Larry HagmanDallas: Season 13

Loved it

They don't make TV like this anymore! Reliving the magic of this spectacular series I grew up watching in my early teen years has been terrific!

Needless to say, everyone is rather surprised.315. Black TideBroadcast: November 10, 1989Vanessa confirms that JR is James's father. Cliff rubs it in on JR as well as April for being part of JR's stable, which earns him a slap.

Carter McKay arrives a few moments later with reporters hanging off his tail. He tells everyone that the Coast Guard says that Weststar's tanker is leaking oil as a result of being hit by JR's tanker.

Bobby even goes so far as to say he wants Cliff to stay away from Christopher. Michelle is next to come to the office, expecting her reward for getting Cliff out of Ewing Oil.

Carter says that instead of money, he'll offer her one open favor whenever she decides to call it in.After hearing about the potential dire financial straits, April offers to help Bobby out with some cash but he declines. Bobby asks Clayton to keep Ellie away from the ranch for a while until he can straighten things out. Heading out to work, he finds that the Southfork pool has been vandalized and dirtied with oil.

Many of Ewing Oil's customers come to see Bobby and tell him that unless he manages to salvage the situation, they may have to take their business elsewhere.As Vanessa plans to head back home, JR asks her to stay and work out some of their unresolved issues. She painfully tells him that he's got her son now and hopes that James won't take his knocks the hard way from now on.

April drin

Another great dallas season will be released in 13th of April and only one full season is left to complete the series and 3 tv movies which i hope they will be released after dvd season 14 is being released and i'm talking about the 1986 prequel DALLAS:THE EARLY YEARS and the post series movies, 1996 JR:RETURNS and 1998 WAR OF THE EWINGS.Season 12 ended with sue ellen threating JR with releasing the movie about him which was hardly a cliffhanger which was normally left out of the fav Dallas top 10 cliffhangers as they were voted by the dallas fans and u can see this top 10 in one of the dallas dvd seasons releases as a special feature. From the 13 regular seasons the three clifhangers which were left out of the top 10 were the clifhangers of DVD SEASON 5 (Clif hospitalised), season 12 (sue ellen treatens JR) and season 13 finale.With hopes of a new and final reunion movie i leave u to enjoy the rest of the dalla seasons and let's hope we get a full prequel dallas series which will tell the events set between the arise of jock ewing and the events of dallas dvd season 1 in 1978.I hope if they do this series they do it right.

I like the tv show Dallas

Love everything about the original Dallas series. Actually, I have purchased every season because I want to be able to watch it again. Interestingly, the 'grandchildren' of Miss Ellie and Jock Ewing have grown up on the show. I'm happy the same characters were used throughout the series. There's nothing on tv today, in my opinion, that compares to this fast-moving, epic. There's something of interest for everyone on nearly every show, from cattle ranching to the oil business. Then there's a steady stream of some of the most beautiful women on the planet. The show features some of the darker side of life's situations, and all of the above is integrated so well into the script as to keep viewers coming back for more-for 14 seasons!.

I have purchased the whole series of Dallas. All the DVDs came in very well packaged. I had one disk that had small scratch, I used a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and gently cleaned disk. Worked great and did not skip anymore. These DVDs have been watched many many times. I have a big family and we all grew up on Dallas. As I would finish one season I'd pass it down the line. Great memories of all of us being home on friday nights watching it.

I'm young. I was born about when Dallas was. So, I don't remember it during it's hayday. But my husband and I picked up the first two seasons as a joke. He grew up asking his mom and dad if he could stay up just late enough to hear the opening song. So we watched it and were so into it that we scooped up all the seasons! LOL It's been 2 1/2 years and we're still watching!Just love all the characters and the drama!
