[QUOTE="DallasFanForever, post: 335184, member: 13221"] This has always been a tough question for me because I love so many different seasons for so many different storylines and reasons. I’ve always thought that the absolute best season from a writing standpoint was season 5 (6 DVD). The battle for Ewing Oil, the aftermath of Jock’s will, Miss Ellie going to court and trying to break the will, the drama with Pam and Bobby ending up on opposite sides, the death of Rebecca, Pam leaving Southfork, Sue Ellen’s accident and Mickey’s sad fate, the Southfork fire, I will always say it was the best season of Dallas. But I’m also partial to season 6(7 DVD) because it’s the first season I can remember watching as a kid. As much as I love Bobby and Pam, their divorce was so well written and the aftermath of seeing them with other people while obviously still being so much in love with one another made for great drama. I loved the Lady Jessica storyline. It was so very un-Dallas at the time but great actors like BBG, Howard Keel and Alexis Smith somehow made it work. The surprise of Bobby being the one shot in the cliffhanger instead of J.R. was a reveal I will never forget. However, season 7 (8DVD) also holds a very special place for me.
