Their perception was the Dallas was a "soap opera" that exploited sexual content for ratings. This was not really fair, because there was alot of  excellent acting and issues that were tastefully handled. The media probably just focused on the affairs and the backstabbing storylines, which fueled this perception. Mr.Hagman deserved an Emmy for his portrayal, as did Mr. Kercheval, Ms. Bel Geddes, and Ms. Grey. Other actors in the show had great moments as well. The writers, directors, and camera people deserved acknowledgment as well.  I'm sure the Emmy's are rife with behind the scenes politics, favors, and shenanigans.   As we know, in life real talent and achievement is often overlook, just as in the news, the really important stories are the ones that don't make the headlines.</blockquote>
