Overview
Title: Dallas (DVD) Review
Summary: Dallas, a hallmark of prime-time drama, seamlessly blends the intrigue of afternoon soap operas with the thrilling adventures of Texas oil barons. From its beginnings as a 1978 mini-series, it captivated audiences with its mix of business, romance, and Texas-sized drama. With 18 Emmy and 15 Golden Globe nominations, Dallas was a staple of TV history, highlighted by the iconic "Who shot J.R.?" episode.
Introduction
Dallas made its debut in 1978 as a five-part mini-series, quickly winning over audiences. The show's mix of business intrigue and scandalous affairs appealed to both men and women, prompting CBS to make it a prime-time regular. It became one of the most successful shows in television history, consistently ranking at the top of the Nielsen ratings throughout the 1980s.
Plot and Characters
Originally, creator David Jacobs envisioned a series centered on Pam Barnes (Victoria Principal), a young woman from a modest background who marries into the wealthy Ewing family. However, producers soon realized that the charismatic and conniving J.R. Ewing (Larry Hagman) was the heart of the show. As president of Ewing Oil, J.R. aims to dominate the oil industry by any means necessary, clashing with rivals like Cliff Barnes (Ken Kercheval) and tormenting his own family.
The show also explores the lives of other key characters, such as J.R.'s wife Sue Ellen (Linda Gray), who struggles with alcoholism, and Southfork Ranch foreman Ray Krebs (Steve Kanaly). The rich storytelling offers viewers everything from money and power struggles to romance and betrayal.
