Well, who watched the Dallas repeats. What, I want to know is was Monday nights show (in NYC area Ch. 9) the very first Dallas show. It seemed to start from nowhere. 1)Pam sure looks and acts alot classier now! 2)Ray was a real jerk, and friends with JR! 3)Bob was a pimp! 4)The original house was small and ugly, and JR had his own house next to the main house. 5)They gave all the characters accents 6)Ray had affairs with Pam and the 'little' high school girl! There was also no music over most of the dialog. Any other comments???

I looked at the Dallas repeats.
I was pretty disappointed overall (that's why I'm here flaming, and not at
home looking at the show). You're right, Pam (Victoria Principal) has sure
changed (due to her exercise plan, no doubt) and it was rough on the eyes to
see Bobby (Patrick Duffy) a wimp and Ray (Steve Kanaly) JR's pal. I didn't
realize that Miss Ellie (Barbara Bel Geddes) objected to Bobby's marriage
initially -- she always seemed to be the most reasonable of the Ewings. Final-
ly, the character of Lucy (Charlene Tilton) has changed quite a lot over the
years -- she was quite a slut back then but when's the last time you saw her
do anything slutty on the show?
However, it was *great* seeing Jock (Jim Davis) again!
I didn't look at Dallas until the fall of 1980 (after Who Shot J.R.) but it
was my impression that the show didn't get any attention until 1980.
According to my sister, who watched Dallas from the start, the show didn't
really get a lot of attention because it came on Saturday and Sunday nights,
and was up against competition (which was since disappeared). When Dallas
went to Friday nights (around 1980 I guess) it followed The Dukes of Hazzard
which had become a very popular show which helped to maintain its ratings
(plus the plot/storyline was much better after who shot J.R.).
Dallas has also not suffered because it is followed by Falcon Crest.
