Rewatching Dallas with a newbie

Michelle Stevens

'The Lovely Michelle'
So far in season 14 -

She also said Michelle was damn right to be mad that Bobby buried April in Paris without consulting her first.

Indeed!
And when De La Vega showed up, she had to take a break.
Has she seen I Dream Of Jeannie?

She hasn't. It was hard enough to get her to watch a few episodes of bewitched. But yeah, that might have softened the reaction to De La Vega.
To know that Barbara Eden and Larry Hagman acted together twenty-five years early would help explain why Eden was there and the Lee Ann Nelson reference later in the season.

In a way I'm more curious what someone who didn't know the Eden/Hagman connection would think of Lee Ann De La Vega.

Will let you know after a few more episodes, but De La Vega's first appearance made her demand a break!

She is furious about how Bobby dealt with Both April's kidnapping and her death, just as I predicted. She said he is a (her word) twat who couldn't be bothered to care that his real wife disappeared, but now he is wondering around Paris like a live sick loon. She also wants to know why a show named Dallas keeps going to Europe. She also said Michelle was damn right to be mad that Bobby buried April in Paris without consulting her first.

Says Callie is a fool for letting JR out of the sanitarium so cheap. Says it should have cost him millions.

Rose McKay is "ewwwwww."

Johnny is a buffoon.

JR is an idiot.

Vanessa isn't the kind of woman JR could be faithful to, no matter what he says.

James still needs to wipe his upper lip.

And when De La Vega showed up, she had to take a break.
sounds like she has this season at a solid 8/10 so far. Wait until things really get moving on the mad dash to the finale!

Has she said anything about the disappearance of Miss Ellie and Clayton?

Clayton does appear for a few episodes but Miss Ellie doesn't because Barbara Bel Geddes had rejected an offer of only four episodes to return this final season. I'm not surprised she told Lorimar where to stick their offer. You should tell her that's why Miss Ellie is missing in the shows final season. :)

She really hasn't mentioned it, although she does keep complaining about how the "original, good characters are gone."

I never saw Grimm. If she likes Dallas the earlier parts, then I think Falcon Crest is a great choice. It is the closest like Dallas IMO and was consistently good, I thought

I'd love to know what she thinks of both Dynasty and The Colby's.

Both are great in their own way but it's not my opinion I'm interested in.

She maybe should watch Dynasty next as that was Dallas's main rival.

However, it's entirely up to her what TV drama she wants to watch after Dallas. :)

Um... Deep dark secret. *I* have never watched Dynasty or the Colbys
