Message: <blockquote data-quote="ArchieLucasCarringtonEwing1989" data-source="post: 359691" data-attributes="member: 95">Phil Capice was instrumental in making the show in its first seven years a huge success, granted season 8 was repetitive and season 9 went OTT (to be fair s9 aired in 1986…the year the 80s went crazy) Capice and Katzman were the yin and Yang, season 9 was a taste of what DALLAS was like without Katzman and seasons 11-14 was DALLAS without Capice or much of the original castI tend to prefer season 9 because the original cast were still there, yes it becam too much like Dynasty, but seasons 11-14 lost a large chunk of the original cast that made Dallas work so well, and that’s the difference for me, as crazy as season 9 was, we still had Pam, Sue Ellen, Ray, Miss Ellie etc around, season 10 isn’t as bad as like season 9 the cast was still there plus Bobby for what it was worth was back, but the rot was beginning to set.</blockquote>
