Message: <blockquote data-quote="Spooky Owl!" data-source="post: 67116" data-attributes="member: 57984">For me, there were multiple places the show de-railed, although I stuck with it until the bitter end (I figured it I could stick with DYNASTY and this mess it quickly became, I could certainly stay with DALLAS).Donna Reed was the first crack in the show's veneer that something was wrong behind the camera. The dream season was clearly thrown together by different writers with a smugly-'80s PC orientation, but the wiping away of all of it with the dream resolution destroyed the show's reputation permanently. But the first year with Patrick back was otherwise terrific. Victoria's first year gone still felt like classic DALLAS, but the pacing was way off, her exit bungled. The last three seasons just kind of spun pointless seriocomic stuff; there were plotlines with potential, but nearly all of them were mishandled.The reunion movies felt like the final years of the show: too "funny". And the TNT nuDALLAS of 2012-2014 had much potential, too, but didn't have a clue as to what it wanted to be.<img src="http://images.vanityfair.it/Storage/Assets/Crops/243363/8/38991/serie-tv-dallas_650x435.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
