Nominated for 15 Golden Globes and 18 Emmys in its 13-season
run, Dallas is one of the most memorable prime time dramatic
series in television history. Initially airing in Spring 1978
as a mini-series, the show had all the elements necessary for
a
blockbuster soap opera: sex, suspense, wealth, opulence, fast
cars, big houses, and of course, great villians. Probably the
most famous villian of the era was J.R. Ewing, but it's
difficult to call him the villian when most viewers
simultaneously rooted him on. With elaborate business dealings
and family feuds abundant, Dallas spend most of the 1980s as
either the number one or number two rated show on TV...
The Dallas (Season 4) DVD features a number of exciting
episodes including the season premiere “No More Mister Nice
Guy” in which the shooting of J.R. forces Bobby to temporarily
take over Ewing Oil while his older brother recovers. The
promotion slowly changes Bobby into the vindictive brother he
always loathed. Meanwhile, Sue Ellen wonders if she shot J.R.
herself while mired in the foggy haze of a drinking binge…
Other notable episodes include “Start the Revolution with Me”
in which J.R. attempts to orchestrate a counter-revolution in
order to regain the Ewing’s Asian oil wells that were
nationalized shortly before his shooting, and the season
finale
“Ewing-Gate” in which J.R.’s underhanded dealings in the Asian
oil deals threaten to bring down all of Ewing Oil…
