The Ewing Empire: A Serial Marathon
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.
There are actually two Dallas series to consider, each with enough drama to fill a Texas-sized swimming pool:
-
The OG Dallas (1978-1991): This is the granddaddy of them all, the one that brought us the legendary "Who shot J.R.?" cliffhanger and Larry Hagman's deliciously conniving J.R. Ewing. This series ran for a whopping 14 seasons, clocking in at a commitment-worthy 357 episodes.
-
The Dallas Reboot (2012-2014): This modern take on the Ewing family saga lasted for 3 seasons and 40 episodes. It picks up with the next generation grappling for power and fortune, with a healthy dose of family feuds thrown in for good measure.
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.
But Wait, There's More!
Now, here's where things get a little more yeehaw. The original Dallas wasn't content to just end after 14 seasons. We also have:
Tip: Take mental snapshots of important details.
- Four reunion specials: These aired between 1996 and 2004, offering a glimpse into what the Ewings were up to after the series finale (spoiler alert: it involved more scheming).
So, How Much Time Should You Set Aside?
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
That depends on your appetite for Texas-sized drama. Here's a handy guide:
- Binge-a-thon Enthusiast: If you're ready to dive headfirst into the Ewing family vortex, then the OG Dallas (all 357 episodes, reunion specials included) is your jam. Just be prepared to explain to your boss why you haven't blinked in a week.
- The Casual Oil Baron: Feeling more like a weekend warrior? The reboot series (3 seasons, 40 episodes) offers a more condensed dose of Ewing madness.
- The Curious Cattle Prodder: Just want a taste of the drama? Check out a few clips of the iconic "Who shot J.R.?" scene. You'll be hooked...or utterly confused.
No matter which route you choose, one thing's for sure: Dallas is a journey, not a destination. So grab your metaphorical Stetson, pour yourself a sweet tea, and get ready to get sucked into the world of the Ewings! Just don't blame us if you start dreaming in oil derricks.
