I ALWAYS loved the episodes where someone got pushed into the pool in their fancy clothes. The best fun ever. Dallas occasionally had great comedy. Coming from someone who’s watched the entire series 3 times over.
I’d watch every Friday as a kid with my parents. I’m re-watching because I was too young when it first started, but have become a super fan for sure. Thanks for all of your 80’s content
Same here, thanks Jason! After filming this video, we watched the entire series and LOVED it! Glad you're enjoying our videos. Long live the awesome 80s!!
Loved this definitely have to go see it I’m probably the only person my age who watches this show I’m 24 been a fan for about 11 years anybody else near my age here
Dallas was all the rage back in the day, i just watched the old series on Prime. The new Dallas was really great too, sadly it only ran 3 seasons.. after Larry Hagman passed, TNT didnt pick it back up, many fans are still miffed about it. Myself included
We've heard that from other fans. We're definitely planning to watch the new series once we're finished with the original. Just watched season 9, the "dream season" and we're loving it!! It's such a great show!
As a young boy, I remember every Friday night at my grandmother's house. I would watch the Dukes Of Hazzard at 8 and my mother, grandmother and two grandaunts would watch Dallas at 9, while I would either watch or play in the other room. As a little boy I do remember the names J.R., Bobby, Pam and Jock. I started watching Dallas in 1996 when TNN(now Paramount) would air Dallas weekday afternoons. I saw just about every episode, including the made for TV movies since. Dallas was awesome. I do hope to visit the city of Dallas and visit the Southfork Ranch.
That's so great! Thanks for stopping by our channel and sharing your memories Jon! Since making this video a couple years ago, we have become a bit obsessed with Dallas. We recently visited Southfork Ranch again, along with lots of other filming locations from the show. Here's our complete Dallas playlist with more videos, if you're interested: ruclips.net/p/PLWh-RJ-D1iWVCiL_bEipSkICBJqvpKFu2
I watched bits and pieces of this show as a kid in the 80s because my parents thought it was too graphic for me at the time. We lived in Zimbabwe at the time and BOY WAS IT A HIT! My mother would walk a mile clear across campus to the neighbours at night just to watch an episode (when our TV broke). At first, my favourite character was Bobby, but I thought JR had an accent, hat and swagger that was really cool. Later on, he became my favourite. Thanks for sharing your tour of Southfork and taking us along for the ride. Yeeehaaa!!! 👊😎
Oh wow, thanks for sharing your memories Ken! Your mom was a dedicated Dallas fan. I love it!! 💕 Larry Hagman was a wonderful actor. He was the perfect man to play J.R. How could one man be such a scoundrel and yet so likable at the same time?! He’s a brilliant character! Thanks for stopping by our channel. 😊
Amazing to think they all used to film there in 1978, abit sad, but time moves on for everyone it really was a great show Larry was a real character on and off the screen, they were all great actors.
So true. It must have been amazing to see so many cast and crew at South Fork when it was an active set. Great show, one of the best! Thanks for stopping by our channel Steven.
Loved this! I 'm probably about 30 years older than you guys so when Dallas got going I was a maniacal fan! Still love to look back on it. Thanks so much for sharing ❤
Cool, thanks Shirley! Although we were too young to enjoy it the first time around, we've since become "maniacal fans" too LOL!! You might also enjoy our more recent Dallas videos - here's a link to our entire playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLWh-RJ-D1iWVCiL_bEipSkICBJqvpKFu2
I was able to visit in February. It was soooo cold 🥶. I missed Viewing Jock's car. This video presentation was well made and captured the experience. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Awesome, thank you! We went back another time in the summer, and it was hot as blazes... a guy from our tour even jumped in the pool, LOL!! Here's a link to that video if you're interested: ruclips.net/video/wD-74WFhLO8/видео.html
Hi Abby and Keith I enjoyed the tour it is really Beautiful there. Thank you for taking us along. So until next time God Bless you both and have a Blessed Evening.
Thank you for such a well made set of videos, I remember as a kid being unwell and went downstairs and asking mom what she was watching. I asked if I could watch too....mom said "yes...if you're quiet." From then on I was hooked. Your videos are excellent. Thank you so much for rekindling memories. ♡
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching and sharing your memories of Dallas! We just got back from another trip there, and our season 4 filming locations video premieres tomorrow... stay tuned!
Hello, We went there a few years ago. It's a beautiiful and interesting place. I was amazed at how small the patio and esp. the pool seemed compared to on the show! great video and Thanks for sharing.
Awesome tour guys! We were a little young when Dallas was on, but definitely remember the show, and how popular it was. The ranch looked beautiful, really liked the drone shots!
If you can ever get access, would love to see the driveway where JR walked around with Pam, in the pilot and he asked her how much it would take to annul their marriage. Would love to see that, where SueEllen rode around drunk on a horse and and inside the cottage JR shared with SE. Awesome work !
Thanks for watching! The closest we've been able to get to the original "Southfork" which is now called Brinkmann Ranch, is by flying over with our drone. Unfortunately, the original home and cottage burned down. Here's a link to our video where we visited that location: ruclips.net/video/NxD8cFmaqm4/видео.html
superbellabeau Cool! Glad you went to Dallas, it’s a great city! Yes, you can visit Southfork Ranch, and they also have an event center that hosts weddings and such. In fact, you can even spend the night in the house... if you’re willing to pay $2,000! 🤠
Such a blast from the past. I started to ask how J.R. is doing these days but then I remembered... Anyway, I'm glad you guys had a great time visiting.
Our pleasure, thanks Robert! If you're ever in the Dallas area, it's totally worth a visit to Southfork. After making this video, we've become huge fans of the show (which we binge-watched during the quarantine, ha!) We went back this summer and made another video, showing more of the outside. Here's a link in case you interested: ruclips.net/video/wD-74WFhLO8/видео.html
I have seen other video tours of Southfork over the years, and have always been surprised how different the inside of the real house was compared to the interior of the house on the show. The only thing that was the same that I could tell was the patio and the pool area. To be honest, I loved the inside of the house more than the real house. Huge fan of the show. I just started rewatching it on the IMDB streaming channel.
The interior with the winding staircase, etc was modeled after a home in Highland Park, near downtown Dallas, they built sets in California to match. The real house is way too small to fit film crews, etc.
The homeowners at the time of the original series insisted that the show could only film exterior scenes and they could only film in July and august. They did not want filming going on during their children’s school year. A couple of scenes in the reboot were filmed in the house and Barbara Bel Geddes had the set designers build a replica of the kitchen for the set on the soundstage because she thought it fit Miss Ellie perfectly.
something I don't know if anyone knows but lorimar originally wanted john wayne to play the role of jock but he was battling cancer at the time so he recommended his good friend jim davis who at that time was homeless and living in his car the same car jock drove on the show.
Have you checked the Southfork Ranch gift shop? They have an active Facebook account, and they do live sales on Fridays. I recommend inquiring with the folks there. They might be able to help you.
I looked it up and it said that the episode that revealed who shot JR had an audience of 83 million in the US alone! Wow that’s a lot of viewers back in 1980. TV shows of today will never have that many. It’s so funny you guys are into the eighties because you are kinda young. I still remember the music, the movies and the tv shows from then but I was in my mid 20s to 30 then. I still listen to 80s music now lol! It was my favorite generation haha!
Hi Jeanne!! Wow, that’s crazy to think that many people tuned in, ha! Yes, we were young back then (elementary school up until early high school years) but I definitely agree that the music and pop culture was the best! We mostly gravitate to the music from our youth. Dallas was such an iconic and long-running show, lasting throughout the entire decade and then some! Having driven by Southfork so many times, it was exciting to finally go inside the “mansion” which actually wasn’t very big by today’s standards, lol! Thanks for watching 😊
Yes, the revelation of who shot JR, was the most watched tv episode in tv history, when it aired. That only lasted a few years, the 1983 MASH finale now holds the record for most watched tv episode in tv history, Who Shot JR remains at # 2. With all the channels these days, those numbers will never be beaten. If a show has 30 million these days, that’s HUGE.
I was absolutely crushed the first time I went to Southfork to discover the show was not filmed inside the house. I wanted to see the grand staircase and where they used to have drinks before dinner!!!
The interiors were modeled after a home in Dallas, with the winding staircase, etc. They filmed in that house early in season 1, 1978-79, renamed season 2 for the DVDs.
That's awesome!! We have been binge-watching Dallas this year and loving it! Since Dallas is my hometown, it's been fun figuring out all the places where they filmed there. We've covered seasons 1-3 so far, and our season 4 "Who shot J.R.?" video premieres tomorrow! Stay tuned & thanks for watching!!
Hi Mutt! Thanks for watching our video! I think the tour guide was referring to the Dallas Reboot which was filmed using the interiors at Southfork. You’re right, the interiors of the original series were Hollywood sets after season 1.
@@Our80sLife They used the outside of Southfork in the Reboot BUT again the interior was on a sound stage in Dallas the ONLY time the interior of southfork was shown was the Special that they did RETURN TO SOUTHFORK.
I’ve been to several tours and and every time I notice errors the tour guides say on the tour, this just being one. Even Sally has given false info. Lol
@@Our80sLife Southfork is a great place to visit. The only time the interior of the mansion was used was in the second movie “War of the Ewing’s” and the Reunion: RETURN TO SOUTHFORK. They didn’t always shoot all exterior scenes there either. A duplicate pool and outside area was created on the soundstage due to the heat. Then they never used real Southfork exteriors in the final two seasons. All was on soundstage. Thanks for sharing your video!
Growing up in Murphy as a teenager was great. Tourist people from all around would ask "Can you tell me how to get to Southfork". We would gladly direct them to Southfork Mobile Home Park. 😊
LOL!! Well played. BTW, we revisited Southfork and released a new video today. Here's a link to that one, if you're interested: ruclips.net/video/wD-74WFhLO8/видео.html Thanks for watching!
I remember being a kid and passing that house every Sunday on our way to church. Just a big private residence, (Duncan House) . One Sunday we drive through and traffic is practically stopped in the middle of the 2 lane FM 2551 with people standing in the road taking pictures. This went on for a few months then Parker got a Police Department. The Chief , Parker and the state had many No Parking, Stopping and Standing signs put up. It was only the beginning of a long era.
I really hope to visit The Ranch one day before I die. Its just very expensive to get there. Maybe one day. I would love to accidently fall into the pool where the Ewing's swam. Hope to have breakfast on that porch one day.
I so happen to remember WAY back,,, last week in July, 1985,,, my Mom and I drove to the SouthFork ranch property and went on a self walking tour of the outside,, and took pictures (includig of the swimming pool). Per my fuzzy memory from that glorious day,, there was some form of museum,, right outside the main property. During mid Summer 1985,, they were in between Dallas TV seasons,,, so no filming was taking place. Per my memory,, during the May, 1985 CLIFFhanger,,, Bobby Ewing was RUN down by Pam's sister (Katherine Wentworth) as she was speeding along in her car in Pam's driveway. Per the next season opener (Sept/Oct, 1985) the story had Bobby passing away,, and his funeral. That whole season ended up being a farce,, as it was Pam's DREAM season. Bobby showed up in the shower and came back to life at start of the following season. Hey!!! As that 1985/1986 period was supposedly Pam's "Dream",, I'm just wondering IF the 38 years that have passed since then have been an overall DREAM for all of us!!! Maybe we will all WAKE up tomorrow morning,, and it will be that same very date in late Sept, 1986 ,,, in all REALITY (just as we all were,, and WHERE we were). Wouldn't all that be "peachy"??? I could sure,, "go for that"!!! :-) :-)
I've been to south fork twice and i don't think there is a bigger thrill for a dallas fan then to go the south fork just seeing the inside I even saw the room where jr was killed in the reboot but the best part for me was sticking my hand in the south fork pool.
Nice!! We agree, the poolside (and patio breakfast table) are the most iconic parts of the property for Dallas fans. In case you missed it, you might enjoy our other Dallas videos: ruclips.net/p/PLWh-RJ-D1iWVCiL_bEipSkICBJqvpKFu2
WOW!!!!! I’m a die hard fan of “Dallas.” I have been watching & continue to watch the show. My favorite character is still Bobby Ewing. But I like them all too. It’s on my bucket list to someday go see Southfork Ranch in person. I have a question though. I’m legally blind & disabled, do they provide sighted guide tours? Is the house handicapped accessible? Is it in the city of “Dallas?” Thank you very much for this awesome video. When did you actually go see the ranch? Thank you. PS: I wonder how often the actors go there to greet the fans?
I want to write that my name is Josh Tate and i want to write that Warner Brothers studios is planning to make all 356 episodes from every season of DALLAS, upgraded in a brand new HD picture quality, available to stream on the streaming service MAX in the year 2023.
I luv Dallas Bobby& Pam where my favorite but we all luv to hate jr he made the show can’t wait to visit my brother has already been there he is a Dallas fan also thank you for your video’s.. lee from Alabama
Good question! On the tour, they showed us three bedrooms downstairs and the large master bedroom upstairs, but there were a few doors upstairs that were closed to the public (used for bridal suites and things of that nature) so I'd venture to guess there are at least 5-6 total.
its nostalgic. I was a kid when my mom started watching Dallas in the Philippines, now I am actually binge-watching it. I think one of the reason it's successful is they never changed the theme song, the introduction was slightly different due to changing times in Dallas. I cannot believe how I found Pamela really annoying now lol.
We’re binge-watching too, and loving every minute!! I remember hearing about the filming and seeing the hubbub growing up in Dallas, but I was too young to appreciate how great the show is... so much drama! Now I get it 😊
Ha ha, nope. The previous owner actually tried drilling but without success. If you visit Southfork, you can see the remains of the framework from an old, failed derrick.
We wouldn't doubt it. Southfork held a very special place in his heart. Also, he was originally from Fort Worth and passed away in Dallas, so that's likely. I consulted findagrave.com which authenticated, so it's probably true. Thanks Matt!
who were your favorite characters? The only thing I dont like is the inside of the house. It does not look like it looked in the years when it was filmed.
love your guys videos! thank you so much for them, i noticed thou that the graves shown of J.R. and Eleanor aren't the original graves used on the show, atleast not the ones used on the reboot as they're different for example you can see that here if you see them side by side - ruclips.net/video/aY7OuSJFJso/видео.html
Thanks for stopping by and watching our videos! Interesting, they look similar to me, but we actually haven't watched the reboot yet! Since we were newcomers to the show last year and started binge-watching during the quarantine, we're just now on the dream season (season 9.) We've heard great things about the reboot though, and we're looking forward to seeing it!
@@Our80sLife I actually had never watched the original show and started watching the reboot when it aired from episode 1 to the last of season 3, i loved the show, and ofcourse grew up with the fact who the Ewings were but outside of that i had never seen the original run, today i got my boxset of the entire 14 season run + the 4 movies.
Wow!! You’re in for a real treat! That box set is cool! We’ve been watching it on IMDb, which has commercials but at least it’s free. It’s SO good!! ❤️
Well I have to apologize. I never really cared for the show. To be honest with you the only episode I ever watched was the who shot jr. So when I saw that you were doing the filming location of Dallas I did not watch it at first Then when you put up the second video. I started to watch it but thought I better go watch the first one. Then that video directed to SF ranch video and here I am. I'll comment on season 2 when I watch it. Which will be shortly.
Thanks for being such a loyal viewer Tammy! We must confess, we only recently became fans of Dallas after visiting Southfork last year. We've been binge-watching it (free on imdb through Amazon) and we're hooked!
The murder scene set that's shown on the house tour is from the Dallas reboot when JR gets killed in Mexico. This was actually filmed at Southfork Ranch, shortly before Larry Hagman passed away in real life :(
I do not like the way they changed the inside of the house. It does not look like in the 80's. too much has changed. The front staircase has changed so many times. The dining area showed round windowsills but on the outside it was different.
The inside of the house was never actually used for filming, so that's why it looks different to you. Different homes in Dallas were used for seasons 1 and 2. After that, the interior sets were built on a soundstage, along with some exteriors and even a pool!

It's sweet that the show gives you happy, nostalgic memories of your mom.
Loved this definitely have to go see it I’m probably the only person my age who watches this show I’m 24 been a fan for about 11 years anybody else near my age here

Dallas was such an iconic and long-running show, lasting throughout the entire decade and then some! Having driven by Southfork so many times, it was exciting to finally go inside the “mansion” which actually wasn’t very big by today’s standards, lol! Thanks for watching 😊
Yes, the revelation of who shot JR, was the most watched tv episode in tv history, when it aired. That only lasted a few years, the 1983 MASH finale now holds the record for most watched tv episode in tv history, Who Shot JR remains at # 2. With all the channels these days, those numbers will never be beaten. If a show has 30 million these days, that’s HUGE.
@@TheEwing69 you are so right!
And approx 350 million world wide. Dallas was huge here in the UK.
I was absolutely crushed the first time I went to Southfork to discover the show was not filmed inside the house. I wanted to see the grand staircase and where they used to have drinks before dinner!!!
Bummer! 🙁 It’s too bad the interiors were all filmed on sound stages in California! Thanks for watching!
The interiors were modeled after a home in Dallas, with the winding staircase, etc. They filmed in that house early in season 1, 1978-79, renamed season 2 for the DVDs.
Barbara Bel Geddes ( Miss Ellie) the best on Dallas 👍 🤎 🥰🙏🕯
OMG!!!! I watched and own the entire DALLAS series! "Who shot J.R?' 😂
That's awesome!! We have been binge-watching Dallas this year and loving it! Since Dallas is my hometown, it's been fun figuring out all the places where they filmed there. We've covered seasons 1-3 so far, and our season 4 "Who shot J.R.?" video premieres tomorrow! Stay tuned & thanks for watching!!
I’ve been binge watching Dallas this week!
@@Our80sLife NICE!!
Hey sir what a beautiful lady you have there..lucky fella.
My mother watched Dallas until 1987...
Awesome! 🥰
Thanks Ellan! 🤗
7:07 Jr never had a bed like that ... They were on the set in MGM and it was all on the floor No steps up to the bed,.
Hi Mutt! Thanks for watching our video! I think the tour guide was referring to the Dallas Reboot which was filmed using the interiors at Southfork. You’re right, the interiors of the original series were Hollywood sets after season 1.
@@Our80sLife They used the outside of Southfork in the Reboot BUT again the interior was on a sound stage in Dallas the ONLY time the interior of southfork was shown was the Special that they did RETURN TO SOUTHFORK.
I’ve been to several tours and and every time I notice errors the tour guides say on the tour, this just being one. Even Sally has given false info. Lol
@@Our80sLife Southfork is a great place to visit. The only time the interior of the mansion was used was in the second movie “War of the Ewing’s” and the Reunion: RETURN TO SOUTHFORK. They didn’t always shoot all exterior scenes there either. A duplicate pool and outside area was created on the soundstage due to the heat. Then they never used real Southfork exteriors in the final two seasons. All was on soundstage. Thanks for sharing your video!
My favorite bit…’bidet out of order’
LOL!!
Growing up in Murphy as a teenager was great. Tourist people from all around would ask "Can you tell me how to get to Southfork". We would gladly direct them to Southfork Mobile Home Park. 😊
LOL!! Well played. BTW, we revisited Southfork and released a new video today. Here's a link to that one, if you're interested: ruclips.net/video/wD-74WFhLO8/видео.html Thanks for watching!
I remember being a kid and passing that house every Sunday on our way to church. Just a big private residence, (Duncan House) . One Sunday we drive through and traffic is practically stopped in the middle of the 2 lane FM 2551 with people standing in the road taking pictures. This went on for a few months then Parker got a Police Department. The Chief , Parker and the state had many No Parking, Stopping and Standing signs put up. It was only the beginning of a long era.
Pour les constructions on voit bien avec Google Maps.
C'est génial la vidéo du ranch
My God ! I didn't realize how big it was.
It's a nice, big place but definitely not as large as it's depicted on TV!
OMG, this is hilarious, never knew they did tours pretty need to see
JR was shot in his office when he turned around Kristin shot him. Was that true?
I really hope to visit The Ranch one day before I die. Its just very expensive to get there. Maybe one day. I would love to accidently fall into the pool where the Ewing's swam. Hope to have breakfast on that porch one day.
I so happen to remember WAY back,,, last week in July, 1985,,, my Mom and I drove to the SouthFork ranch property and went on a self walking tour of the outside,, and took pictures (includig of the swimming pool). Per my fuzzy memory from that glorious day,, there was some form of museum,, right outside the main property. During mid Summer 1985,, they were in between Dallas TV seasons,,, so no filming was taking place. Per my memory,, during the May, 1985 CLIFFhanger,,, Bobby Ewing was RUN down by Pam's sister (Katherine Wentworth) as she was speeding along in her car in Pam's driveway. Per the next season opener (Sept/Oct, 1985) the story had Bobby passing away,, and his funeral. That whole season ended up being a farce,, as it was Pam's DREAM season. Bobby showed up in the shower and came back to life at start of the following season. Hey!!! As that 1985/1986 period was supposedly Pam's "Dream",, I'm just wondering IF the 38 years that have passed since then have been an overall DREAM for all of us!!! Maybe we will all WAKE up tomorrow morning,, and it will be that same very date in late Sept, 1986 ,,, in all REALITY (just as we all were,, and WHERE we were). Wouldn't all that be "peachy"??? I could sure,, "go for that"!!! :-) :-)
That sounds dreamy indeed! 💖
Rip Barbara Bel Geddes (Miss Ellie)🕯
We love Ms. Ellie! She's my favorite character.
@@Our80sLife Mein Favorit ist auch Miss Ellie 👍👍❤
I've been to south fork twice and i don't think there is a bigger thrill for a dallas fan then to go the south fork just seeing the inside I even saw the room where jr was killed in the reboot but the best part for me was sticking my hand in the south fork pool.
Nice!! We agree, the poolside (and patio breakfast table) are the most iconic parts of the property for Dallas fans. In case you missed it, you might enjoy our other Dallas videos: ruclips.net/p/PLWh-RJ-D1iWVCiL_bEipSkICBJqvpKFu2
WOW!!!!! I’m a die hard fan of “Dallas.” I have been watching & continue to watch the show. My favorite character is still Bobby Ewing. But I like them all too. It’s on my bucket list to someday go see Southfork Ranch in person. I have a question though. I’m legally blind & disabled, do they provide sighted guide tours? Is the house handicapped accessible? Is it in the city of “Dallas?” Thank you very much for this awesome video. When did you actually go see the ranch? Thank you. PS: I wonder how often the actors go there to greet the fans?
It's in Murphy, which is northeast of Dallas. My sister used to live down the road from there.
I want to write that my name is Josh Tate and i want to write that Warner Brothers studios is planning to make all 356 episodes from every season of DALLAS, upgraded in a brand new HD picture quality, available to stream on the streaming service MAX in the year 2023.
Wilson Wilson was the name of the next door neighbor of Tim Taylor from Home Improvement
Oh wow, that's a blast from the past! Great show!! Thanks for the reminder Tammy.
I luv Dallas Bobby& Pam where my favorite but we all luv to hate jr he made the show can’t wait to visit my brother has already been there he is a Dallas fan also thank you for your video’s.. lee from Alabama
Awesome! We're glad you're enjoying our Dallas videos. We hope you get to visit some day. Thanks Lee!
I want information about purchasing or renting pricing
We recommend checking the official Southfork website: southforkranch.com/
Very nice. How many bedrooms does the house have?
Good question! On the tour, they showed us three bedrooms downstairs and the large master bedroom upstairs, but there were a few doors upstairs that were closed to the public (used for bridal suites and things of that nature) so I'd venture to guess there are at least 5-6 total.
@@Our80sLife Thank you very much. That would be a bedroom for Jock & Ellie, JR & Sue Ellen, bobby & Pam and Lucy leaving two left over.
@@LBF522 JR' s son had a room and Christopher
@@jnalex100 So true. Thanks. Shame Lorimar did not put some thought into the inside of the house.
My name is Josh and i just want to write that 's surprised that DALLAS isn't available to stream on HBOMAX
Hi Josh. We watch Dallas on Amazon Prime video. You can stream it for free (with commercials) using the app.
Damn, I thought Wilson was Cams’ dad for a second. (Modern Family) 😂
Good one! Modern Family is one of our all-time favorite shows!
AKA Our 80's Life For sure! Same here 😍
its nostalgic. I was a kid when my mom started watching Dallas in the Philippines, now I am actually binge-watching it. I think one of the reason it's successful is they never changed the theme song, the introduction was slightly different due to changing times in Dallas. I cannot believe how I found Pamela really annoying now lol.
We’re binge-watching too, and loving every minute!! I remember hearing about the filming and seeing the hubbub growing up in Dallas, but I was too young to appreciate how great the show is... so much drama! Now I get it 😊
@@Our80sLife Yup agree!
One thing I always was curious about, is there really oil on Southfork Ranch, it being Texas I guess it’s possible!
Ha ha, nope. The previous owner actually tried drilling but without success. If you visit Southfork, you can see the remains of the framework from an old, failed derrick.
@@Our80sLife I did not know that very interesting
NaQisDude:Abby, @Our80sLife, Southfork Ranch is Terrific!
It's my understanding that Larry Hagmans ashes were scattered at Southfork.
We wouldn't doubt it. Southfork held a very special place in his heart. Also, he was originally from Fort Worth and passed away in Dallas, so that's likely. I consulted findagrave.com which authenticated, so it's probably true. Thanks Matt!
@@Our80sLife you're welcome. Makes going there even more special.
who were your favorite characters? The only thing I dont like is the inside of the house. It does not look like it looked in the years when it was filmed.
My favorite Miss Ellie ( Barbara Bel Geddes) 🤎
You don’t turn down JR haha!
how fun! what a cool place to visit! new friends here! hope you will come visit us too!
Hi there! Welcome to our channel 😊
You guys should smile more.
😄
🇷🇴🇷🇴ROMANIA🇷🇴🇷🇴😉🤗🤗😁😁
Greetings from the USA! 🇺🇸
so yall said that ranch was in dallas but its actually in plano so...
mbnba ! Well if you want to get technical, it’s actually in Parker.
It is not in Plano, TX it is in Parker, TX...there is a difference.
love your guys videos! thank you so much for them, i noticed thou that the graves shown of J.R. and Eleanor aren't the original graves used on the show, atleast not the ones used on the reboot as they're different for example you can see that here if you see them side by side - ruclips.net/video/aY7OuSJFJso/видео.html
Thanks for stopping by and watching our videos! Interesting, they look similar to me, but we actually haven't watched the reboot yet! Since we were newcomers to the show last year and started binge-watching during the quarantine, we're just now on the dream season (season 9.) We've heard great things about the reboot though, and we're looking forward to seeing it!
@@Our80sLife I actually had never watched the original show and started watching the reboot when it aired from episode 1 to the last of season 3, i loved the show, and ofcourse grew up with the fact who the Ewings were but outside of that i had never seen the original run, today i got my boxset of the entire 14 season run + the 4 movies.
Wow!! You’re in for a real treat! That box set is cool! We’ve been watching it on IMDb, which has commercials but at least it’s free. It’s SO good!! ❤️
Well I have to apologize. I never really cared for the show. To be honest with you the only episode I ever watched was the who shot jr.
So when I saw that you were doing the filming location of Dallas I did not watch it at first
Then when you put up the second video. I started to watch it but thought I better go watch the first one. Then that video directed to SF ranch video and here I am. I'll comment on season 2 when I watch it. Which will be shortly.
Thanks for being such a loyal viewer Tammy! We must confess, we only recently became fans of Dallas after visiting Southfork last year. We've been binge-watching it (free on imdb through Amazon) and we're hooked!
I thought the house not there no more do to fire
The fire was fiction, just movie magic. But we thought they did a great job with the special effects on that one so it did seem real. 😉
You’re thinking of Cloyce Box Ranch ( from the original 5 Episodes season 1), that burned down in 1987.
*EEEEEEEEEEE!!!*
😂
In the house there was a murder scene. I dont remember a murder in the house ever. Who was murdered there?
The murder scene set that's shown on the house tour is from the Dallas reboot when JR gets killed in Mexico. This was actually filmed at Southfork Ranch, shortly before Larry Hagman passed away in real life :(
Wilson Wilson? Hmmm, why not just leave it @ just
PLAINNN Wilson as a first and last name both merged into ONE name.🤔🧐
Right?! He was a nice guy, very hospitable. Funny name, and we definitely won't forget him, lol! Thanks for watching!
Wow, so sad that this "tour guide" is giving out so much false information about Southfork and the series.
I agree. The JR murder scene was actually in South America per the storyline. He wasn't murdered at Southfork.
I do not like the way they changed the inside of the house. It does not look like in the 80's. too much has changed. The front staircase has changed so many times. The dining area showed round windowsills but on the outside it was different.
The inside of the house was never actually used for filming, so that's why it looks different to you. Different homes in Dallas were used for seasons 1 and 2. After that, the interior sets were built on a soundstage, along with some exteriors and even a pool!
🎉yes in Burbank Mgm studio. The fake mansion was bigger than the original
