[QUOTE="Rove, post: 159718, member: 100"] This is what occurs when someone believes they are bigger than the game. I see it all the time both in business, politics and sport. Did Lenny really believe he was the answer to pull Dallas from the brink of disaster? So there were creative differences (behind the scenes) with Lorimar Dallas. It didn't matter because what was being presented on screen worked. The audience was loving the product you were serving. Why tinker with it? Why didn't someone from CBS pull the lot of them in and give them a good telling off. Starting with the Barbara Bel Geddes/Donna Reed debacle. If Barbara simply requested a lighter filming schedule then surely her demands could have been accommodated simply by shooting her scenes in Los Angeles. It wasn't like Lorimar Dallas were not already doing this. And if Lenny was [I]THE [/I]answer to the problems facing Dallas why did the series lose momentum under his leadership when he had assumed total creative control? [/QUOTE]
