Dallas - Season 9

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Soaps
starring: Larry Hagman, Victoria Principal, Barbara Bel Geddes, Linda Gray, Howard Keel

September 22, 2008
I have to say I love Dallas but found this season a bit hard going at times,Patrick Duffy's Bobby is sorely missed,the glances between Bobby and his ex wife Pam(Victoria Principal)were what kept fans glued to Dallas over the years,yearning for them to get togethor again.
Barbara Bel Geddes makes a welcome return as Miss Ellie,its interesting to find out in the documentary on this DVD,"Dallas:Seasons of Change" that when Barbare Bel Geddes after qutting over a pay deal,asked for her role back,when Donna Reed was announced as her replacement,was told it was too late.
This turned into a disaster for Dallas,Donna Reed was so different from the orginal Miss Ellie,more glamarous and not as Mumsy as the orginal,that Miss Reed was dropped ... Read More:

Dallas - Season 8

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Soaps
starring: Larry Hagman, Victoria Principal, Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray, Howard Keel

February 18, 2008
The '84-'85 season of "Dallas" was a pivotal one in many ways. It saw the show being somewhat overshadowed in the ratings by that ABC upstart "Dynasty"; it was the year that Barbara Bel Geddes was replaced by Oscar/Emmy-winner Donna Reed in the role of the beloved "Miss Ellie"; and it also saw the "departure" of another popular cast member at season's end. Though these developments may have been new and shocking to dedicated fans, there was enough of the old to keep 'em satisfied.

J.R. (the superb Larry Hagman) is still up to his same old tricks but fids himself smitten by the new girl in town, Mandy Winger, played by Deborah Shelton. Unlike other of the oilman's conquest, Winger really appeals to J.R., not just sexually but on an "intellectual" ... Read More:

Dallas - Season 7

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Soaps
starring: Larry Hagman, Howard Keel, Patrick Duffy, Victoria Principal, Linda Gray

September 17, 2007
"Dallas," though one of CBS's top-rated shows, was showing a slight drop in the ratings at the start of the show's SIXTH season.

The producers decided to add some controversy and spice to the show with a May-December romance between Sue Ellen (Linda Gray) and her son's trainer, Peter (special guest Christopher Atkins). There is also the end of the beloved marriage of Bobby (Patrick Duffy) and Pam (Victoria Principal) and the rekindling of a romance between Bobby and old flame Jenna Wade, now played by Priscilla Presley. The third highlight of the season sees the marriage of Ewing matriarch Miss Ellie (Barbara Bel Geddes) and Clayton Farlow (Howard Keel).

Of course, of all the characters, the dominant character is still J.R. Ewing, superbly played ... Read More:

Dallas: The Complete Season 1 and 2 (5 Disc Box Set) [1978]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Soaps
starring: Victoria Principal, Susan Howard, Larry Hagman, Sheree J. Wilson, Dack Rambo

November 01, 2004
Here we have it - the first of the classic "Dallas" DVD sets!

The series that originally started out as a TV mini-series (the first 5 episodes on this package now re-titled as 'Season 1') and eventually was responsible for coining the term 'Soap' as a blueprint for a number of imitations to come.

This groundbreaking, award-winning ratings-grabber told the story of the oil rich Ewing family, and focused on the trials and tribulations of their everyday lives of power, wealth, love, greed, lust, and ambition. There are some wonderfully-written character portrayals and story lines that unfold in these early episodes which primarily centred around the events of youngest Ewing sibling, Bobby and his new bride, Pamela. All is not well from the off as we discover ... Read More:

Dallas: Complete Season 6

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Soaps
starring: Larry Hagman, Howard Keel, Patrick Duffy, Victoria Principal, Linda Gray

February 19, 2007
Here comes another season of J.R.'s (Larry Hagman) double-dealing ways as he attempts, this time, to wrench control of Ewing Oil from his brother and his mother. The body count rises, literally and figuratively, as the dastardly anti-hero works his machinations for his ultimate ends.

New characters are introduced that play important parts in the developing story line while other characters find themselves more embroiled in the ongoing saga of the Ewing clan.

As far as the new are concerned, prominent among those are Holly Harwood (Lois Chiles) as a reluctant ally to J.R. She finds herself initially fascinated by the oil man but soon sees the real J.R. and eventually must decide where her allegiance lies.

Mark Grayson (John Beck) becomes the "third ... Read More:

Dallas - Season 4

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Soaps
starring: Larry Hagman, Barbara Bel Geddes, Patrick Duffy, Victoria Principal, Jim Davis

May 22, 2006
Now this is when Dallas got seriously good. Swellin stands by her man when he's riddled with bullets, but once JR's on the mend, Swellin hits the bottle, and their turbulent marriage lights up the screen. Dallas really is soap at its best, and all the favourites are there, plus some new characters, to spice up Series 4. However, the most successful themes are familiar: JR being dastardly, Swellin's lip quivering, bun fights at the Ewing Barbecue, poor Miss Ellie trying to keep the clan together, Bobby being perfect and more gratituous shots of the original Pammy in her swimsuit, long before lycra and silicone were the norm. And for all female fans, it's worth it just to see the fashion. Hark back to a time when stilletos matched your clutch bag, and bubble perms were the latest invention for hair. ... Read More:

Dallas - Season 3 Box Set

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Soaps
starring: Larry Hagman, Ken Kercheval, Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray, Victoria Principal

September 26, 2005
"Dallas's" place in television history is cemented and Larry Hagman's "J.R. Ewing" ranks as one of the medium's most despicable yet captivating characters. That said, the third season (actually the SECOND full one) has more to tout than Mary Martin's son and the cliffhanger-to-end-all-cliffhangers, "A House Divided".

This is the season that introduced Mary Crosby's wickedly alluring "Kristen Sheppard". The role had been originated by Coleen Camp in two earlier episodes but Bing's daughter made it her own, assuring her place in the annuls of television crime with an episode that would premiere in the following season. Also on hand is Martha Stewart as Sue Ellen's mother. Stewart had a lengthy Hollywood career and is best remembered for her motherly roles, having played Charlton Heston's mom ... Read More:

i become i die-hard neighbours fan whilst in my mother's womb!! i've visited the set three times, the first two times i fainted from excitement. the third time I got a neighbours tattoo and a restraining order. The DVD is a masterpiece of nostalgia and would recommend it to any person, whether your a neighbours die-hard fan where it has become the centre of your life and everything revolves around it, or not. I bought 5 copies just in case a lost them or they got damaged and watch all 5 of them through each day......Two thumbs up!

Dynasty: Season Three, Vol. One [1982] (REGION 1) (NTSC)

directed by: Alf Kjellin, Curtis Harrington, Gabrielle Beaumont, Lorraine Senna, Richard Kinon

I'm surprised to be the first reviewer for this title as, although a Dynasty fan, I much prefer the later season's to the early 80's episodes which take place before the show really found its (crazy) groove!

This is officially the third season of Dynasty, but to fans its actually the second - Dynasty didn't become Dynasty until Alexis arrived and that only happended at the start of the second series.

Season 3 see's the cast expanded from being mostly family (ie. Carrington) based to included many interlopers including Krystle's leetchy first husband Mark; the butlers daughter Kirby; the return of Sammy-Jo (yay!) and the arrival of evil Adam (boo!).

There are of course endless classic Dynasty 'moments' to be had as the series rolls though such as mad-bad Claudia dropping Fallon's ... Read More:
