Do you have the opening titles to season 10?

Yes but they look a bit crap. Just an upscale with new title fonts.
Everyone's arguing!

....just another pleasant evening at Southfork! Oh Pam, its what drove this brilliant series. Does anyone else think Victoria got her timing wrong when Bobby met her?

Certainly Steve Forrest was a fantastic actor ... as was his brother Dana Andrews. But I never considered him a replacement for Jim Davis, the real Jock Ewing !Isn't Steve Forrest terrific as Wes Parmalee?
The new HD images are much better than the previous ones in the original version, although the cherry coloring now seems to uniform all the faces.

If only a wee bit more saturation...

That end credit Southfork picture is still the wrong one.
It's the offset image used in the earlier seasons.
It should be the image of Southfork directly in the middle of the screen.

Sorry but that looks bad. There is plenty of decent saturation on the original image. You'll see for yourself when these air on a TV screen.

Love the redone eleventh-season title card here, and the new font on the end titles!

Why would an older Southfork background be used in the end titles for the later seasons on this remaster?

Your guess is as good as mine. This mistake has already been done on season ten and by the looks of it it's been done on season eleven too.
Whoever is doing the remastering obviously hasn't checked the original episodes to ensure they keep the show as it was. A shame.

Actually, I have to admit that the off-center shot used for the closing credits thru mid-Season 7, I tend to prefer. When they switched to the centered shot, I thought it was a blah, unremarkable angle and I never warmed to it, so I don't really mind so much that they're using the original shot for the rest of the series' remastering. Even if it's by accident.
Yes, yes, I agree they shouldn't "sweeten" old classics years after the fact. (Unlike DYNASTY, which should be sweetened to the point of galloping diabetes. So there are exceptions I'm willing to make).

It's also on Season 12. I don't mind it. Reminds me of the early years!Your guess is as good as mine. This mistake has already been done on season ten and by the looks of it it's been done on season eleven too.

Great pics, thanks @Garry for them, and to all of you for your comments.
I wonder if they will correct the typo mistakes in credits of those latter seasons, like "Ian McSahne" (I think it was like that) in one season 12 episode, and "Jessica Montfort" in another one of the penultimate season.
PS: In Jenna´s pic I thought at first that they had replaced Shalane´s face with another girl´s, but not luck... That´s Marnie, the unsung hero of "Dallas" along with our very beloved Muriel!!

It took me a good few seconds to recall the scene. I was so thrown by the random character.
