The most iconic segment of Dallas theme song is the evolution of the guitar riff... Some sort of expectation "Ok, here we go, what they bring me today?"
Are you talking about right before the title card? I've always enjoyed the variations, also. Season 9 has no guitar in that part, however, and I kinda liked that it didn't for that version.
I read many years ago that the season 3 episode "Return Engagement", the one where Gary and Valene got remarried and moved to Knots Landing, had its own special opening that included Ted Shackleford and Joan Van Ark. This was only on the original CBS airing though so might not even exist anymore. It would be interesting to see how they fit in the two extra actors and whether they had to have a longer version of the music.
I just want to write that my name is Josh and i'm writing that i believe that Warner Bros. studios should make all 356 episodes from all 14 seasons of DALLAS available to stream on their streaming MAX on December 1, 2024.
There is a second half intro for the 3rd season without Jim Davis, as he died halfway through the season, which is why Jock Ewing was removed from the series.
Great video as always. But Season 3 had two different intros, the first half when it shows the cast, all 3 pictures move, in the second version (which is featured here), only the middle moves the whole time, while the ones on the left and right move for a split second and freeze.
@@bmasters1981 Good question. Just a guess, but perhaps they experimented with different versions of the opening and later decided they preferred the one with the freeze.
Two things I didn't realise as a preschool little boy that I now do as a middle aged man: the theme tune just went mega funky by 1980 and went from bass guitar to horned clavs. You can even hear a moog doing sub bass... Two: Lucy was mega cute.
The 3:10 Section always confused me because I didn't remember that Episode now I realize it's from when Gary #1 played By David Ackroyd was working in The Study and Bobby encouraged him to take a break that JR was firmly against. This was when Gary cracked under pressure (again!) and left Southfork.
I always loved Barbara bel Geddes and Charlene Tilton in the beginning. Lucy was so bad I remember even when I was little I couldn't believe what she was up to!
No - they are indeed from seasons 1, 2 and 3. He didn't appear in every episode of Season 2, which is probably why he isn't in the credits, though he was seen more as the season went on. But he IS in the one for season 3, which is the last one in this video.
@@stevejones6521 It depends if you count the mini series as first season or not. Counting the mini series as season 1, the Cliff appears not before season 3 in the main cast.
When DALLAS began as a summer replacement miniseries, Linda Gray and Steve Kanaly were not yet included within the show's opening credits. Afterwards, both were added.
@@W81Researcher Linda Gray appeared in the miniseries but she was not given proper recognition in the opening credits until the next season. Linda humorously reminisced : "I virtually had no lines of dialogue at the show's beginning. I could have simply been the Ewing family masseuse rather than JR's wife. So when the camera was on me, I silently acted with my eyes." Venom came out. And a star was born.
Its 45 years later and just as awsome as it was back then...... Happy Anniversary DALLAS!!!!!!!!
As a kid, I did not understand the idea of Dallas, but I loved this music.

There was just something about Barbara Belle Geddes as Miss Ellie. A simple, yet strong elegant lady. A true matriarch
The same charita Bauer as Bert Bauer of guiding light what amazing talent actress forever missed rest in peace.
She was also one of the most utterly stunningly beautiful women to ever grace our screens. Absolutely divine.🌹
Dallas One Of The Greatest Tv Shows Of All Time, All Great Openings,Every Season
Thé french version was a big hit in France ! I love the French version ..so strong ..so drama …Just a Legend

I heard that too
Valene and her White hat and Gloves .?? XD
Knots Landing had phenomenal opening credits
The crazy 80s prime time soaps knew how to open the show.
Thank You, Dallas, sezonul 1,2,3...Sue Ellen, Bobby,Lucy ,Pam !🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼
The season opening @5:15 is still known by some fans as the Dallas disco music opening.
How come Miss Ellie only got one pic in those early intros?
Best show of all time
Great show !!!!!
I miss Dallas in prime time.
Brilliant. I never knew about the pre Ken Kerchal mid-season 2 intro. Cheers
Thanks for the uploads !!

Jim died one episode left for the seasons finale, he was kept on the opening credits till the end

Why would the composition of the opening change in the middle of Season 3?

1:48 the Texas flag is almost equal to the Chile flag 🇨🇱 , the difference is the size of the blue stripe.
Best theme songs Ever! Vert nostalgic 🥹

These are all season 1 not 2 and 3. Ken Kercheval was in the credits from Season 2 onwards as he was main cast.

The disco era of Dallas
I don't I ever seen this miss ellie opening a 4:08 it looks so rare
Época dos bons seriados
6:48 who knows which episode is the one that Ken Kercheval, Cliff Barnes is this clip from ? (the one in the middle where he smiles)
TImestamp 1:10 - this is not a Southfork Ranch! They must had used another house for season 1 completely.
What is that huge concert tower with holes in it?
Where was Linda Gray in the first one?
As it was a miniseries at that point, only the characters considered to be major were put in.
When DALLAS began as a summer replacement miniseries, Linda Gray and Steve Kanaly were not yet included within the show's opening credits. Afterwards, both were added.
@@kobrakitsch877 When it aired on Soapnet she was in it the first miniseries ep.

Took them long enough before they decided Ken Kercheval merited opening credits!?!
