[QUOTE="Bobby Southworth, post: 344655, member: 4960"] Has anyone ever thought about what order the actors would be billed in had Dallas not been done in alphabetical order? If it were like Falcon Crest or Dynasty, what order do you think the actors would have been billed in? Just for fun, I've come up with my idea for the opening credits for the first four seasons had they gone by billing. This actually is not an easy task, so I'd appreciate any debate as to my choices. Season 1: Victoria Principal Patrick Duffy Larry Hagman Barbara Bel Geddes Jim Davis Charlene Tilton I went with the idea of Victoria first as I've heard the idea was to originally do away with Bobby after the first five episodes, and the show did start with centering around Romeo and Juliette. Season 2: Victoria Principal Patrick Duffy Larry Hagman Linda Gray Barbara Bel Geddes Jim Davis Charlene Tilton Steve Kanaly Season 3: Victoria Principal Patrick Duffy Larry Hagman Linda Gray Ken Kercheval Barbara Bel Geddes Jim Davis Charlene Tilton Steve Kanaly Season 4: Larry Hagman Patrick Duffy Linda Gray Ken Kercheval Barbara Bel Geddes Jim Davis Steve Kanaly Charlene Tilton And starring Victoria Principal as Pam As I said, this was no easy task. The show seemed to start focusing on Larry and Linda rather early on, but it was "Who Shot JR" that truly changed the dynamic. I figure by season 4, with Ray finding out he's a Ewing, he would get a slight bump up in the credits. It wasn't easy to figure where to place Barbara Bel Geddes, as she had probably the biggest credentials, but I tried to base it more on who was focused on the most. [/QUOTE]
