I am from Dubai, an Arab city that many people do not know, but when the series “Dallas” is shown, the whole city stops. I remember my mother sitting in the living room when I was 6 years old, watching it together. These are beautiful days.
For us at that time, it was a masterpiece of story, drama, and acting, as well as the Falcon Crest series, a show in the eighties, and we watched it with great passion.
When I moved to Dallas 7 years ago, I played this on my smartphone. It was an emotional experience. This city has been very good to my family and I. Moving here was the best decision I ever made.
Was on a tour group to south fork ranch. There was a lady tourist from Romania. Also according to the tour guide one of the set houses on the ranch was built by Romania!!!
This show brings back fond memories of my childhood. Sitting on the couch with my grandmother watching this show. Shows like this made nighttime TV shows worth watching, now we have crappy reality shows.
As a tiny kid I remember having to see the tractor in the intro or I wasn’t happy lol. My parents would yell “Here comes the tractor!” and that would just make my whole life. My parents have been gone for a decade and this intro takes me so far back that I can’t help but just miss that time with all of my heart.❤️❤️❤️
Awesome memories of my teens. My Dad didn't like me watching it, so I told him that I had to watch it for both economics and geography homework because of its valuable insights into the oil industry. A cunning ploy that JR would have admired!
❤❤❤ Hell...I shed a tear while listening. I'm missing home and feeling nostalgic rn. It's the horns for me, too. 🎺 This, in my opinion, is THE best tv theme song. The fact that I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas helps, too.❤
You can see the reflection of the helicopter in the glass building. These single shots must have cost thousands of dollars to film. Now its all drones.
I’m glad you mentioned them for looking back as I child I was mesmerised by the intro,,I didn’t understand why 3 screens moved and what sort of magic was this before my young eyes. The world was so magical,,,I miss being a kid,,,I just never knew until 40odd years later,,,hence why I am here as I just started to hum the tune from out of now where. Did anyone remember watching The Love boat another great show.
@@ljts7587 Yes! Love Boat, Dallas, Falcon Crest, Dynasty and then we get into the daytime shows: Days of Our Lives and Young and the Restless. Wow! Memory lane!
@@jenniferclark9170Oh don’t I miss these shows so much. My mum would call a RO RO ferry we passed the Love Boat,,it’s real name is Duke of Lancaster. What happened to good quality shows. Today they just don’t seem to have that magic they once did. I may have to check a few you mentioned as I’ve not heard from them myself. I was too busy watching Terrahawks or Danger Mouse at that age. Oh and some odd programs. I remember one called Band of Gold. Very strange but nothing could be more strange than Bill and Ben the flower pot men. My Nan called me and my brother the flower pot men. A right Bobby Dazzler. In fact I fancy watching some Keeping up Appearances,,,she’s like me ya see. Poor Richard lol.
Its remarkable how music memory works. I remember being 8 years old in my living room jumping on a small trampoline while my parents watched Dallas. This theme song triggers something in my brain, and the memory feels like it happened yesterday.
Ah, the 80's Friday nights of my childhood when I was SOOOO happy. This brings back so many fond memories of an idyllic childhood. My mother and grandmother would have sooner missed church than Dallas. They're long passed away now but this kinda brings them back a little and I smile at the memories.
And don't know about you but as a young girl I wasn't allowed watch it!!! Neither were any of my younger siblings Only later in life did I catch up with the Ewing family. Parents have their privileges too!! 😊
Eye am so grateful to the infinite enchanted Universe that eye grew up in the 1980's ( born '72). Best childhood ever. It was all Rock N' Roll and Soul , magical. Eye was alive before.Rap crap and hip hop nonsense, stupidity of 'pop culture'. Back then people were open and could sit on the sidewalk and talk about anything, but today people are so offended easily about everything, it is ridiculous. Kids today have no clue what they missed ;-)
Probably one of the coolest tv intros ever. I like how the screen shots come in from the side, I don't think any other tv show did that at that time. Cool fly over of the old Texas stadium. If you notice the International tractor before the shot of Texas stadium, you can see the driver of the tractor wave or start to tip his cap at the camera or helicopter filming the shot. For the longest time I never noticed that. They could not have done a better job with this intro/theme song. It captures everything to do with not just the city of Dallas, but the whole state really.
I am from Kazakhstan. The whole family watched this show during the 90s, that is when the show was first available after the collapse of Soviet Union. I was a kid, but I remember how my grandmother used to love it. If she was still alive, I would fly her to Dallas to let her see the city and that ranch with her own eyes.
hands down one of THE greatest theme tunes of any TV show, ever! I can still remember the melody & every punch of the orchestra! I was a kid when Dallas was on TV here in England, but hearing this takes me right back 💛
Watching this series when it aired on TV in the early 80s when I was a kid, that is the one thing that still sticks in my memory the boldest--the stadium shot :)
I used to live in Dallas and as a young kid moved to East Texas. My Dad had a friend that actually worked at that Ranch in the 80s thru the 90s. How cool 😎
@@GplusGains I would probably agree. I think Knot's Landing was right there as well. Idk? Dynasty was good too But Dallas and Knots Landing were the leaders
I visited Dallas as an 11yr old with my grandparents, and stayed with my aunt and uncle and two cousins. It was a blast, being out there and seeing Dallas in ‘88.

I grew up near Dallas and that show started when I was in the 2nd grade. The show aired Friday nights my family and I watched just about every episodes. Family from around the country would fly in and shack with us because they wanted to see the city of Dallas as well as the ranch. So, we became the tour guides.

How was this allowed in the communist bloc? I always thought western shows and movies had to be smuggled in until Gorbachev, but maybe that was only in the Soviet Union itself.
I'm from Paraguay and maybe there in the USA you don't know it or you don't believe it, but this TV show literally paralyzed my country every wednesday at 9:00 p.m. in all its seasons and of course I didn't miss a single chapter. Channel 9 from here with great effort had surely bought the rights to this and other famous tv shows of the time, such as Dinasty, obviously translated into Spanish and thanks to that we were up to date with all the wave of American TV shows at a time when the internet only existed in science fiction.

I remember a National Geographic article from thirty years ago about Botswana and there was a photo of a family in their living room and two kids sitting on the floor watching Dallas.
the networks can go FUCK THEMSELVES. THOSE OLE DAYS WERE THE BEST. EXTENDED TV THEMES WERE A MAJOR PART FOR A SHOW'S SUCCESS AND U GET CONNECTED WITH THE MUSIC. DALLAS THEME SOUNDED BIG......U THINK THE SHOW IS BIG JUST FOR HEARING THIS DIVINE MUSIC. NOW ALL SUCK.............I HATE THE NOW A DAYS IN WHICH WE ARE ALL BECAME A SMART-SELF-PHONE - DRUG ADDICTS. BACK IN THOSE DAYS WE WERE FREE............WE ENJOYED LIFE IN GENERAL............NOT ANY MORE.
I agree. Those were times that made America great. I lived in Dallas at the time, and really miss it. Even went to South Form a couple of times, awesome.
Back when life was so much simpler and you stayed excited all week for a new episode of your fav show. Growing up in rural Texas Dallas was on all our tv sets.
I worked at the Ranch for a good 2 years, never knew about the show. Loved the atmosphere and the Staff, thank you Southfork Ranch - Jared My God that song would never stop at the mansion, it played 24/7 this song haunts me.
I'm watching all the seasons now, as i never got to watch it all; i am loving this music . im analyzing every instrument! just beautiful! the actors and actresses, did their thang on this show!!!
Dallas was never something I would have watched, especially when I was younger, but you have to admit it has one of the the most memorable themes and opening credits of all time. The same counts for Dynasty as well.
I was a kid at the time. My parents watched this show every Wednesday I think it was. I probably couldn't understand what was going on so I didn't really watch this. Only the theme song is memorable for me but wow.... it's memorable.
@@NoahSpurrier It may have been but from the eyes of a 12 year old (averaging out what my age was when it was airing) hooked on episodic Genre television, the loves and squabbles of the rich was hardly 'must-see' tv.
This theme song gives me teary eyes as it somehow is a reminiscence of my siblings and parents who are now no longer with me... We used to watch Dallas together when I was only 9-12 years old..
GOSH I WAS A BABY WATCHING THIS SHOW WITH MY DAD IT WAS SO NICE TO WATCH SHOWS WITH MY BELOVED FATHER...MY MOM DIDNT LIKE MUCH TV I DID OTHER ACTIVITIES WITH HER...I LOVE YOU MOM AND DAD IN HEAVEN...SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY...
Yes! Dallas was THE thing in our house back then. I was about 9, and I was allowed to watch it, but my mom made me go to bed afterwards, so I couldn't stay up for Dynasty. She'd have to tell me in the morning what happened! Ahhh, the days before VCRs!!!😮😅😊
"Dallas" was the Mother of all American TV soaps in the early 1980's! That hit theme song (It was released as a single in the U.K.) and who could forget that were were all glued to it when J.R. was shot - and then that made the TV news as well! I used to sit down and watch it with my Mum and we both enjoyed it.
I wish i could go back in time and sit with my mom on her coach and watch this with her again. Small kid. This show was one that was a big deal in our house
Growing up on the farm, my grandmother would watch this show every week (among others). Odd that this popped up on my feed, memories come rushing back... wow.
I remember being 3-4 years old and watching it every Saturday evening with my grandparents... Now i'm 35 years old, and this song is still giving me goosebumps ❤️
It went up in the UK because the Radio Presenter Terry Wogan commented many times that his colleague, David Jacobs, was involved in Production! Obviously not 'our' David Jacobs, but LOTS of interest created!

This was a family tradition every Saturday and eventually Friday for the entire family to watch and get lost in the Ewing way of life for a moment in time. Great series and happy it was part of my childhood at eight years old all the way until I turned 21 in 1991.
The Dallas television series was one of my all time favorite shows begining in 1979 ! I was literally " glued " to the TV screen every Friday night . I especially liked the music of the opening and closing themes . Another series with beautiful theme music was Falcon Crest . MarkE. Switzer
Growing up in the 80's this was the BIG show that everyone watched. I remember after JR got shot cliffhanger all summer long people had bumper stickers on their cars saying "I SHOT THE BASTARD!"
When I was a child the music intro was always in my head when I was in bed. The music theme was in my head for many years. It was a time I wish I could go back to. No social media and no mobile phones!!!
Not me, the 80's was a disaster for the Industrial Northeast, hundreds of thousands of jobs lost, thanks to Ronald Reagan, just go to Detroit or Cleveland and witness the how it almost looks like a nuclear bomb went off the place
@@dancastro4732 jr had somewhat of a heart. Billy Drago had none. Have you ever seen delta force 2, the untouchables, or the adventures of brisco County jr.
@@jonesanrchy1980 Untouchables yes but the other movies I haven't. I know J.R. had a bit of a heart. I grew up with the show. Sadly after Hagman died the new series went to hell
This is so surreal as a 10 year old I loved to watch Dallas on Friday night just wondering what Dallas was really like . Well 37 years later I ended up marrying my second husband and we moved to Dallas . After a year being here I’m still in Awe ❤️
this show feels like a distant memory in my head, I'd be playing on my tablet while listening to this intro playing on the TV while my mother watched it.
I can remember it was 1987 and Dallas would be on, my dad cooking steaks on the grill and mom making salad and boiling potatoes. I miss those Saturday nights as a child.
Sound is great in headphones. Man,we were so little when we were watching every episode with my parents. Some of it was boring, but I couldnt wait to see what happens in the next episode.
My gosh, what memories. My wife and I would get together with another couple we were good friends with and would go out for pizza almost every Friday evening or so then go back to their house to catch The Dukes of Hazzard, Dallas then Falcon Crest to finish out the evening. Wonderful, wonderful times that are unfortunately long past. Another time that I long for compared to today.
A guy I knew while attending the Evergreen State College-his parents were going to buy this ranch . We all laughed until he shows us photos of his parents huge Texas estate with a tennis courts. He ( Chad) pretended he was poor if he wanted to be poor he needed to lose the airplane, Mercedes sedan and the house. I don’t know many 21 year olds with a $110,000 Mercedes or airplane.
Same. It was one of my mom's favorites. I was too young to care but the theme song kills me with nostalgia. I'm now watching as an adult on DVD and loved the reboot!
Not a Cowboys fan by any means, but that was cool how they did a flyover of old Texas Stadium. To the rest of the country, the Cowboys are obv. highly representative of that area, neat to see them incorporated there.
We were in comunism at that time and Dallas was the most followed serial. On each Saturday night, no one was on the street, everyone was watching Dallas. Our only joy at TV.
I was a little baby in GDR times and I "broke" out of my bed when that great show was on. I always was allowed to watch it ... 🥰❤️😍 That music broke my bed. 😃👍

it was for me too i used to stay up and watch Dallas and Dynasty my brother was sent to bed always my moms favourite program ever
It aired on Fridays so we could stay up late to watch it.
Mine too. As a 6 year old girl I was deemed to young to watch dallas back in the days of holy Catholic ireland.

Hmmm - either you fooled your dad into watching it or your dad wanted you to always be able to argue and justify what you wanted to do.

The first ones are French horns then trumpets.

EXTENDED TV THEMES WERE A MAJOR PART FOR A SHOW'S SUCCESS AND U GET CONNECTED WITH THE MUSIC.
DALLAS THEME SOUNDED BIG......U THINK THE SHOW IS BIG JUST FOR HEARING THIS DIVINE MUSIC.
NOW ALL SUCK.............I HATE THE NOW A DAYS IN WHICH WE ARE ALL BECAME A SMART-SELF-PHONE - DRUG ADDICTS.
BACK IN THOSE DAYS WE WERE FREE............WE ENJOYED LIFE IN GENERAL............NOT ANY MORE.
I agree. Those were times that made America great. I lived in Dallas at the time, and really miss it. Even went to South Form a couple of times, awesome.
Back when life was so much simpler and you stayed excited all week for a new episode of your fav show. Growing up in rural Texas Dallas was on all our tv sets.
I worked at the Ranch for a good 2 years, never knew about the show. Loved the atmosphere and the Staff, thank you Southfork Ranch - Jared
My God that song would never stop at the mansion, it played 24/7 this song haunts me.
Happy to have lived it .....loved the 80s....
1978 ,,, Did you miss the 1st 2 years ?
Dallas Started in the 70s
I'm watching all the seasons now, as i never got to watch it all; i am loving this music . im analyzing every instrument! just beautiful! the actors and actresses, did their thang on this show!!!
How to get all the seasons?
Dallas was never something I would have watched, especially when I was younger, but you have to admit it has one of the the most memorable themes and opening credits of all time. The same counts for Dynasty as well.
Same here never watched it but love the theme👍👍
I was a kid at the time. My parents watched this show every Wednesday I think it was. I probably couldn't understand what was going on so I didn't really watch this. Only the theme song is memorable for me but wow.... it's memorable.
They were both head to head back at that time!!!
It was actually a pretty good show. Larry Hagman as J.R. Ewing was hilariously evil.

@@NoahSpurrier It may have been but from the eyes of a 12 year old (averaging out what my age was when it was airing) hooked on episodic Genre television, the loves and squabbles of the rich was hardly 'must-see' tv.
This theme song gives me teary eyes as it somehow is a reminiscence of my siblings and parents who are now no longer with me... We used to watch Dallas together when I was only 9-12 years old..
same same same
Yes I remember my Mam when I hear it. She loved it but now she’s gone and my two sisters don’t speak to me and live thousands of miles away.
GOSH I WAS A BABY WATCHING THIS SHOW WITH MY DAD IT WAS SO NICE TO WATCH SHOWS WITH MY BELOVED FATHER...MY MOM DIDNT LIKE MUCH TV I DID OTHER ACTIVITIES WITH HER...I LOVE YOU MOM AND DAD IN HEAVEN...SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY...
RIP Larry Hagman, star of I Dream of Jeannie and Dallas. You're irreplaceable in everyone's minds and hearts!!
He truly is. Loved him dearly like if I knew him in real.
Hands down one of the best shows!
Yes! Dallas was THE thing in our house back then. I was about 9, and I was allowed to watch it, but my mom made me go to bed afterwards, so I couldn't stay up for Dynasty. She'd have to tell me in the morning what happened! Ahhh, the days before VCRs!!!😮😅😊
"Dallas" was the Mother of all American TV soaps in the early 1980's! That hit theme song (It was released as a single in the U.K.) and who could forget that were were all glued to it when J.R. was shot - and then that made the TV news as well! I used to sit down and watch it with my Mum and we both enjoyed it.
Dallas Started in 78 you may want o Give the 70s some love JUSST SAYING LOL
Such a powerful theme tune.. Very memorable indeed.
I wish i could go back in time and sit with my mom on her coach and watch this with her again. Small kid. This show was one that was a big deal in our house
1980s: theme song to one of the greatest soap operas
2020: theme song to the Dallas Cowboys organization
Matthew Shortle 2 - 6, and Playing 8 - 0 Steelers next game.
Yep
1970s Theme song you mean Ist AIRED in 1978
ACTUALY DALLAS STARTED IN 1978 ITS A 70s THEME SONG 4 REAL LOL
Growing up on the farm, my grandmother would watch this show every week (among others). Odd that this popped up on my feed, memories come rushing back... wow.
Loved JR, best villian ever. We all secretly wished we were him. Larry Hagman played the part to perfection.
He was the villain we all rooted "FOR"!!!
Best villain ever! I appreciate him even more now that I'm older. ❤❤
I remember being 3-4 years old and watching it every Saturday evening with my grandparents... Now i'm 35 years old, and this song is still giving me goosebumps ❤️
I'm Dallas born and raised. I used to watch this with my grandparents. So much pride. I inherited that. Its awesome being from Dallas!
It went up in the UK because the Radio Presenter Terry Wogan commented many times that his colleague, David Jacobs, was involved in Production! Obviously not 'our' David Jacobs, but LOTS of interest created!
40 FRIGGEN Years Ago.....
Where has the time gone?

I second this comment!
I was just thinking the same!!😂
@@TDL-xg5nn We all have one foot in the grave. Anyone can die at any time. Death doesn't discriminate.
When I was a boy, themes like this and WKRP in Cincinnati made me dream of a wider world.
Both from the 70s
loved this show i tried to watch every day when it came on TNN back in the day
The good old days.
Eye am so grateful to the infinite enchanted Universe that eye grew up in the 1980's ( born '72). Best childhood ever. It was all Rock N' Roll and Soul , magical. Eye was alive before Rap crap and hip hop nonsense, stupidity of 'pop culture'. Back then people were open and could sit on the sidewalk and talk about anything, but today people are so offended easily about everything, it is ridiculous. Kids today have no clue what they missed ;-)
@@robertdemeter5793 is using "eye" for I a colloquial thing? Never seen that before
You know hovercat..... The totally pathetic and fake christian american money that says ..."In God We Trust " -

@@robertdemeter5793 lmao what i asked why you say "eye"
Every religion on the planet since the first religion the Rig veda of India tells you to activate all 7 chakras within. Including the 3rd eye pinrql gland for spiritual vision - fractalenlightenment.com/18337/spirituality/kundalini-rising-part-6-ajna-the-third-eye-chakra
This was a family tradition every Saturday and eventually Friday for the entire family to watch and get lost in the Ewing way of life for a moment in time. Great series and happy it was part of my childhood at eight years old all the way until I turned 21 in 1991.
The Dallas television series was one of my all time favorite shows begining in 1979 ! I was literally " glued " to the TV screen every Friday night . I especially liked the music of the opening and closing themes . Another series with beautiful theme music was Falcon Crest . MarkE. Switzer
1978 I WAS THERE LOL
Used to watch this with my grandparents as a little kid...they are gone now, but the memories are there
This was THE TV show to watch!! The whole family were glued to the screen!
I am watching the series once again, having started from the absolute earliest episodes. It is as awesome as I remember it / Sweden
OMG! The opening orchestra build-up, the goofy funk guitar sound, the triptych floating screen, the cows, the LARGE titles: I am born again!
haha
One of the best shows ever made ! A real classic
It was one of my favorite shows in the 80s we watched it together as a family. what an intro.
I wish I could go back to the best times ever. 1980s 😀
This was 78 AND the 70s where just as good i was there lol
Back when the theme song was just as important as the show lol
Great competition between the strings and massive walls of French Horns. Beautiful orchestra Keith.
@@The670533 yep
Terrible ain't it lol
I used to play these in school assembly
Don't be silly, they still are. It's just good, memorable theme tunes are few and far between.
Growing up in the 80's this was the BIG show that everyone watched. I remember after JR got shot cliffhanger all summer long people had bumper stickers on their cars saying "I SHOT THE BASTARD!"
uncletaylorify Barbara Eden shot J.R. because he left Cocoa Beach.
I shot JR as I couldn't cope with his teeth!!
@@cornellgreen3692
I've seen two mugs, 1 thrift store and 4 months apart reading I shot J.R.
@@camcordernonsense5264 I want one of those still today. LOL
@@protectanimals8402
I should have got them. 1 for me. One for you
When I was a child the music intro was always in my head when I was in bed. The music theme was in my head for many years. It was a time I wish I could go back to. No social media and no mobile phones!!!
Learned my first english words from this serie
Brings back memory’s
God I miss the 80’s :(
@@robertdemeter5793 Me too. Lucky to have grown up in the 70s and 80s !
Not me, the 80's was a disaster for the Industrial Northeast, hundreds of thousands of jobs lost, thanks to Ronald Reagan, just go to Detroit or Cleveland and witness the how it almost looks like a nuclear bomb went off the place
Get a time machine and go back to the 80s then
@@robertdemeter5793 Get a snicker dude...lol
Me, too.
The view over the hole in Texas Stadium, there so that God can watch his favorite team play was all I needed as a Cowboys fan.
Wasn't the biggest fan of this show, but I definitely always loved the opening music
That's how i felt about mash
It was on right after The A-Team so I heard the intro many times, but I’m pretty sure I’ve never watched an episode.

Good God this song. Whoever composed it. It perfectly encapsulates the spirit
Best part of my life, loved watching Dallas, theme brings it back, 69 in August, were happy days, great series and actors.
RIP Larry Hagman. Best damn bad guy ever.
@@johnogara3029 J.R. Ewing mate
Billy Drago was the best bad guy
@@jonesanrchy1980 Noone tops J.R. in villainy
@@dancastro4732 jr had somewhat of a heart. Billy Drago had none. Have you ever seen delta force 2, the untouchables, or the adventures of brisco County jr.
@@jonesanrchy1980 Untouchables yes but the other movies I haven't. I know J.R. had a bit of a heart. I grew up with the show. Sadly after Hagman died the new series went to hell
Imagine being Dennis Rodman listinging to this non stop in North Korea
Lol. Just there myself.
lmfao I saw Mike Tysons interview too.
@@John_Ripper i am also here from the interview hahahahahaa
dawg im here cause the mike tyson podcast. has to hear this shit. 😂🤣😂😭
Bro 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😂
This was one of them themes that was stuck in my heard as a kid even though I NEVER watched a single episode lol!
This is so surreal as a 10 year old I loved to watch Dallas on Friday night just wondering what Dallas was really like . Well 37 years later I ended up marrying my second husband and we moved to Dallas . After a year being here I’m still in Awe ❤️
Takes me back to Friday nights when I was a kid!
this show feels like a distant memory in my head, I'd be playing on my tablet while listening to this intro playing on the TV while my mother watched it.
UrinatingTree brought me here haha.
Same
Same XD
Same
Tonight....on Dallas
HOW BOUT 'DEM COWBOYS!
Same. I’m not sure how I didn’t get here sooner. I fricken live here
Great television of a bygone era--cast, plots, production, it had everything.
Oh the nostalgia 😂 Spending the night over granny house. Great memories
I can remember it was 1987 and Dallas would be on, my dad cooking steaks on the grill and mom making salad and boiling potatoes. I miss those Saturday nights as a child.
Friday nights.....unless your parents recorded the previous nights episode??
Sound is great in headphones. Man,we were so little when we were watching every episode with my parents. Some of it was boring, but I couldnt wait to see what happens in the next episode.
Love me some Dallas! Watched it every Friday night! Bring back the 80's
My gosh, what memories. My wife and I would get together with another couple we were good friends with and would go out for pizza almost every Friday evening or so then go back to their house to catch The Dukes of Hazzard, Dallas then Falcon Crest to finish out the evening. Wonderful, wonderful times that are unfortunately long past. Another time that I long for compared to today.
My Gran was the soap fan, loved them all, now as a way to remember her i listen to the Soap themes Dallas was my and her favourite
This reminds me of Friday nights with my grandmother. She’d watch this and then Falcon Crest. 😊
A guy I knew while attending the Evergreen State College-his parents were going to buy this ranch . We all laughed until he shows us photos of his parents huge Texas estate with a tennis courts. He ( Chad) pretended he was poor if he wanted to be poor he needed to lose the airplane, Mercedes sedan and the house. I don’t know many 21 year olds with a $110,000 Mercedes or airplane.
Brings back so many childhood memories💛💛💛
I remember this show well when I was a boy. I grew up in the state next door Louisiana. 🤣
Still remember this song very vividly wasn’t into the show but my Grandmother loved it!
Dallas... my bedtime theme song. So much nostalgia for a TV show I never got to actually watch.
Same. It was one of my mom's favorites. I was too young to care but the theme song kills me with nostalgia. I'm now watching as an adult on DVD and loved the reboot!
Not a Cowboys fan by any means, but that was cool how they did a flyover of old Texas Stadium. To the rest of the country, the Cowboys are obv. highly representative of that area, neat to see them incorporated there.
We were in comunism at that time and Dallas was the most followed serial. On each Saturday night, no one was on the street, everyone was watching Dallas. Our only joy at TV.
I was a little baby in GDR times and I "broke" out of my bed when that great show was on. I always was allowed to watch it ... 🥰❤️😍 That music broke my bed. 😃👍
