It's weird seeing the Paramount TV logo at the end of the credits.  Isn't DALLAS owned by Warner Bros. today?

Also, I've always wondered whether Production Coordinator Andy Ackerman is the same Andy Ackerman who directed episodes of "Cheers," "Seinfeld" and other sitcoms.

I was watching a 1980 episode of Dallas and noticed Leah Marcus was a writer at the time. That was during Dallas heyday. I wonder when she left because she returns in 1986 after the dream season and the writers from the previous season were fired. Although I didn't think the script writing from the dream season wasn't that bad.

The writing from the "dream season" wasn't bad, but from the viewpoint of people like Leonard Katzman and Larry Hagman, it wasn't DALLAS.  They saw DALLAS as strictly a male-driven show, and that just wasn't the kind of work that Peter Dunne and Joel Feigenbaum were strong in or known for.

Oh, wow!  Thanks, @irishguy1985!

Also of note: Chuck Ranberg and Anne Flett-Giordano, who worked for years on "Kate & Allie" and "Frasier," started out as production secretaries at Lorimar, working on DALLAS and KL.  I've always wanted to ask AFG, whom I follow on Twitter, and who follows me back, about their time there, but I'm much too chicken about doing so, lol.
