Message: <blockquote data-quote="Crimson" data-source="post: 336142" data-attributes="member: 5079">It's always interesting to see just how much of DALLAS the fans here disliked.  If this forum ever had a chance to edit DALLAS down to just the parts they enjoyed, I think the entire series would last about 4 hours.  My own take on DALLAS is pretty simple.  The first half of the series, I have no particular problem with; the second half, I have no use for. I've never had a problem with Leslie Stewart; she wouldn't rank among my favorites, but I didn't dislike the character or the actress.  I wouldn't go to great lengths to defend Charlene or Priscilla, but I think any failings had as much to do with the writing as their talents.  Even Donna Reed -- woefully miscast and ill-conceived -- had minimal impact; the producers seem to limit her involvement and thus any damage.On the other hand, I'm hard pressed to think of a new character introduced after the mid-point of the series who seemed beneficial; most of them were pretty dire.  But the worst of the worst was Sascha Mitchell; an actor so awkward he didn't seem capable of playing a human being.</blockquote>
