I'm watching a 1978 western movie with Jim Davis called Comes a Horseman. The hilarious part is Jason Robards plays a character named J.W. Ewing. That can't be a coincidence lol

I watched this movie a few times since becoming aware Jim Davis starred. The movie was based on an original script. In January 1977 it was announced Jane Fonda and James Caan would play the leads. The movie itself wasn't released until October 1978...6 months after Dallas first aired. I was curious to know if David Jacobs might have had something to do with Comes a Horseman however research states he didn't. I am amused though the surname Ewing popped up. When Jim became involved with Dallas he might have performed a double take.

I'm sampling an old series from the late 50s called Rescue 8, where Jim Davis was Wes Cameron, a fireman w/the L.A. County Fire Department (on fictional Rescue Squad 8), and Lang Jeffries as his partner Skip Johnson. This episode is "Danger! 20,000 Volts" (OAD Tues. Dec. 16, 1958 in syndication)...

Yeah there is because I can remember bringing their website up.
It's a heating oil company if I remember right.

I've just ordered a copy of the movie off eBay.
Looking forward to it coming. It comes with a magazine about the movie with it.

Yeah, I haven't seen many films which have featured Jim Davis so thought I'd get myself a copy of this one.

And BTW, what did you mean when you said it comes with a magazine about the film?

One of the listings on eBay which I was looking at included a magazine with it. The DVD I think was a Cinema Club release and comes with a Cinema Club magazine so I'm guessing it's about the film as the cover of the DVD is the cover of the magazine. I can post pictures of it if you like when it comes?

This page had disappeared a bit as a result of the flash so I've taken another picture of it. You can read the blue box panel below now.
