[QUOTE="Lastkidpicked, post: 81202, member: 237"] Very good point, [B]Rove.[/B] What amazes me is how they were able to get the "feel" of Dallas, the city. It's no coincidence that they filmed on location near Dallas those early years, and the show definitely had that feel to it that is missing from the later seasons. What do I mean by the "feel" of the city? I'm glad you asked. When you are in Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, or Austin, Texas, you feel as if you are part of something big. Everybody from the CEO of Ewing Oil to the guy sweeping out the parking lot feels as if there will always be a bigger and better opportunity right around the corner. Here's a conversation I heard while in downtown Dallas: Oil company executive walks up to valet: "My company car, please" Valet: "Yes, Mr. Harvey" Oil company executive: "How they treating you, Sam?" Valet: "They treat me pretty good, Sir" Oil Company Executive: (Hands Valet a 100 dollar bill) "Well, you tell them Punk Harvey treats you better!" [/QUOTE]
