Judith is playing Mitch's mother? WTF?!

I decided that I would not tune into Dallas this season because it was such a collosal let down. That and I never liked seeing LH so frail. I hate to have to miss JL, but there is no way I'm going to watch that miscasted younger set! The casting is utterly disturbing!

Barbara Bel Geddes was less than 10 years older than Larry Hagman. Had this been 30 years ago this would have been a role for a Jane Wyman type, but we are so far removed from old Hollywood that by now there no longer are Jane Wyman types. The only name that is coming to be with no effort that would be age appropriate and right for the role is Angie Dickenson. There just aren't 75 year old actresses anymore like there used to be and if there are, they do comedies.

IMDB has Judith Light's birthdate as February 9, 1949 and Mitch Pileggi's birthdate as April 5, 1952, so a little over 3 years apart in age.

The closest in age parent/child casting that I can think of was on Y&R in the late 1980s when John O'Hurley (IMDB birthdate October 9, 1954) played father to Peter Barton (IMDB birthdate July 19, 1956).
