There is no denying there were tensions behind the scenes between Philip Capice and Leonard Katzman, that's been noted in other forums both here and other websites. But what ever those differences were it brought out the best during seasons 1 to 8. After the debacle of the dream season, Phil is let go and Leonard returns as Executive Producer for seasons 10 to 14 with Larry Hagman sharing the role from season 12 to 14. If ever two people knew the backbone of Dallas and what made it tick was those two, yet clearly many of us thought seasons 11 to 14 were woeful.  All these years later there is a little bit of "poetic justice" in the failing years of Dallas. Larry (and others) believed he was the star of the show. Problem was other characters, so important to the storytelling and relevance to the character of JR became expendable due to that ego.</blockquote>
