The Ewing Oil Spill: A Deep Dive into Season 2 of Dallas (That Doesn't End in a Catfight)
Howdy, partners! Gather 'round the metaphorical campfire (or your preferred device for internet spelunking) because we're about to embark on a thrilling quest for knowledge – exactly how many episodes are in season 2 of Dallas?
Now, you might think this is a question as simple as wrangling a steer in a ten-gallon hat. But hold your horses (or should we say, hold your Stetsons?), because when it comes to the Ewings, nothin' is ever straightforward. Just like J.R.'s ever-scheming mind, there seems to be a bit of a mystery surrounding season 2.
QuickTip: Skim for bold or italicized words.

Here's the gist, folks: some sources, like good ol' Wikipedia (bless its factual heart), say there are a neat 22 episodes in season 2. But wait a darn tootin' minute! If you start snoopin' around on streaming services or episode guides, you might see something different. 15 episodes? 24 episodes? What in the tarnation is going on?
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.
Buckle Up, Buttercup: We're Decoding Ewing Math
Well, fret no more, because we're about to unravel this soapy scandal. The truth is, there's a bit of a historical whopper at play. Back in the day, the original miniseries that introduced us to the Ewing clan (with that iconic "Who shot J.R.?" cliffhanger) is now considered "season 1" for streaming and DVD purposes. Originally, though, that miniseries wasn't counted as part of the season count. So, some folks consider the first full season (which aired in the fall of 1978) to be season 2, leading to the 22 episode count.

But for most folks, season 2 refers to the episodes that aired after the miniseries, which adds up to 15 episodes.
Tip: Let the key ideas stand out.
So, there you have it, partners! The answer depends on how you're countin' them Ewings. No matter which way you slice it, though, there's plenty of drama, double-crossings, and Sue Ellen's fabulous wardrobe to keep you entertained.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a sudden urge to rewatch the Southfork fashion show and ponder the existential questions of who wears that much shoulder padding in the Texas heat.
