i LOVED dallas. to this day i still love it. i just bought season 6 on dvd last week. i don't think i drew breath or ate until i had watched all the episodes in a row.

the dream season was definitely when dallas jumped the shark. . .there were a few good moments after that, but things started to go downhill fast. pam left, sue ellen left. . .i can't remember half the cast from the last 2 seasons, it was horrible by then.

Y & R - watched it for years! But I like to call it, "The Young and the Horny."

Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki) made a hilarious cameo on "My Name Is Earl" this week. I was pleasantly surprised to see her playing poor, white trash!

Does Nikki ever age? She's seriously looked the same for years.

Oh! I forgot. I used to love Coronation Street. It's getting ridiculous now.

I thought Pam's exit from the show was especially ridiculous. They should've just had her die, instead of that crap about having her run off from the hospital and divorce Bobby (by mail, no less) later on. I think they were entertaining the notion of recasting the character, but damn. I'm probably more offended by that than the "dream season," truth be told.

no argument from me. that was the biggest steaming pile of crap ever served up on the show. they did want victoria principal to come back, but it never worked out. in the final episode they asked her to appear but she said she would only do it if they guaranteed her it was truly the absolute last season of dallas. they producers wouldn't, and so there was no pam in the finale. idiots, all of them!
