In retrospect, it was kind of silly to see someone like Angelica Nero in rough-and-tumble Texas.  But, DYNASTY had overtaken DALLAS in the ratings, and so Philip Capice decided to inject more glamour into DALLAS.

You know, J.R. was always hung up on who was a real Ewing and who wasn't, but I always thought the perfect storyline for him would have been for him to discover he wasn't a Ewing after all.  Of course, such a story wouldn't have been entirely believable - for one, Miss Ellie never would've cheated on Jock - but I wonder how J.R. might have dealt with such a revelation.

That plot twist would have been too daytime for my tastes.

JR being obsessed with who was a real Ewing was interesting. The NY Times, I think, did a story on Dallas when the revival first started. And they mentioned how weird the Ewings were in the original series - so worried about those who were “outsiders” or “not our kind of people” - like anyone would want to hang out in the dark ranch house and be stuck living with the Ewings.

    • Coming into June and...   TRASH. Or as I like to say for moments like this...HUNNI, WHAT IS THIS?   Outside of seeing Traci come home...and then...Ashley...not a darn thing is going on. So they are clearing stalling now, aren't they? It really hit me during the Phyllis/Daniel scenes. It was feeling like a B&B scene where two characters have the same repetitive conversation. And I have not seen Phyllis/Daniel scenes in that light lately so yeeeeah NOPE.   I did like the touch of Traci arrived outside of the Abbott mansion door and taking a breath and looking around. Very aftereffects of Martin. And I liked her and Diane having their conversation about Martin. I wished JG had allowed Traci to stay in town to deal with her feelings about Martin so at least we are getting some follow-up on that.    And same with Ashley and her talk with Jack. I will take Eileen Davidson anyway I can get her. Dare I say...will she be around for the Dumas reveal?   Outside of...   Kyle, Claire, and Harrison in a park IS NOT a storyline.   Sharon having to use the phrases (and in text) with Nick dinner as friends IS NOT a storyline.   Giggly Heffa giggly-heffa-ing around town IS NOT a storyline.    With Damian MIA and my love of Eileen Davidson...I might just go on break until the Dumas reveal if this is how we are starting June. 
    • Dragging this quote over from the Texas thread just because it shows a reference to Bay City as a fictional location at least as early as 1981. It doesn't quote Gail Kobe as saying it directly but the point she is making about the Houston setting of Texas does seem to take it for granted that Bay City is not real.
    • It's too bad they couldn't get access to the old music cues from the 80s and 90s, to run with the flashbacks or in the current scenes. That would have added a lot. Imagine if they had played the old Roman and Marlena theme.
    • Wonder if any of the Beyond the Gates people were asked. Admittedly, the show hasn't been on long enough for any of those actors to get much interest.

    • Interesting promo, @DRW50. I'm fascinated by CBS This Morning having on ABC stars. I wonder if they had any interest in reaching out to the NBC soaps.
