Saturday nights were Dallas night back in the early 80s. bleeping loved that show. JR was undoubtedly one of THEE best TV characters of all time. If not GOAT. The whole world got totally caught up on the entire "Who Shot JR" storyline. Everyone was OBSESSED.Dallas was my first love. Mainly because that is what my Mum watched. I was right there with her though.
oh Sunset Beach was the best thing ever, the crazy crazy storylines, cursed jewels, evil twins, stealing babiesKnot's Landing was my absolute FAVE!! You're right @Jelly Bean about it being shown on the BBC in the afternoons. My guilty pleasure. I'm sure it was repeated on the older version of UKTV Play at some stage. It would be great to see it again today but unfortunately I can't find any links. Who remembers Val with the crazy hairstyles and her mad mum - Lilimae Clements who played the most ridiculous musical instrument at the drop of a hat! We were also introduced to a very young Alec Baldwin as Val's brother who was a trainee minister!
Sunset Beach anyone?
I love William Devane. He's 83 now.I vaguely remember Knotts Landing being shown in the afternoons on the BBC in the late 80s/ early 90s unless that is a false memory
I'm sure I used to watch it when my baby daughter was having her afternoon nap. Gary Ewing moving to California. There was a no doubt frowned upon now relationship between a very young Nicolette Sheridan (I think was her name?) and William Devane. I think she was about 18 and he was in his 40s?

He was really attractive wasn't he?I love William Devane. He's 83 now.
Yes Wogan called Lucy Ewing the poison dwarf and would discuss the episodes every week on his radio show.
He did help make Dallas more popular.
JR - " gimme a bourbon and branch." Never knew what that was but it sounded great and I loved that his secretary was called Sly.
I was always team Bobby & Pam. It was a shame they didn't manage to get Victoria Principal back for the reboot, even though they heavily hinted that Pam would return. In the end, VP herself said she wasn't even approached. Such a let down for the fans.I could prattle on all day about the 80s Soaps and would probably make VIP status within 48 hours! When I watched Dallas first time round I was always routing for Bobby & Pam to stay together and that awful "Jenna Wade" to keep her sticky paws off Baaawbee! When re-watching I suddenly realised how "wet" Pam actually was and her continuous whining about the Barnes/Ewing feud set my teeth on edge. "Swellin" and JR had tremendous chemistry on screen. I always found it quite sad that he didn't really want her until someone else had their eye on her and then he went all out to win her back. They'd be happy for at least an episode or two but then JR would spy some pretty young thing and the cycle would begin again with Swellin reaching for her trusty bottle of vodka.....
I've always heard that the actual ranch used for Southwark is quite small. It was always blowing a gale though.In the earlier shots of Southfork it always used to amuse me that they would be sunning themselves by the pool or at the annual Ewing Rodeo whilst it was blowing a force 8 gale!
