[QUOTE="Jock Ewing Fan, post: 337838, member: 40536"] Just for the fun of it, I checked average ratings on Wikipedia Season 7: 21.5 Million (1983-84) Season 8: 20.97 Million (Donna Reed)(1984-85) Season 9: 18.8 Million (Dream Season) (1985-86) Season 10: 18.6 Million (Bobby Returns) (1986-87) Season 11: 15.2 Million (Pam and Donna Leave) My best interpretation, based on ratings: Replacing Miss Ellie in Season 8 had a minimal effect, at best. Dream Season (#9), Bobby's departure, BBG return, ratings declined 10.3 from Season 8, 12.6% from Season 7. Significant drop, not enough to consider cancellation Season 10, Bobby's Return, ratings almost identical to dream Season. It can be argued that ratings would have fallen more without Bobby's return, and that Dallas's fan base was showing some signs of stagnation. Season 11, Ratings decline 18.3%, departures of Pam and Donna impact the show quite negatively. People can draw their own conclusions based on the ratings [/QUOTE]
