[QUOTE="Toni, post: 340543, member: 82"] 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...
