[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 329634, member: 5079"] Questions like this tend to trigger my pedantic side. What is meant by "greatest" -- The highest quality? The most successful? The broadest impact? Regardless, if the question had stopped at "Greatest American Soap", I think DALLAS would be a clear winner; but then there's not really [I]that [/I]much competition. I'm sure some would argue that KNOTS LANDING was a higher quality show, but its had pretty much zero cultural impact in the years since. The competition for Greatest Drama series is much tougher and at that point it's impossible to overlook how badly DALLAS sullied itself in its later seasons. I think if it had ended before the Dream Season, its reputation would be much stronger. So my very firm answer is "Maybe". [/QUOTE]
