Message: <blockquote data-quote="pete lashmar" data-source="post: 321000" data-attributes="member: 606">Larry's attitude towards Caprice is nothing short of stunning!He always said that Dallas was a global success because of Katzman, he licked his arse every chance he got when interviewed, yet when Katzman was fully in charge the show dived and died.Let's be honest Larry & Lennie were besties, Larry could do what he wanted on set and Katzman looked the other way. It was like bullies at school.During Katzman's watch the show plummeted with dull and bland storylines, actors were hired that had huge difficulties with the material they were given, beloved actors/characters were fired left right and centre and the ones that remained were watered down so much that viewers just turned off.I honestly cannot think of one single plot that really stood out from those last few seasons, they were either disguised repeat fodder or as dull as dishwater .Caprice's exit from the show really showed who was the mastermind behind it - on his watch the show gained enormous global success. If some cast members felt rubbed up the wrong way by him well I say tough because if it wasn't for his work ethic Dallas wouldn't have been the success it was.I bet the big bosses who made the big decisions regretted Caprice going big time, but then again, by season 12 no one seemed to give a toss about the show, it's plots, it;s characters or it's legacy.</blockquote>
