ST SEASON JUST LAST SUMMER THEN ABRUPTLY ENDED!!! WHY? BEFORE THIS THE LAST EPISODE WAS WITH JOEL GRAY, A 2 PARTER, IS THAT HOW THE SERIES ENDED? MISS DALLAS, HAD HOPED THE MOVIE WOULD HAVE BEEN MADE. =(
Apparently VP was going to appear in the final episode in 1991, if it was guaranteed it was the final final ever episode of the series, but Katzman couldn’t, so she didn’t appear. The writing was on the wall, so they cancelled it on the very last scene. Anyway’s Victoria Principal would have only been part of JR’s fantasy if he never existed, but still it would have been great to see her seeing as Linda Grey, Steve Kanaly, Mary Crosby, Ted Shackleford and Joan Van Ark made guest comebacks.
WHERE can we watch DALLAS ??
A channel needs to be established to air 1980′s Primetime Shows, i.e….
– DALLAS
– Falcon Crest
– Dynasty
– Colby’s
– Fantasy Island
– The Love Boat
– Remington Steele
– T.J. Hooker
– Riptide
– Matt Houston
– Etc…
