Here is a parody of the opening credits. Imho it is amusing. The two Ellies are there; Jock, Clayton, Sue Ellen with her token bottle and guess what even Charlie Wade features c/w a photo of Brad Pitt.




Jock, Ray and Donna are having morning coffee, in the Southfork dining room. Ellie soon joins them and a marital tiff erupts, (a scene from season 3, DVD-4, 1980 – ‘81):

Ray says to Jock: “About Bobby. According to JR he is on the senate committee that is going to decide about Takapa.”

Jock: “Well now that is one vote we can count on.”

Ellie joins them and says: “Do you really think so little of Bobby?”

Jock: “I think he is smart enough to understand good business, when he sees it, that’s for sure.”

Ellie: “Is that what you call it? I call it ravaging the land, for profit.”

Ray looks at a dejected Jock and then gives his $0.02 worth: “Miss Ellie I understand how you feel about this. But we are not going to ravage the land. We just want to turn a swamp into something useful. Something that people might benefit by.”

Ellie retaliates: “A swamp! When you were a ranch foreman you had a very high regard for the land. It was very special to you. All you used to care about was the best price for cattle feed. But since you have become a Ewing your values seemed to have changed, along with your knowledge. You are now an expert on knowing what is best for people!”

Jock intervenes: “Damn it woman, get off a Ray’s back! Since this whole thing started you haven’t been fit to live with and I am not putting up with it, anymore. I’m going to Dallas!”

Ellie: “Jock if that’s the way you feel, when you get to Dallas stay there!”

Jock leaves the room, while saying: “That’s just exactly what I am gonna do!”

The parody mentioned above is really funny, but I have a question about a parody in the anthology series Dr. Death. In Episode 4 of Season 1, the main character—Dr. Duntsch, aka Dr. Death, played by Joshua Jackson—moves to Dallas; the accompanying musical montage and editing are clearly a parody of the opening title sequence of Dallas. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find that clip on YouTube or similar sites so far. Does anyone happen to have a link to it?

Yes, but not for this.

That's the problem with funny queens: they're not really funny, and they just want to make a weird facial expression while wearing a dress.
I actually thought the impersonations of the male characters were the funniest.

Dedicated @Monzo. I finally found it. Thanks for keeping informed about the Dallas homages. I don´t know if it will blocked to you, but in theory you can watch it following this link:

Sorry but I tried. It´s been immediately blocked... :rolleyes::fp:

But voilà!!

That’s great that you got to watch it, Toni—though the excitement for you probably didn't quite match the thrill of celebrating Spain's World Cup victory day and night!

I liked that they didn't just reuse the theme song for Dr. Death (by the way the Spanish subtitle Dr. Muerte sounds more thrilling) but created a new arrangement instead. The opening sequence gave me more of a Cynthia Cidre vibe. It’s actually surprising that—considering how many years old Dr. Death is by now—no one has uploaded that sequence to YouTube.

Actually they used the TNT text font for the title! So now TNT Dallas is being homaged too! The world is coming to an end!

Although soccer is a big part of Spanish culture, I (as many friends of mine too, or even my late father) have no interest in sports (no matter how short men´s pants are). I am a cinephile and series devourer... but I´m happy if others enjoy them, of course.
