My mom was watching dvds of Dallas a couple of months ago and when she saw the last episode, I thought she'd go nuts! Apparently they've only put out dvds for the first couple of seasons.

I watched a few minutes of one and don't get it. What's the attraction? It must be a chick thing.

Well, there is a lot of romance, so that might be what turned you off. But there are also powerful men who have beautiful women and tons of money and high testosterone levels. There are fights, fancy cars, etc.

There is definitely a male appeal to Dallas if you give it a chance.

Can anyone tell me which building JR's office was in, in Dallas? Was it the old Mary Kay building off of Stemmons and Regal Row or was it the old FINA building in Campbell Center at 75 and Caurth Haven?

Here's the only information I could find:

The Ewing Oil building was first in the Renaissance Tower. Later, Ewing Oil moved to a building called Fountain Place. In the TV movies, it was in the Bank of America Plaza.

I was able to verify that those are all actual skyscrapers in Dallas. Otherwise, I only have two sources for that information and it was word-for-word the same at both places like one copied it from the other.

Can any fan of the show who's familiar with Dallas verify this information?

Most of the Dallas cast must be dead by now, aren't they? That's a pretty ancient show. I know my mother was pretty young when it was on.

To answer your questions...

NO MOST of the DALLAS crew are very much alive...

Don't take JazzLover too seriously. He likes to lighten things up around here with (sometimes slightly twisted) jokes.

WARNING! Spoiler ahead!!! - If you plan to watch Dallas in the future and don't want to spoil the most exciting thing to happen on the entire series, skip the rest of this post!!!

SPOILER - SPOILER - SPOILER

After a long wait during an actor's strike, it was finally revealed that Kristin Shepard (played by actress Mary Crosby) had shot J.R. on the fourth episode of the fourth season. The episode's title was, "Who Done It?"

In case you've forgotten, Kristen was J.R.'s wife's sister who was one of many trollips having affairs with J.R.

Among numerous other reasons, Kristen shot him when he refused to leave his wife for Kristen even though Kristen was pregnant with J.R.'s baby.

END OF SPOILER

To those who don't remember the show or maybe only caught later eps...I ENCOURAGE you to start from the beginning...because starting with the middle of season 1....when Sue Ellen gets pregnant with John Ross...Dallas became a continuing drama...it really made the transition from episodic television to being serialized during seaon 2 (1979/80 season that is now known as season 3 on DVD)

Dallas was really more a MAN show...once you watch you'll see what I mean.

btw I am a member of Ultimate Dallas...which is the Official website for Dallas...and I LURVE to discuss this show so keep the comments coming please.

In another attempt to cash in on the popularity of hit TV shows from the past, TNT will be offering new episodes of the 1980s hit, "Dallas" sometime during the Summer of 2012. Unlike most "remakes" where they update the show with an all new cast, Larry Hagman will return as J.R. Ewing along with Patrick Duffy as Bobby Ewing!

There will be some new cast members. After all, grown up children and new grandchildren will have to be added, but TNT promises that the Ewings will be just as willing to do just about anything to enrich themselves just like fans remember from the 80s!

You've made me so very happy! I can't wait to see Bobby and J.R. again! I bet this one will be a big success!
