Top Ten Times "Dallas" Dealt with Serious Issues

[@jennifer_m.8613]

The early 2-parter about Miss Ellie's cancer scare was based on a real life situation for Barbara's BelGeddes.

As soon as we heard that Theme Song....It was So distinct.....It was time for Dallas.

[@patbrooks9823]

Neat thing about revisiting the shows again is seeing faces I recognize from other shows from the 60s and 70s: Harold Gould, Frank Marth, Kenneth Tigar, Glenn Corbett, & Richard Jaeckel. As well as Martin E Brooks & Tina Louise who I recognized when I first watched these on CBS.

One of your best, Toni. Poor Lucy, she went through so much!

[@supersoaps]

Thanks a lot Dom! I agree, Lucy actually went through everything so after her wedding there was little left for her to do. Charlene did great acting in the first 2 seasons. Funny that a character so often made fun of (remember Terry Wogan´s nickname of "Poison dwarf"?) got so many serious issues to play. Toni from supersoaps.org

I loved the relationship between Pam and Lucy; when Pam first came to Southfork, Lucy gave her so much trouble, but Pam stood up to her and won Lucy's trust. And when Lucy wanted to have an abortion, Pam was right there for her, even stayed when Lucy underwent the procedure and helped her recover. I wish the show had shown more of that relationship.

[@georgieboy9101]

They don't make shows like this any more.

[@kimdavison8083]

Pam was so good to Lucy

[@maureenmcgovern6119]

Such an amazing Show.

[@christerry1611]

Binge watching it right now

[@andersoncooper4852]

I love when the soaps tackle serious issues. I swear empire had more in common with Dallas than dynasty anyday.

[@supersoaps]

anderson, I loved the first 2 seasons of Empire but it soon went downhill. It kept its virtues of inclusion and shameless soapiness but they became too dependent on the stunt casting and mafia plots. Taraji and Terrence were in state of grace here, but they got rid of great characters too soon. The second half of the series hasn´t been shown in Spain yet, due to low ratings, I guess. I´ll devote a video to the current shows influenced by the 80s soaps, keep tuned! Toni from supersoaps.org

[@andersoncooper4852]

supersoaps agreed! I stock it out for the first 3 seasons which I enjoyed!

[@maureenmcgovern6119]

I just Loved this show.

[@beckymigdal3140]

The Mickey story was so sad.

[@veralynguillory8579]

Why can’t we see the reruns it would be so much better than what we have on tv now

[@richardmills1505]

Lucy was hooked on the 'ludes. That would be my guess.

[@nata3467]

poor Lucy...she really had such a rough life

[@NOTHEOTHERGUY]

The story arc with Ray and Donna's Down Syndrome baby was so far ahead of its time. Susan Howard is a pro-life lobbyist now, and God bless her for it

[@Fcutdlady]

The storyline shows why sexuality should never be buried . It always shows itself in the end.

[@wjglll340]

Nonsense. People's proclivities do not need to define them. Do not lean into it.

[@mammyewok]

i guess we are never gonna talk about when ray and lucy...uh..got close then found out they were uncle/niece..

[@patbrooks9823]

Convenient memory loss.

[@julieraymond482]

Now ,it seems any character in anything is dealing with some personal problem associated with sexuality,psychological issues arising from some situation in the young teenager/ adult 's family or school .

[@dawnjustice6516]

Bring back Dallas

[@dawnjustice6516]

Did that doctor play on golden girls

[@blodding]

Yes, he was miles. He dated rose.

[@michaelmuldowney8]

6:20 Note how the Pepsi brand name was blacked out !! The Down Syndrome plot was part of Pams dream The actor playing Mickey Trotter died at 29.

[@jennifer_m.8613]

The actor who played Mickey Trotter, his brother died in the 9/11attacks.

[@gemmaaboagye8951]

Love dallas

[@julieraymond482]

Back when Bobby rearranged JR's face at least twice a month. Ha,ha.

[@maureenmcgovern6119]

Or dumped him in the pool.

[@patbrooks9823]

He usually punched him in the gut.

[@kathyflorcruz552]

0:28 I don't know WHERE the creator of this video EVER got the impression that ANY of these subjects were never dealt with before Dallas on prime time. That is ABSURD. But WHATEVER.

[@jennifer_m.8613]

When it's on a soap opera or drama series, it seems much more dramatic.

[@buddie2343]

Lucy was just like a sindy doll. As a kid watching this I thought she was beautiful

[@reinholdkorner6473]

Miss Ellie ist die beste 👍❤

[@tammymorris5475]

I can identify with pam I couldn't have children and its heartbreaking to not be able to bare children

[@supersoaps]

Truly sorry Tammy. Please keep your feedback coming. Toni

[@DawnJustice-h2w]
