I lived in Dallas for real and what you have to understand is that in order to be able to see the reality or as close to reality is it can be you have to depict what's there. Having said that I do agree that the latter seasons were not as entertaining perhaps I might be more subject to them because of my age I'm only 47 so I watch those with more intensity as I was just starting to learn. That said what y'all have said is correct the ratings are the true story here and it is true that those seasons were in fact better the stats show that. My point was very simple there were things in those last seasons that I probably wouldn't have done but there were things that I'm glad we're done because that's exactly how Texas is. Having said that also and please keep this in mind I didn't agree with everything they wrote I didn't like the Cali I didn't like James I didn't like any of that stuff I agree with you. I think they did a foolish things there but again this show lost its credibility because of Philip capice. If we hadn't had that stupid season of bond garbage and Angelica Nero and all that other you know rubbish as you like to call it in England. Perhaps it would have been different because once a show loses its credibility and it doesn't have the right writers then who else takes control. This is still Philip Capice's fault because he put that rubbish season. Suppose we had your logic. For one katsman would have left if capice wasn't gone. He's so much has said that Larry hagman wanted to leave the show if capice wasn't gone. As for VP she set a date of 1987 to leave back in 8485 when she started seeing writers leave she knew the writing was going to go bad. But even she will tell you that if Larry hagman had not stood up to get rid of Philip capice then she might have left even earlier. So this idea that yes those last four seasons were garbage not all of them not all of it that's my point. You have to understand new TV shows were coming out the '80s we're starting to come to an end the way of thinking was changing. And going back to what I was saying earlier Dallas itself was changing. I'm a resident here I've been born and raised in the Dallas area and I've lived here my whole life and I'm telling you we were going through the transition away from oil to a more diverse economy. So when you put all those things together this was bound to happen. They tried to make it as close to reality as they could and a lot of times in some of these upper Texas families these things do happen. So you guys have to take that and understand that in perpetuity. Now I'm not going to argue all with y'all about this anymore. Bottom line Philip capice messed up The credibility of this show and once that's done it doesn't matter what happens it's very hard to get it back. Leonard katzman basically was bullied by Philip Capice in that season where they did that Angelica Nero garbage and if Capice had not left Katzman would have gone so this notion that Katsman and Capice together would have continued to work no Capice was a liar Capice was rubbish and I'm glad he's dead</p></blockquote><p></p>
