Fitting advertisement there as Larry wore the worst toupé on television. 

 

A reminder of just how huge Dallas was in the UK at this time:

Larry also appears in this, with mother Mary Martin, around two hours and six minutes. He sings a JR-themed song while on his own.

Larry Hagman song seems like a take on My Favorite Things from The Sound of Music. His mother played Maria in the original Broadway production.

Thank you for posting that. Who was the man being interviewed? 

 

 

Victoria was heartbreaking during Bobby's death. The scene where he flatlines in the hospital you can also see the soul drain out of Pam. 

Principal could often be uneven in her acting. There are times should would knock it out of the ballpark and there were times she was coasting into Susan Lucci territory.

When Dallas started in 1978 Principal was stunning to look at with her long flowing hair and figure. Sometime in the early 80's after her break up with Andy Gibb she started with the the unnecessary cosmetic surgery and often had bad hairstyles and dye jobs with her Jhirmack endorsement deal.

A genuine, fair assessment of Principal's acting.

Wasn't it rumored that Victoria Principal missing episodes in 1986 was due to cosmetic surgery? She was 36 in 1986 so I don't think she would have a face lift that early. We all know her second husband was a plastic surgeon so she had access to the best surgery and skin care.

She also did something to herself a little bit earlier than that. She really started to look wonky around the time of J.R. & Sue Ellen's remarriage/wedding. 

1978:    1982:

What are some of you favorite storylines or scenes from the early years of the show ? 

Some of mine are:

Lucy takes off on her birthday and is picked up by Willie (played by Greg Evigan) in his custom van complete with shag carpet and 8 track. It was cheesy fun and screams late 70's. About a week after this episode aired Evigan would debut in his own series B.J. & The Bear on NBC. 

Jock's heart attack. Pam catches a half lit Sue Ellen playing lady of the manor on the stairs and confronts her. Miss Ellie walks in as Sue Ellen tells Pam she plans to take over and throw her out.

Bobby & J.R.'s plane goes down and the family tries to keep the news from Jock. Sue Ellen starts hitting the sauce and tells Pam she thinks she's a gold digger. Pam slaps the piss out of Sue Ellen knocking her to the floor. This may be one of the first bitch slaps on a soap. 

Lucy & Kit are engaged and Kit confesses to Bobby he is gay and wants to break the engagement. Bobby discusses it with J.R. who already knows all about Kit's past. He argues with Bobby that Lucy should still marry him despite the fact.

Sue Ellen is drunk falls down the stairs and Lucy is high on pills hovering over her. Ray comes in and tries to handle the situation.
