[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 314923, member: 8"] Interesting comment about money vs. production values. If it's true that DALLAS had to do with a smaller budget than YELLOWSTONE then I think DALLAS actually did a better job, fake Southfork notwithstanding. They've done lots of beautiful outdoors scenes (or even complete episodes) and you know, a prairie is a prairie and a tree is a tree and there isn't anything in YELLOWSTONE that I haven't seen in DALLAS. And how about the spectacular scenery in THE YELLOW ROSE, that also happened in the 1980s. Of course the 80s soap genre was a lot about barging into/storming out of offices and mansions, sometimes entertainingly hindered by an evil staircase, and like I said Beautiful wide shots in wide screen isn't enough to make interesting drama. But what actually disturbs me about that article is that it took me a while to recollect the Who Shot J.D.? scene. There isn't much about this series that lingers on and unfortunately my two favourite characters didn't fare well in the story - one was killed off early on and the other one keeps disappearing in the background just when things start to get interesting. The cliff hanger is violent but not nearly as exciting as Angelica Nero's revenge or the explosion on Christopher Ewing's alternative energy rig or the execution of Drew Ramos or even the off-screen [I]fake[/I] execution of Emma Ryland.
