Dallas was one of the most iconic TV series of all time, what happened to the stars?

I'm probably the only person on earth that never watched it.

I just have never been a nighttime TV show person.

It was incredibly popular here....all you glamorous Dallas folk with your annual oil barons ball. :P
Sue Ellen and Pammy were very beautiful, I loved everything about it..

The recent sequel fell flat though.

I watched the first episode back in 78 (?), that was enough for me :D

Linda Gray was through here a while back, plugging JR Bourbon.

A few years back I was working in Rhode Island, and the subject of TV Shows set in Texas came up in conversion.

They asked me which one was the most realistic, I told them King of The Hill by far ! :lol:

They revived it a couple of years ago but it only lasted a couple of seasons. Some of the actors reprised their roles... Sue Ellen, Bobby, JR, Cliff, Lucy, Ray, maybe a few others. I enjoyed watching it.

I think most people in Texas watch Downton Abby.

They are positioning themselves well to win their second Stanley Cup (but not so far tonight)

Linda Gray was doing the rounds on lunchtime TV shows here recently, she still looks fabulous.

Victoria Principle hasn't fared so well though, she looks pulled and plastic.

I've never watched Downton Abbey but it's on my list of shows to checkout one day. I just now started watching Sons of Anarchy. I didn't think I would be interested in that show at all and now I'm hooked.

My wife for one is addicted. I watched the last one which was about how the series depicts the way the servants interacted with the blue bloods. How they needed servants to help them with living their opulent lifestyle. Kind of interesting. I don't know if that was the last episode or not.

We watched about 1/2 of the first episode of Dallas.

When that episode had a hurricane that had everyone in Dallas worried--the hurricane was going to take out San Antonio and then come to Dallas--and everyone was wearing a coat to prepare............we said "nothing but bull---" and never watched again.

Once they were filming about 5 blocks from where I worked and everyone went nuts--but me.

I liked it well enough. But, I liked the spinoff, Knots Landing a lot more...

I enjoyed watching the reboot but it lost something when Larry Hagman died.
