oh and of course there was the spin off from Dallas, called Knots landing, which seemed to start a whole lot of american family/business love triangle series, cos then we got Dynasty and the Colbys, and not forgetting Falcon Crest as well. All full of big shoulder pads, and dangly earings.

I remember Dallas too, i used it watch it religiously every Saturday nite. I even wrote a poem about it when i was in the 2nd year of the Seniors for my English class. I still remember the title and the first few lines of how it went.

It was called "Who Shot JR"

In the City of Dallas, where the Ewing ranch stands

JR Ewing walks out with his stetson in his hands

Miss Ellie on one side and Sue Ellen on the other

All argueing over Gary, whom is JRs brother

sorry but i cant remember the rest, a lot of years have passed since i wrote it, and i dont even know what happened to my English book that had it in, but i do know that the teacher read it out to the class and i got an 'A' for it.

One of my work colleagues let slip that she used to climb out of her bedroom window and watch Dallas through the glass of her Living Room window.....surely it wasn't that good?
