you can watch doctor who for free on tubi as well but i prefer watching my dvd's of the show and my bluray's as well. but that's got me thinking as some on here has said spending money on 6 different services for me it just to damn expensive. it's cheaper just to buy it than to pay for them all each month. but you folks are so right when you don't see some tv shows on tv no longer or even on streaming. some shows like law & order you can find pretty easy like SVU but i still want them all on dvd. plus no ads on my dvd's either, i can see Dallas not being free anymore on IMDB at some point. has there been any word when or if it's coming to bluray yet?

That is true, but the streamers seem to want it cheaper for them, and more expensive for you, and this is why I worry about them pushing streaming.

My favourite Cliff and J.R. scene is when Cliff seems to have beaten J.R. in Season 5 DVD, when J.R. goes to Cliff for an extension on the loans for stockpiling the Farlows' crude oil. Cliff's remark of "I've finally defeated the great J.R. Ewing" and Cliff's laugh, and then the angry look on J.R.'s face as he turns round for the freeze frame at the end of the episode. I was thinking "If you don't get him here Cliff, he's going to get you badly".

Oh @garry this is freakin' awesome. The anticipation on an announcement from Warner Bros as to a streaming or Blu-Ray release date must be so tantalizing close. Question though. Is it possible the conversion has an effect on the music score? I have a set of Logitech surround sound speakers connected to my computer and I have to say it sounds brilliant.
Thank you

Since Dallas was one of the biggest series in the world and never afraid to be progressive in it's story-telling I believe as an African American actress portraying a positive business woman would have had a positive effect. Or better yet just some random simple scenes of Dora Mae and JR sitting down enjoying conversation and last dinner drinks when he was having marriage problems with Sue Ellen and had decided to stay in town overnight. Nothing sexual between them of course...just two adults enjoying conversation and JR taking time out from his myriad of problems.

When Diahann Carroll was shopping herself around to the nighttime soaps in 1984, she said one of the producers of one of the programs told her, "We'll never have a black character on this show." presumably meaning of any significance.
Do the math.

Well, that's nothing but a blatantly racist statement.
I hope it was no one from either Dallas or Dynasty.

Well, obviously it wasn't DYNASTY -- they hired her!

In Dallas, we had those two black characters in the first Barbecue episode. When Dallas was airing, I believe a quarter of the population in the city of Dallas, Texas, was black, and that wasn't reflected in the slightest way in the Dallas series. The black percentage of the population was higher then than it is today, because of the increase in the Hispanic population of Texas in recent times. Dallas did tend to focus predominantly on the richer areas of the city, of course.Well, obviously it wasn't DYNASTY -- they hired her!

I seem to remember (or maybe I don´t?) a quote from Leonard Katzman (from where, I don´t know...) saying that the reason because men from "Dallas" were sexist and women trophy wives, was because that´s the way it was in the 80s. I´m sure he had a similar reasoning about people of other races. The point is, since when was "Dallas" meant to be a "realistic" story? It had to be believable, but not realistic. Lorimar didn´t "do" realism, by the way, aside from "The Waltons".
So here we are again with Mr. Katzman´s tendency to say one thing and do another, like when he said that the Dream Season followed the fashions and themes of "Dynasty", and then we have the post-Dream seasons with women wearing impossible headpieces, silver lamé gowns and other wacky things. And then the whole WestStar storyline from Season 11 was taken out of "Dynasty"... including an Alexis-fied Sue Ellen, who at least had the decency to learn about business with an expert like Nick Pearce, something that Alexis never did...
"Oh I watched this on a Dynasty episode
and had it copied...!"

It's certainly possible that they've remastered or cleaned up the soundtrack as well. Which would make sense if you're remastering the original picture quality to high definition. It would be fabulous if so.
You wouldn't upgrade the visuals of a show and not at least try to clean up the original mono soundtrack.
