[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 281841, member: 5079"] No, they really didn't. I increasingly view DALLAS as a one-trick pony. It did the one trick [I]extremely[/I] well, but that was its only trick. When the show focused on the core Ewing family, but more specifically the interactions with Ewing Oil & the feud, the show clicked. Anything peripheral to that central story, or attempts at expanding or adding to it, generally didn't work. That main story sustained a surprisingly long time, lasting a good 6 to 7 seasons, but after that it was just endless repetition. I suspect if the producers had any inkling DALLAS would last 14-ish seasons, they would have expanded the ensemble from the beginning; with younger Ewings and maybe even more on the Barnes side. As is, the last few seasons are basically just a couple of old men sniping at each other. [/QUOTE]
