    Dallas is a long-running American prime time television soap opera that revolves around the Ewings, a wealthy Texas family in the oil and cattle-ranching industries. The show was famous for its cliffhangers, including the "Who shot J. R.?" mystery, and the "Dream Season", in which the entirety of the ninth season was revealed to have been a dream of one of the characters.
    Throughout the series, Larry Hagman stars as greedy, scheming oil tycoon J. R. Ewing. The show also starred stage/screen actress Barbara Bel Geddes as family matriarch Miss Ellie, and movie Western actor Jim Davis as Ewing patriarch Jock, his last role before his death in 1981. The series won four Emmy Awards, including a 1980 Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series win for Bel Geddes. With its 357 episodes, Dallas remains one of the longest lasting full-hour primetime dramas in American TV history.

    The thing I remember about Dallas when I was about six years old was my Mom and I visiting our across the street neighbors. Ms. Maney watched Dukes of Hazzard, Dallas, and Falcon Crest every Friday night. I used to also steal some Hershey kisses from her candy bowl while laying on the floor to the right of the TV. She didn’t even care! She would refill the bowl. lol. Usually I was sleeping by the time Falcon Crest was on and then Mom would wake me up to go across the street to go to bed. This was in the days where people had huge antennas on their roofs that had to be pointed just right to get the “big 3 networks”. We were in Western NC in the mountains so that could be a challenge. Fortunately, Ms. Maney received WSPA TV 7 CBS quite well. Memories. 😂. I believe Falcon Crest was on NBC and the antenna had to be turned again to watch WYFF 4 NBC. It took a while.

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.

    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 remember when I was a kid, I use to dance to this song 😂 My mom loved it- the show and my dancing 💞😍

      Definitely one of the greatest theme songs of a series ever.

      and....what if anything, have you done with your dancing...? Did you go on to have a fantastic career...? We are all curious.....

    Song popped up in my head out of nowhere, had to listen, been a while took me back to the 80s when I was a kid. This was my mother and Grandmother’s show!

    The show aired on Friday night in Toronto, Ontario, I remember as it was just yesterday. Where have all the great shows gone? That was the time to watch TV as a family.

    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!

    I loved watching this show, when I was a kid. This show had a long cliffhanger which we all had to wait for a long time. It was when someone had shot Jr Ewing & we had to wait to find out who did it. It was all we talked about & who we thought did it.
