[QUOTE="Mustard, post: 431429, member: 46"] I've heard that, during the 1987 negotiations, Victoria only wanted to do an extra year if she was going to continue on, but the brass insisted on two more years. So that was that. Even those negotiations seemed to be done in a rush, because Victoria said "I'm leaving at the end of this season, and I told you two years ago". Victoria has always said that Dallas peaked in its first 5 years or so, and then started declining. In the US, the tradition seems to be to milk a series until there is nothing left, not like many other countries where they often try to go out on a creative high if possible, like Fawlty Towers in the UK was a famous comedy that only did 12 episodes, when they could have done 100 where it becomes a shadow of its former self by the end. Let's be honest, Dallas botched itself towards the end. Knots Landing ended perfectly. [/QUOTE]
