[QUOTE="Jock Ewing Fan, post: 389558, member: 40536"] Why would there be issues with the Oil Baron's Ball be not glamourous eough? This board is constantly defending BBG's sack dresses, and demeaning Donna Reed's more fashionable dress, on the basis that is is truer to the character, but then the Ball is not glamorous enough? Seems contradictory. I didn't want Dallas to be glamorous. It had a different identity than dynasty. because it displayed a balance between "Old" more rustic Texas and the modern age, the real decline of the show began IMO when Jim Davis passed, and the more rural cowboy culture was increasingly de-emphasized. Howard Keel seemed more refined in appearance and manners,(even though Clayton was ill-tempered and tantrum prone) which is ironic given his background in westerns/western themed movies. Like everything else, it probably was budget -driven [/QUOTE]
