[edit] Bobby's name
Bobby's given name on the show WAS Robert James Ewing. In the episode where Bobby is kidnapped and held hostage (the kidnappers thought they were kidnapping JR) you briefly see a newspaper story with a photograph of Bobby. The caption under the photograph is 'Robert James Ewing'. Southfork 01:24, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
- The Bobby James Ewing character was never listed as Robert James Ewing in the actual show or the books. See the cast page at http://www.ultimatedallas.com/backstage/behind11.htm
There are many other resources too on the "Bobby James Ewing" name. --speedoflight 09:50, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

- I can confirm with what Southfork said...I saw that episode that Southfork described (it aired recently on SoapNet a few weeks ago), and Bobby's full name was indeed referred to as Robert James Ewing. Maybe based on continuity issues, whether it be from the producers/writers or from whomever else, it was never officially settled. ShawnHill 20:36, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Event
An event in this article is a May 3 selected anniversary (may be in HTML comment)
[edit] Characters
What logic is behind the sequence of the characters? I don't get it. And is it only me or is the emphasis on the least few seasons. I even cannot find Cliff Barnes. As soon as I know about the sequence I'll add some...
- They are listed in alphabetical order by the last name of the actor/actress. This is the way they were listed in the show's credits.

- Uhh...why was this moved? RadicalBender 02:56, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Blast from the Past retcon
Is there a reason there is no link or even a mention of the wikipedia article Retcon with the Blast from the Past incident? --153.1.48.94 11:02, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Notable fact
I think it was originally intended that Cliff Barnes shot JR. As a result of the publicity that the storyline was generating, it was changed. If someone can confirm this, it may be worth including in the article. Eiler7 23:32, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think they picked any "one" until the last minute. They filmed resolutions which had almost every character shooting J.R....I don't think they favored any one from the start. Mike H. That's hot 05:15, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

- You are correct in what you say but I think that applied after they decided to draw out the storyline. Initially, the idea was to reveal that Cliff Barnes did it shortly afterwards. However, the massive reaction to the uncertainty caused them to change their plans and then they did the numerous resolutions which you mentioned. If I am correct, someone would need to verify the initial idea before adding it to the article. Eiler7 11:28, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bizarre paragraph
"When the "Who Shot J.R.?" media began, Larry Hagman tried to renegotiate his contract. Producers David Jacobs and Leonard Katzman thought of firing him in replacing with Robert Culp, if he hadn't renewed his contract. But producers, came to a last minute decision, when Hagman tried to renegotiate his contract, and they even paid him a lot of money for the character he was playing. He didn't appear in the third season of the two-parter of Episode 1, his scenes were later shot at an earlier time. "
The last sentence of this paragraph makes NO sense whatsoever. "the third season of the two-parter of Episode 1"? "Later shot at an earlier time?"
Can someone who knows what they're talking about please edit this so it resembles English? Thanks. 202.173.128.90 02:43, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dynasty
I am surprised that Dynasty (TV series) is not mentioned at all in the article. Both were very prominent primetime soap operas in the 1980s, and I thought there was a fierce competition between the two, for viewers and advertiser money. Somebody must have some figures comparing the two... --Austrian 21:06, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] J.R. Ewing Whiskey Music Box Figure Statue 1980
My dad loved J.R. and he passed away 10 years ago. He had a statue of J.R. and I have it just sitting here..with the new show return I have given thought to selling it for about ten grand or so. The music is the original theme song from the show. The statue looks just like J.R. and the top of his hat comes off and you can put the whiskey in it..or whatever..J.R. is wearing a grey suit and hat and there is a stack of money by him and with the words Dallas and his name. The original label is still under it with the date and all on it. Should I sell it for more? Sandy_winnette@sbcglobal.net 70.251.250.53 17:26, 2 September 2006 (UTC)sandy..if anyone you know would like this just e-mail me with offer..we loved the show and both my parents watched it all the time. I know my dad would have loved to meet J.R. that is how much he talked about the show years back.

[edit] Dallas was once the number one show on TV
We should put that in the article if we can get a reference. Zomputer 15:15, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Seasons Should Be Renumbered
These days, the mini-series is known as the first season on: 1. the official DVD's, 2. IMDB, and 3. TV.com. This makes a total of fourteen seasons. I think they should be renumbered on wiki to reflect this. Thank you... Smarkflea (talk) 18:10, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
