[QUOTE="Luke_Krebbs_Ewing, post: 310681, member: 64"] Leonard Katzman was his own worst enemy. Whilst he was a decent writer and Producer, he just allowed Dallas to stagnate without any decent forward thinking creative control. The season after Victoria Principal and Susan Howard's departure is where the creative storyline rot began to set in. That whole Mummy Pam storyline is cringeworthy and ill thought out. It was a character assassination on Pamela Barnes Ewing and not only did it tarnish the character of Pam but it tarnished the show itself. I don't think Dallas ever fully recovered after Victoria Principal left. It really needed a lift to reinvigorate it once she left. I've often considered that if they had actually kept Steve Forrest on the show as a recast Jock Ewing, we might've been spared the substandard storylines of the last few seasons. :) [/QUOTE]
