Message: <blockquote data-quote="Luke_Krebbs_Ewing" data-source="post: 320872" data-attributes="member: 64">We all know that Dallas was at it's best when Katzman was Producer and Philip Capice was the Executive Producer of Dallas for the show's first eight years.Katzman temporarily departed the show for season nine, replaced by James H. Brown as Producer.He returned for season ten on the proviso that Philip Capice was shown the door, as well as the return of Patrick Duffy at the insistence of Larry Hagman.  For the show this was the turning point where the quality of the writing  after season ten took an abrupt nose dive.What are your opinions of the choices Katzman made in the writing when he took total control.  The Wes Parmalee Jock Ewing storyline (one of my favourites!), the BD Calhoun terrorist storyline, as well as the way they wrote Victoria Principal off the show and being subjected to the whole mummy Pam storyline in season eleven.  And of course all the other silly plots like the Haleyville storyline.Personally I don't think Katzman had what it takes to be the showrunner once he became Executive Producer.  What are your opinions of him?  I honestly believe that the reason Dallas became so bland and mediocre in it's last four seasons were down to Katzman's creative choices in the writing, like weakening the character of JR.  What do you all think of him?   <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> [ATTACH=full]36951[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
