Even more so when the first episodes concentrated on Southfork.But maybe this answers that question:Not that I could imagine them calling it Braddock (or a fictional town version) because the ranch was too isolated to create its own "town" feel.So it couldn't be another Peyton Place or Flamingo Road.Then there's the idea that "Dallas" does not necessarily represent a place, but more like an experience or atmosphere - the dark shadows of Texas.Or a song title that has nothing to do with the song itself, even though the city of Dallas is  a part of the soap Dallas. But again, maybe they're not the same thing!</blockquote>
