Bobby Ewing, underwear

I think Dallas is a Patrick Duffy show, he's everywhere with this black thick thing on his big head and his expressionless eyes(he's good-looking but...) ... I'm sure he has negociated to have a fight in a bar per season, with stuntmen waiting to receive his fits...
And there are scenes where he didn't wear underwear, how was it possible that no one say something?

When I first saw this I thought hmm....no, not sure what you're on about, but thinking about it you could be onto something.
I was recently watching some early episodes with said Bobby in some cream trousers and I've never noticed before but it did appear that his lower regions were, shall I say, swinging in the breeze.

I'll be keen to observe more now.

Bobby certainly did like his bar brawls and hardly ever lost. Because he was a "goody goody" I reckon he wanted to look tough.

at first glance at the thread title I was thinking it would be about a novelty "Bobby Ewing Underwear" product from the show's heyday, ala JR Beer. Or maybe something more legit like Bjorn Borg underwear, which I thought was a novelty thing when I first saw it - another star of the time period with fantastic hair.


Some provocative summaries/previews from the links above:

(JR Beer rates a 2.3 out of 5?! Preposterous!!)

(buy your underpants *for* Bjorn? Intriguing!)

Yeah, I wondered if there was a scrapped storyline of Bobby as Sue Ellen's Valentine Boy. Something like that happened in the soap Sons & Daughters - a truckie becomes an overnight success in the world of fashionable pants & jumpers.

Sorry to hear he didn't meet your high standards.

swinging in the breeze.
Well, I guess that’s better than singing in the rain.

Nah, I think I’m good




Who wants to look at Bobby's nether regions, I'm more interested in Peter Richards! :)
I must be psychic cause do you know when I saw this thread I actually predicted you making this post?

I had to look this one up and was surprised I had never heard of it before. I guess it makes sense. With all that movement on the tennis court I can see wearing the right underwear being very important.

Bobby Valentine sure does have a nice ring to it, although there was another famous Bobby Valentine in Texas around this same time so it might’ve caused problems for Sue Ellen’s marketing department.




You can't say you don't see
No, but I can say I’m sorry I do

I don't understand the point of this thread. Otherwise, perhaps Duffy was wearing very baggy boxers. I don't think this matters much ...
No it doesn't matter much, but at least it's a new topic for a conversation.

Could well be the fit of his trousers, I prefer the fit of these swimming trunks. He certainly was a pin up boy.
