Dallas

1978–1991 · 14 seasons

A glossy, backstabbing family saga full of cliffhangers and opulent Texas scheming, easy to get hooked on.

Tagline: A family ruthless in its quest for power and passion.
Overview: The world's first mega-soap, and one of the most popular ever produced, Dallas had it all. Beautiful women, expensive cars, and men playing Monopoly with real buildings. Famous for one of the best cliffhangers in TV history, as the world asked "Who shot J.R.?" A slow-burner to begin with, Dallas hit its stride in the 2nd season, with long storylines and expert character development. Dallas ruled the airwaves in the 1980's.
How it feels: Campy, cynical, romantic and melancholic. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Family, power, greed, betrayal
