[QUOTE="the-lost-son, post: 294076, member: 672"] Despite some questionable decisions I think there was a great variety of reasons leading to its end. Due to budget cuts, cast departures the structure of Dallas was changed and did not work anymore. Age was one important aspect for me (Here's the thread I started: [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.tellytalk.net/threads/an-aging-cast.10868/[/URL] There was a time in the series where JR had three children. A thirty something James a teenaged John Ross a newborn with Cally What a mess. The scenes when James was hanging around with 12 year old John Ross trying to make friends were cringe-worthy for me. Additionally all these scenes with James and Cally emphasized the age gap between Cally&JR very much. It did not benefit JR and made him look weak when he was constantly outsmarted. The problem was in the structure. Except JR&Bobby the family was gone, the Ewing Oil we knew was gone. What's the point fighting with Ewing Oil gone and Southfork empty? You can't replace most of the old casts with new faces and keep going. At one time you just have to let go, which I did years before. [/QUOTE]
