The great hope that it was going to be Pam who J.R. Part of the drama was the good brother Bobby trying to deal with the evil brother, J.R. The problem was that Bobby was one of the major linchpins of the show. So he decided to leave the show at the end of the 1984-1985 season and the producers decided to kill him off. Patrick Duffy was tired of playing second fiddle on the show and thought he wanted more in his career than just being Bobby Ewing. One thing people don’t ask and what I’m going to criticize is why did they kill him off in the first place? So while everyone jokes about the “dream season” explanation after the 1985-1986 season cliffhanger, the fact is that is was the best idea to justify bringing Bobby back. The evil twin angle or the idea that somehow Bobby “miraculously” survived after he died onscreen wasn’t that plausible (even though Young and the Restless did that with Phillip Chancellor III a few years back after being “dead” for 20 years). The dream season explanation as to why Bobby appears in Pam’s shower a year later after his “death” is often derided, but it was the best explanation for the reason that Bobby was alive. Bobby dies, saving Pam after just proposing re-marriage from a car driven by Katherine Wentworth who was Pam’s half-sister and wanted Bobby for herself that she actually shot him in that season cliffhanger that had me hooked. I also watched the various reunion movies and then the rebooted continuation series that was cancelled a couple of year ago on TNT.īesides shooting J.R., Dallas is remembered for the “dream season” where Pam dreamed up the 1985-1986 season where Bobby dies. It was pretty much my TV addiction for the next 7 years until the show ended on my 19th birthday, May 3, 1991. and everything went on before, thanks to the early episodes being syndicated at the same time on WWOR-9. I was hooked when I first was trying to see who shot Bobby Ewing and then was able to catch up on who shot JR. If you ask me for my favorite TV show, it’s been Dallas since age 12. ![]() If you ask me for my favorite movie of all-time, it’s always Airplane! since I’ve been 9.
