Product Information
Pulling in viewers in their droves, DALLAS offered viewers a glimpse into the glamourous world of the Texan elite. Its mix of big hair, big shoulder pads, scandals, and melodrama proved to be a winning combination, catapulting the show into the echelons of soap opera royalty, and making it one of the biggest hits of the 1980s. Centred on the lives and affairs of the uber-rich Ewing family, DALLAS derived much of its drama from the decadent, materialistic values of the '80s; namely money, sex, and power. Starring Larry Hagman as the nefarious J.R. Ewing, the series also boasted a talented supporting cast, including Howard Keel, Patrick Duffy, Victoria Principal, Linda Gray, and many more. This release contains every episode from the show's twelfth series.Product Identifiers

Additional InformationHaving avoided getting shot by his frustrated wife, Sue Ellen (Linda Gray), at the end of DALLAS' 11th series, ruthless oil tycoon J.R. Ewing (Larry Hagman) decides to relax a bit as series 12 gets under way. Embarking on a hunting trip to Arkansas, serial philanderer J.R. has brief tryst with hillbilly gal Cally Harper (Cathy Podewell)--which turns out to be a major mistake when Cally's brothers, in cahoots with a crooked sheriff, contrive to have J.R. arrested and sentenced to a work farm! In order to save himself, J.R. agrees to divorce Sue Ellen and marry Cally--who isn't quite as vacuous and guileless as she looks. Once J.R. and Cally are hitched, the vengeful Sue Ellen purchases a movie studio for the express purpose of collaborating with screenwriter Don Lockwood (Ian McShane) on a shocking filmed expose of J.R. and his highly questionable business practices. (This collaboration reaps unexpected benefits when Sue Ellen and Lockwood are married!) Series 12 marks the exit of two long-time DALLAS regulars: Steve Kanaly, who plays J.R.'s half brother, Ray Krebbs, bids farewell early on in the series; and by mid-year, Linda Gray (aka Sue Ellen) is also gone. Conversely, Audrey Landers as Afton Cooper, former sister-in-law of J.R.'s niece Lucy (Charlene Tilton), returns after an absence of several seasons. Newcomers to the cast include George Kennedy as rival oil man Carter McKay, who after purchasing Ray Krebbs' ranch takes over Westar Oil and mounts a range war (both literal and figurative) against the Ewing family, hoping not only to destroy J.R. but also to remove Bobby Ewing (Patrick Duffy) as head man of Ewing Oil. The McKay-Ewing conflict would spread far beyond the boundaries of Texas and extend into the wilds of Washington, D.C., Austria, and Russia! Along with Carter McKay, Carter's unhappy wife, Rose (Jeri Gaile), and his profoundly troubled children, Tommy (J. Eddie Peck) and Tracy (Beth Toussaint), make their first appearances this series.
