  • Dallas” in 2012 Ryan R
    Watching & Waiting: “Dallas” in 2012 Ryan R. Sanderson “Bullets don’t seem to have much of an effect on me darlin’,” the old man calmly mutters. Of course we the audience know just what he means. No matter how old he might be—in character and in years—it’s a pleasure to be able to say: J.R. Ewing is back! And he still has it. There’s nothing like sitting down in front of a television here in 2012 to watch a new program that quickly proves not-so-new upon hearing that grand, wonderful, unmistakable theme music. It’s almost like a trip back in time—almost perhaps, though not. The nostalgia factor is obvious, at least to those of us who know the characters and all that’s happened with them and to them over the past 30+ years. To see most of them alive and relatively well satisfies our initial curiosity. After all, we’re tuning in to get reacquainted with our all-time favorites and be caught up on where they’ve been and just where their lives have come. We—that is the aforementioned “those of us” with sharp memories who know what’s going on—are the reason for the “return” of the world-famous show. Ultimately, we’re the ones who must be satisfied in order for the program to be a success. This said, I ask: Why am I largely disappointed thus far in the new “Dallas”? It’s not all bad; some strong moments are beginning to come through.

  • Dallas (1978 TV Series)
    Dallas (1978 TV series) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is about the original 1978–1991 television series. For the sequel, see Dallas (2012 TV series). Dallas is a long-running American prime time television soap opera that aired from April 2, 1978, to May 3, 1991, on CBS. The series revolves around a wealthy and feuding Texan family, the Ewings, who own the independent oil company Ewing Oil and the cattle-ranching land of Southfork. The series originally focused on the marriage of Bobby Ewing and Pamela Barnes, whose families were sworn enemies with each other. As the series progressed, oil tycoon J.R. Ewing grew to be the show's main character, whose schemes and dirty business became the show's trademark.[1] When the show ended in May 1991, J.R. was the only character to have appeared in every episode. The show was famous for its cliffhangers, including the Who shot J.R.? mystery. The 1980 episode Who Done It remains the second highest rated prime-time telecast ever.[2] The show also featured a "Dream Season", in which the entirety of the ninth season was revealed to have been a dream of Pam Ewing's. After 14 seasons, the series finale "Conundrum" aired in 1991. The show had a relatively ensemble cast. Larry Hagman stars as greedy, scheming oil tycoon J.R. Ewing, stage/screen actressBarbara Bel Geddes as family matriarch Miss Ellie and movie Western actor Jim Davis as Ewing patriarch Jock, his last role before his death in 1981. The series won four Emmy Awards, including a 1980 Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series win for Bel Geddes.

  • Deep in the Heart of Texas
    Deep in the Heart of Texas written by Pamela McCaughey(2001), from an idea by Stephen Greaney based on the series "UFO" (1969-71) created by Gerry & Sylvia Anderson & Reg Hill and "Dallas", created by David Jacobs Warning: mild adult situations, some naughty words Chapter One July 1st, 1981, SHADO Headquarters, Great Britain "I've got the research you asked for on those oil lease properties in Texas, Ed," Alec Freeman threw himself into the seat across from Straker's desk, "Owned by one J.R. Ewing, residing in Dallas. Some big-name oil-baron." "Hmmp. Hope he's co-operative. If the reconnaissance photos are correct, we've got trouble brewing over there. Alien trouble," Straker paused to light one of his favourite cigarillos, "I want to send the Omega people in as quickly as possible." "What kind of alien activity is going on?" "We're not sure if it has anything to do with underground oil on those properties, or if there's some other mineral the aliens are after. You know how they love to get their hands on our natural resources." "Are the aliens actually trying to mine the area?" "If they are, it's all being done underground. Out of sight. Hush-hush. I doubt if Mr. Ewing is even aware he's got trespassers." "So how are you going to approach this?" "I guess the next step is to contact Mr. Ewing and buy those oil-leases - we don't want to tip him off to anything unusual, and if we can come to some sort of agreement, Omega can buy the properties and just carry on." ........a few hours later.......

  • The Power of Attraction in the Narrative of Soap Operas
    THE POWER OF ATTRACTION IN THE NARRATIVE OF SOAP OPERAS MARIA BAJNER University of Pécs Abstract: The analysis raises several questions in relation to soap operas. What positions do readers, viewers, or listeners identify with, given that they are already socially conditioned men and women? What positions are avail- able for the female (and male) audience? The answers to these questions are linked to broader gender divisions which soap operas both question and devel- op as a source of pleasure. Soap operas are immensely popular cultural forms, attracting more than 2 million viewers each day in Hungary alone, the majority of whom are female, according to information available on www.mediainfo.hu. While the soap opera audience is both male and female, the soap opera genre carries heavily feminine connotations in contemporary culture, as it has been marketed and addressed to women since its early twentieth-century radio-broadcast origins. The soap opera continued the tradition of women’s domestic fiction of the nineteenth century, which had also endured in the magazine stories of the 1920s and 1930s. It also drew upon the conventions of the “woman’s film” of the 1930s. The primary target audience for soap operas — women working at home — was supposed to integrate the view- ing of these shows into their daily routines. According to Ann Gray (1987: 48), soap operas form an important part of female viewers’ everyday lives and give focus to a female culture which they share. Such an approach either narrows its ramifications by specifying the kinds of women it describes (in terms of class, race, sexual orientation, nationality, age, etc.) or runs the risk of invoking a universalized “woman” whose affiliation with the codes of femininity is assumed as a norm.

  • Dallas As the Pinnacle of Human Evolutionary Television
    Review of General Psychology © 2012 American Psychological Association 2012, Vol. 16, No. 2, 200–207 1089-2680/12/$12.00 DOI: 10.1037/a0027915 Why Who Shot J. R. Matters: Dallas as the Pinnacle of Human Evolutionary Television Maryanne L. Fisher St. Mary’s University The TV series Dallas remains one of the most popular shows to ever have been broadcast on American TV. It was a serialized prime-time soap opera with weekly 45 minute episodes that ran from 1978 until 1991. This long-running show is one of the few to have been entirely released in DVD format; all 14 seasons are available as of 2011, and reruns are still aired internationally. Hundreds of thousands of visitors still tour the Southfork Ranch used for filming, outside Dallas, Texas. I will argue that the reason for this show’s success is because it routinely depicted themes that align with our evolved psychology. Using arguments that have been created to discuss literary Darwinism and gossip, I propose that this show depicted topics that have adaptive value; Dallas both exploits our evolved interests but also may act as a learning device for solving adaptive problems. Over the course of human evolution, it may have increased individual fitness to know who is wealthy or owns plentiful resources, has power and status, cheats on or poaches mates, engages in sibling rivalry, enhances their attractiveness, and so on. Dallas depicts these topics, and others, and thus, it is sensible that it would have been so successful among international audiences, and across decades. Keywords: mass media, evolution, TV, Dallas, prime time Why is it that so many TV shows seem to have the same basic manner, it begs the question of why that specific type of show is content? At the moment, one of my favorite shows is Castle.
