Well, I was really bored so I rented DALLAS seasons 1 & 2.

Linda Gray is a sensation as Sue Ellen Ewing.

I especially love it when she gets drunk (frequently, and not diminshed at all after she learned she's pregnant) or makes a catty remark.

She must be recognized and celebrated for her 80s awesomeness.

DALLAS S1&2, BTW, has turned out to be mega-fun and hilarious.

The Ewing women definitely were all different.

Pam was the sweet, virtuous one.

Miss Ellie was the proper, maternal one.

Sue Ellen was the drunken one.

Lucy was the slutty one.

Hmmmm... sounds like my family reunion [Wink]

I had forgotten just how beautiful Victoria Principal was... just stunning. Lucy was a hottie too, I didn't remember much about her but I now see she has the funniest, bitchiest lines!

And that Ray Krebbs.... whooo-weee!

You'll note Linda Gray still looks fabulous.

I remember hearing that the Sue Ellen role was originally intended to be a very small one. The focus of the show was to be the Bobby and Pam romance. Linda Grey had very few lines in the pilot, so she decided to show her acting chops by giving these intense emotional facial expressions whenever they put the camera on her. The directors were taken aback, and quickly got the writers to beef up her character.

I didn't realize Larry Hagman was still alive.

Jerry, it would appear you are right re: Sue Ellen... in the shorter first season, she isn't one of the 'stars' with her face and name in the opening credits, that doesn't happen until about 7 episodes in.

Kent, my bf also did not think Larry Hagman was still alive.

DALLAS was fun, but it paled in comparison to it's 'sequel' (which was actually conceived first, I think), KNOT'S LANDING.

God, when I think of how much of my youth was spent watching nighttime soaps...

Dallas
Dynasty
Falcon Crest
Knots Landing
Flamingo Road
The Colbys

I was so gay, even then... [Wink]

Of those, I only watched Dallas, and then only for a season or two (I was one of the ones drawn into the "Who shot JR?" hype, I admit. the local channel also re-ran season one around that time).

So the bf and I came up with the following drinking game, based on DALLAS S1&2.

Take a drink whenever:

SUE ELLEN has a cocktail

ANYONE is on the telephone

LUCY is macking a guy

The word "EWING" is spoken

Chug your drink whenever:

JR is physically assaulted

No drinking allowed whenever:

MISS ELLIE appears onscreen
