[QUOTE="DarkVader, post: 359227, member: 55893"] Newbie here. Hello to all my fellow Dallas fans. I have been a fan of the show beginning with the show's 3rd season. I had just turned 12. My parents had been watching it from the beginning but I had no interest then. I owned all of the DVDs but parted with them when I moved back to New York from Miami back in 2012. When I got wind of WB's new remastering of the series I felt it was time to revisit the series from the beginning. I'm currently up to Season 2, Episode 10: "Act of Love". The remasters are a thing of beauty. The show looks like it was shot yesterday, if not the day BEFORE yesterday. Kudos to Warners on doing such a great job preserving this series for future generations to come. In re-watching the show I have to come to appreciate a lot of the performances and character development more so now than when I did back then. One thing that came to mind was that up until this point in his career Larry Hagman was known for his role as Major Anthony Nelson on "I Dream of Jeannie", a role where he played the fumbling, put-upon "straight man" to Barbara Eden's antics as "Jeannie". There was really no indication (other than maybe his disagreeable character in the 1966 film, "The Group") that he could successfully pull of playing a character as devious and corrupt as "J.R. Ewing". It is truly a testament to his talent that he was able to do so and will forever be fondly remembered for playing these two very different characters on two iconic television shows. Over the years I have come to appreciate Linda Gray's portrayal of "Sue Ellen". When I was first viewing the show back in the 80s I really didn't warm up to her and perhaps I was just too young to really appreciate what she had to bring to the table, but I must say that she is really on top of her game. She went from being barely there in the first 5 episodes that were part of the mini-series to really sinking her teeth into what they gave her to play afterwards. A truly talented lady. I think everyone from that first original cast truly embodied their characters from the very beginning and the writing in the early years of the show was truly top notch. I am especially enjoying Victoria Principal's portrayal of "Pam" in these earlier episodes. Her character was so fiercely independent and spirited that is it's kind of sad to think how the character was changed moving forward. Sorry for the long-winded post. I hope to respectfully engage with you all in the near future. I am now off to view Season 2, Episode 10: "Act of Love". [/QUOTE]
