Goofs:

Continuity: When Bobby Ewing rescues Julia Cunningham from the back of a galloping horse, the ground changes several times between grass in the long shots to sand in the close-ups.

Quotes:

John Ross Ewing III: [after JR appears screwed by Cliff because he sold Ewing Oil to Bobby and Sue Ellen] Dad, I don't understand, why are you smiling? You just lost Ewing Oil?
John Ross 'J.R.' Ewing, Jr.: Son, you don't understand. Ewing Oil is back in Ewing hands. Your Uncle Bobby is no longer going to sell Southfork, and is back in the oil business. I am the Chairman of the Board of Weststar. Your mother is back at Southfork, and you are going to remain in Dallas to learn the oil business under the best damn oil man there ever was.
John Ross Ewing III: Dad, when you say it that way, it appears you'd planned everything to work out this way from the start.

DALLAS there is nothing out that can compare to the acting as the actors acted in the series.To me there has been no series out that any one actor has compared to the actor JR EWING.I wish somebody would get all the episodes on vhs or dvd soon.
