Dallas: J.R. Returns

I am so upset over the original Dallas . Having 14 seasons ,I reached #10 and now 10 through 14 I have to pay for. So now do I watch the return of Dallas and forget remaining shows? And you advertise free tv. Very sad.

After a few years of Dallas withdrawal, I was very happy to see the group get together again. It seems that a few years away from the show didn't hurt anybody's ability to get back into character. It was also great to finally end up knowing that J.R. didn't shoot himself after all. Or was it just a dream?

Excellent. Great to see J.R. up to his old tricks.

8/10 stars.

A classic return to all the money grabbing and power struggles of the Eighties. It was great to see the crew back in action. Most of them haven't aged a bit.

Watching the verbal scraps between JR and Cliff Barnes brought it all flooding back. Damn it was good!

DALLAS there is nothing out that can compare to the acting as the actors acted in the series.To me there has been no series out that any one actor has compared to the actor JR EWING.I wish somebody would get all the episodes on vhs or dvd soon.

Well ... that old J.R. didn't really commit suicide -- he's back in action: He returns from five years in Europe and, fresh off the plane, he visits Cliff at the offices of Ewing Oil and, of course, promptly tells him he's going to take his company back. Bobby, meanwhile, is at the now-empty Southfork, feeling lonely as a widower but enjoying a great relationship with his son Christopher. Bobby decides to put Southfork up for sale. He runs into old pal Julia Cunningham, and the two go out. Christopher is intrigued by Julia's charge Pamela (who is actually Pamela Cooper). Cliff is negotiating the sale of Ewing Oil to competitor Weststar and Carter McKay.

J.R., about to lose his treasured home and his just-as-treasured company, enlists the aid of Harv Smithfield's lawyerly niece, Anita (played by the saucy Tracy Scoggins of "The Colbys"). Together they discover a secret codicil in Jock's will that leaves stock in a computer company to John Ross -- and that stock is now worth big bucks. It can only be claimed, though, after J.R.'s death. So what does he do? Hmmm ... you can probably guess ...
