[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 157141, member: 57984"] Oh, there's always the off-camera revival. Katzman didn't care about making it work. It was a power grab --- and dismissing everything that happened during the season he wasn't a part of was the point. And that was indeed the viewpoint -- for the year he was dead. David Jacobs once said that the perfunctory nature of the explanation for Bobby's return wasn't universally accepted because the audience was very emotional about Bobby's death (and Jacobs admitted he would have used another explanation). For years, the DALLAS folks talk about the Dream scenario as if was merely a little controversial and people were mixed about it. Which is, of course, a damnable lie. In 1986, it was seen as an abject disaster, one which became a literal sitcom punchline for several years. After all, the most successful drama series in global TV history had just fatally shot itself for no good reason. No wonder they still continue to spin it. [/QUOTE]
