Got this from www.tvshowsondvd.com

Dallas: Season 6 will be out January 30, 2007

I for one hate the cover. They have so far stuck with having JR in the center or featured in 3-5 which is fine, but um why does Afton get the cover:

Miss Ellie hasn't even had one yet.

I digress.

The cover should have been the shot of J.R. and Bobby toasting the battle, with Jock's painting in the background, and then black and white shots of the car crash, the fire, the fight between J.R. and Ray, and Miss Ellie's breakdown. How is Afton on the damn cover?! What ddi she contribute to Dallas that season? This just tells you that whoever does the covers is NOT a Dallas fan.

Afton was great, but she was NEVER an important character. I'd argue that her brother Mitch was more important at least to Lucy's character. Afton was just your standard girlfriend for Cliff.

Miss Ellie, Donna and Ray all needed to be on the cover before her, but I doubt they will ever make it.

I wonder who will be on the covers for the later years (which I loved). I hope they put Cally, April and Michelle on them.

Season 12 is particularly delightful. I was all set to hate those later years, but being a fan of daytime soaps helped me out. Most people have problems with their favorite characters leaving, but like real life (and daytime) I'm used to that. So I watched for what it was and saw many great storylines and new characters.

I especially loved JR's long lost son, though the actor who cast him was terrible. The scene where he was revealed at the Oil Baron's Ball was brilliant. That was one of my favorite episodes of Dallas.

I hope they don't put cally on the cover, I hated that dumb biotch. :lol: April I didn't like either, but I wouldn't be bothered by her being on the cover. Is michelle aprils sister, and if so she killed susan lucci's character on dallas, I definantly want her on the cover. She was the only nuChick that would of fitted in well with the divas from the early years.

I loved Afton but as you said she was never important.

I'm currently watching season 14 for the very first time and boy, the mighty have fallen. The show was totally unreckognizable during its final days. I liked the Paris episode with Susan Lucci but after that the whole show fell flat.

As for the later seasons in general. IMO, the show got a major boost by killing Pam. I LOVED season 11 and season 12 was not too shabby either. But the increasing importance of Carter McKay and that ludicrous story of JR in nowhere (and jail) marked the end of the beginning. They rebounded from time to time but never had a full recovery. Miss Ellie's exit was it for me, personally.

I loved Afton ... but she is out of place on the cover. IMO, the cover would look at least a little better with say, Sue Ellen or Miss Ellie (who has yet to grace a cover, except for the family portrait) or even Cliff. And the cover would still look better if Pam's face wasn't half cut off. That's very distracting.

But other than that ... I'm thrilled... Can't wait for Season 6!

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
