[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 343049, member: 57984"] Many people seem to agree that Seasons 6 and 7 (Per DVD count) -- the 1982 to 1984 era -- of DALLAS was likely the best two year period of the series, the Katzman.Lewis/Paulsen triumvirate guiding the plotlines. But what if that period in the series never happened --- or happened differently? In 1982, DALLAS was already a legend in its own time, flush with the recent memory of the 'Who Shot JR?' plotline which created an international furor in 1980. Yet the two years which stretched from, approximately, Cliff's suicide attempt through Bobby's shooting, became the gold standard for DALLAS and may have been responsible for sealing its legend. How would DALLAS, even by the fans, be remembered if the 1982-1984 section of the program had not unfolded as it did? Would it just be that old show where JR got shot and really nothing else (which, by the way, is indeed how non-fans recall DALLAS, if at all)?
