[QUOTE="LMLDallas78, post: 377318, member: 55682"] All respect to David Jacobs, he was a genius in creating Knots Landing and Dallas. Filerman was instrumental in naming Dallas when David was going to name it Houston and said, "but who wants to watch a show called Houston, call it Dallas". For that I respect Filerman, but not for how he slated Linda Gray in an interview and said he wouldn't have chosen her. I believe there were some behind the scenes politics going on, but his outspoken opinion was not called for. David Jacobs spoke highly of Linda and that's good enough for me. Filerman was proved wrong anyway. [/QUOTE]
