Having lived in Dallas for 42 years, I'm proud of this worldwide hit. It put Dallas on the map! Many of us found humor, rather than intrigue, because of J.R.'s character!
When I moved to North Dallas 7 years I couldn’t get enough of those twin gold buildings by the Northwest Hwy exit. I was like I can’t believe I live like 5 minutes from iconic buildings from the Dallas opening credits 😂😂😂
Nobody was convinced that Donna Reed is Miss Ellie, even the actors, Larry Hagman in particular, pronounced "mama" differently, when talking to Barbara Bel Geddes and Donna Reed, it is pretty hearable.
Between her start in the opening credits (1981-82) and her end (1986-87), Susan Howard's eyes and hair seemed to go through a yearly change...if it weren't for her voice and smile, you'd almost think it wasn't Donna anymore.
I love the clip of Barbara Bel Geddes with her eyes, Miss Ellie isn't a smiling "Momma"..she has to fight JR too. I also notice that Linda Grey is beautiful when she smiles.
I want to write that my name is Josh and i want to write that this is the year 2024 and i also want to write that i believe that Warner Bros. studios should make all 356 episodes from all 14 seasons of DALLAS available to stream on the streaming service MAX in 2024.
I recall seeing an opening the year Priscilla debuted with the title "Introducing: Prisicilla Beaulieu Pressley" in her three frame shot as her debut on Dallas was heavily promoted that year and have never seen it again. I don't know if that particular opening I mentioned was meant only for international audiences or not but I used to watch Dallas on Friday nights in Canada on CBC where it remained until the final episode so maybe it was only shown outside the USA.
Somehow I doubt it simply because she spent her first season in the “Also Starring” post-opening credits that overlayed the first scene. Crediting her as “Introducing” in her second year would be a bit too late for that.
@@GrandGame1440 Dallas did have variant opening credits for international airings and I seen this on the CBC which is where Dallas aired in Canada during it's entire run
Was nice to see they slightly edited the opening for the 1983-84 season, the most noticeable difference, they showed the whole COWBOYS in the overhead shot. That hadn’t been seen since the 1978-79 season.
The show had a good effect on Dallas, I always wear a Cowboy hat with my suits because of it, I just think it's still wrong the way they did Donna Reed though
Iconic opening but a show that was a victim of its own success. Dream season, different actress playing Miss Ellie ( a leading character) and Jocks possible return from the dead was the mess it became.
I am On Dallas Season 7 ATM will Be On Season 8 Patrick Duffy Last Season which He Ran over By A Car driving Pam Ex Sister In Law Whoops did I Spoil It 1984-1985 Bobby Ewing dead Announced On The Radio At Cliff Barnes House
Ah yeah. The infamous dream season. We were devastated when we thought Bobby was killed. 1985 was an eventful year for various tv shows. It was also the final season for the Dukes of Hazzard.

I really miss, all the "Great" dramas of the 1970's and 1980's. So many "Fond" memories.
The beauty of Victoria principal!! John beck deserved to be in the opening credits

I used to love hearing this them on Friday night ❤

Season 4 with a marching bassline line that would make Steve Harris proud.
That synth @5:06 for season 7 1983-1984 was the start of Dallas moving into the 1980s
❤
Dallas Is The Best 💯 Period, Classic Openings
I love the clip of Barbara Bel Geddes with her eyes, Miss Ellie isn't a smiling "Momma"..she has to fight JR too. I also notice that Linda Grey is beautiful when she smiles.
This is a banger. Best TV theme song of all time
One of the greatest shows ever 👍
The 7th series and the most Knight Rider-ish guitar riff in the theme.
A very inspiring theme for those of us that still believe in Capitalism, and the Free World.
Do me a favor. Watch Dallas: The Early Years. Jock was a Democrat.
Season 5 without Jim Davis. Such a shame
If I was an mma fighter, this is my walkout song! He ha!!
Agreed. Using in the gym for the last few weeks and right now in of all places London.
That city has changed so much 40 yrs.
I know. The suburbs were boom towns!
Is that for the good or bad?,,.

4:29 love how Season 6 did it
5:42 Season 7 did it the best
I love this film
They dont make shows like this anymore
the real Miss Elly was adorable.....
Season 8 going for Miami Vice electronic drum sound with the obnoxious fills
It’s kind of sad how Victoria Principal’s middle shot never changed. I wonder why that was.
For two very good reasons :)
That was a classic shot, it became a tradition, just like Patrick’s shot of him in front of the pool. When she left, they redid Patrick’s middle shot.
@@jeffpatten5193 what were the reasons?
@@jhenley84 he’s referring to her 2 breasts. 😊

Bouncy Bouncy
Thanks for the upload !!
84-85 season version 1 was the best IMO.
Season 12 and 14, best variations.
Greed is good as long as you are theonewith the cash
After season 7, they butchered the ending of the opening credits music.
Looks like the 1983 - 1984 theme changed from disco to a little Van Halen electric guitar action.
I like the 83-84 theme the best. It's marching band music with soul.
The show had a good effect on Dallas, I always wear a Cowboy hat with my suits because of it, I just think it's still wrong the way they did Donna Reed though
1:00 - Now that is one mighty fine lady i must say.

Freeteevee. Watched the entire series run this past Spring.
THE GORDINS LOVE IT

@@DerekWitt The dukes Of Hazzard Season 7 Only Ran For 17 Episodes Instead Of 22 Episodes But we Did Have The Reunion Movies In 1997/2000
Donna Reed was from Lost in Space.........silly casting. BTW, in an interview Joan Collins would have loved being on Dallas. Interesting. weird
Donna Reed was not on Lost in Space. That was June Lockhart.
Season 7 more synth bass
I crave the slappy bass.. Season 7 intro was weak.
@@jeffpatten5193 Agreed
Gilligan's island was better lol
Those extra phrasings just RUINED this once-great fanfare.
