Dallas – 20 Years Later

12 Jun

English: Larry Hagman attending the "Nigh...

Dallas is a show I loved.  Unfortunately, I never got to watch it the way I wanted to.  I watched it at the beginning (1978), I was almost a teenager.  Then hanging out took over, and VCRs weren’t really popular or available (or affordable) back then.  Getting married, having kids, the hubby would watch it occasionally.  But, it wasn’t his thing.  So even with two televisions, we stayed in one room watching one television.  So, I only got to watch it when he wasn’t around.  I kept up with it through Soap Opera Digest, and other ways, but by then I guess I just accepted it.  When I’d visit people who had Soap Opera Network, I’d watch it when I could.  I recently watched some episodes on TNT.  That was fun.

Anyway, I am SO looking forward to tomorrow when Dallas returns!  I have loved Larry Hagman since I watched I Dream of Jeannie repeats.  Patrick Duffy was so hot back then!  Linda Gray played a great alky.  So bring it on!  DVR is already programmed, even though I’ll watch it live.  Can’t wait to see  John Ross Jr. and Christopher go at it.  I’m sure I’ll hate little JR, because I know he’ll throw the “You’re the adopted kid, you’re not even a real Ewing!”  Being adopted and having had someone say something similar, I’ll be yelling to Christopher to shoot the bastard and bury him under the oil wells.  What?  There has to be oil wells, it’s Dallas!

I’ll miss Jock and Miss Ellie and Pam.  BUT, according to Wikipedia, Charlene Tilton (Lucy), Ken Kercheval (Cliff) and Steve Kanaly (Ray) are recurring.  So YAY!

Are you going to watch?  Who was/are your favorite characters?
