Dallas: The Complete First and Second Seasons is an American equivalent to those British miniseries about historical chapters in that country's royal monarchy. Full of family in-fighting, political intrigue crossed with personal triumph or disappointment, and plenty of sensational infidelities and betrayals, Dallas is a captivating story of a wealthy oil family's power and travails. It is also uniquely fun and daringly absurd, albeit with a straight face; this hugely successful, primetime soap opera began in the late 1970s and ran 14 seasons in all, built on a handful of primary relationships that stretch credulity but never descend into self-parody.
Not unexpectedly, Dallas begins with a Romeo and Juliet tale that instantly exposes an old feud between two families and strips the civilized veneer from several major characters. Bobby Ewing (Patrick Duffy), youngest of three sons of independent oilman Jock Ewing (Jim Davis), arrives at the Ewing clan's Southfork ranch just outside Dallas, Texas, with a new wife, Pam Barnes Ewing (Victoria Principal). Pam is the daughter of Digger Barnes (David Wayne), an old business rival of Jock's and one-time suitor of the Ewing matriarch, Eleanor (or 'Miss Ellie,' played by Barbara Bel Geddes). Pam's also the sister of a state senator, Cliff Barnes (Ken Kercheval), whose vendetta against the Ewings is played out in the legislature, imposing costly regulations on their business and holding committee investigations into questionable practices of company president J.R. Ewing (Larry Hagman). Pam's status as the newest Ewing causes an uproar in the family (besides being a Barnes, she also dated the Ewings' genial but lonely foreman, Ray Krebbs, played by Steve Kanaly) and prompts Dallas' charming villain, J.R., to make many Iago-like attempts, over the first two seasons, to drive her from Bobby's arms. Pam has a different set of problems with the other, jealous Ewing women, including J.R.'s possibly barren and alcoholic wife, Sue Ellen (Linda Gray), and teenage Lucy (Charlene Tilton), daughter of exiled Ewing son Gary (Ted Shackleford). With new and old resentments flying and everyone deeply suspicious of everyone else's motives (even the ailing Jock doesn't trust J.R.), there's plenty of drama to chew on. Still, storylines are often larger than the sum of these parts, with lots of kidnappings, marital affairs, plane crashes, and shootings ratcheting up suspense. Dallas is pure pleasure, a little guilty, perhaps, but not a sin. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - The Best TV Show Ever!
I was very pleased with my purchase of Dallas Seasons 1-2. I love all the episodes. I didn't like the fourth episode of Season 1, "Winds of Vengeance." I never have liked any episode of any series when my favorite characters are in trouble and made to something against their will. I didn't like in Winds of Vengeance when Sue Ellen was made to sing in front of the family in a bathing suit while the bad man held a gun on her. I never did like that scene. Sue Ellen didn't deserve that. In Season 2, ... Read More
Rating: - Good Show!
Unfortunately, I got seasons 3 & 4 in the mail before 1 & 2, so I started watching season 3 and now I'm completely hooked. All I can say is Dallas is more exciting to me now (being in my early 30s) than it was to me 25 yrs+ ago when it was actually on TV.
My mom has just ordered seasons 5-7 for my birthday for me and told me to order season 8 when it comes out as well.
The only downside to my watching Dallas is that my husband is a 49ers fan & he actually grew up watching ... Read More

Rating:  - the meaner JR got The better DALLAS became
The early epidsodes of DALLAS were interesting. It was clear by the end of this dvd that JR as a dirty dealer was where the show would make its Hay. A few of the epidsodes felt out of place and unrealistic as DALLAS found itself. But if u start watching the dvd you will find yourself enjoying the journey and wanting too move on too season 3. SEASON 3 was my favorite DALLAS season as ole JR emerges as the clear star of the show. I love all the characters but VICTORIA PRINCIPAL as PAM is stunning. I had ... Read More
