Dallas was a highly popular, long-running American primetime television soap opera that ran from 1978 to 1991.
It centered around the Ewing family, a wealthy Texas family in the oil and cattle-ranching businesses.
The show debuted in April 1978 as a five-part miniseries on the CBS network, then aired on that network for 13 seasons
from 1978 to 1991.
The show's central character is J.R. Ewing, who is a greedy, scheming oil baron played by Larry Hagman.
The series was a hybrid of Romeo and Juliet (Bobby Ewing and Pamela Barnes as star-crossed lovers
whose families were sworn enemies). The Dallas miniseries that started in April 1978 was shot entirely on location in Dallas, Texas.
Later, most interiors for the show were shot at the MGM studios in Hollywood.
Dallas was notable for its cliffhangers. Throughout the series run, every season ended with some sort of cliffhanging ending designed
to drive ratings up for the season premiere the following year. One of the most famous cliffhanger is no doubt "Who shot JR?"
It became one of the biggest TV events in history that over millions of people around the world discussed about the suspects.
It was at the time the highest rated television episode in US history.
Being a huge Dallas fan, I can 100% say Dallas is the best TV series I have ever seen so far. I started watching Dallas at the age of ten and I'm never tied of watching it again and again. Apart from a good and touching storyline, the best TV couple "Bobby and Pam" is the main reason to keep me staying with Dallas till now. With no doubt, Patrick Duffy and Victoria Principal have the amazing chemistry ever, so this website mainly focuses on my favorite couple "Bobby and Pam."
