Customer Reviews

Blackmail, revenge, threats, old sins and new scams: more Texas-style drama from the long-running saga.
The epic soap saga of those entertaining and battling oil-rich Texans returns with more back-stabbing, infighting and family feuding in this Season 11 DVD of all the passion, power play and malice in Dallas. This season has some good brand new stories but also a couple of mediocre ones as well as Pam's weak exit storyline. Larry Hagman dons his trademark Texan Stetson for another great portrayal as that devilish rogue J.R. Ewing who is nastier and meaner this season as he wheels and deals to get back his beloved Ewing Oil.

In this eleventh season Bobby won't help J.R. get Weststar so his big brother cooks up a nasty scheme (one of J.R.'s best against family) but it all backfires and a hot-headed Bobby takes violent revenge on J.R. in the Southfork pool ("You son of a bitch! You don't deserve to live.") At the Southfork barbecue this year more sparks fly and a sinful past returns to haunt a shocked Bobby. Hollywood legend Howard Keel, the star of many classic film musicals, is good as always as the hot-tempered Clayton Farlow whose marriage to Miss Ellie is spiced up when he befriends the beautiful young Laurel who learns to "never say never to J.R. Ewing" after J.R. blackmails her to sleep with him. It's crime time in Dallas as Sue Ellen and her lover Nicholas burst into J.R.'s apartment where a fight ensues with tragic consequences and culminating in a rehashed end-of-season cliffhanger.

Morgan Brittany stars as the memorable Katherine Wentworth who disappointingly returns only for a couple of episodes, a young pre-superstar Brad Pitt has a small role as Charlie's boyfriend Randy, Charlene Tilton returns in the penultimate episode as Lucy, and Linda Gray's real-life daughter plays Sue Ellen's secretary. The Emmy-winning and legendary Barbara Bel Geddes, who starred in 15 major Broadway productions (she was the original Maggie "the Cat" on Broadway in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" which won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1955), continues to demonstrate her amazing and natural acting abilities and in one moving scene she gives a classic and emotional performance when Miss Ellie has a showdown with Clayton at his office. Linda Gray continues her fine portrayal of the conniving Sue Ellen who this season becomes a big thorn in J.R.'s side.

Arch-villain J.R. is up to much blackmailing and sinister plotting as he weaves a tangled web in his scheme to exact his ultimate revenge on Weststar which has cleverly interwoven subplots involving Sue Ellen, Bobby, Cliff, April and Kimberly. There's plot-twists, passion and pouting between Sue Ellen and her dashing lover Nicholas Pearce who becomes a victim of J.R. and Sue Ellen's deadly power game. This is Priscilla Presley's final season where Ray and Jenna have a lackluster storyline of problems with disobedient teenager Charlie, although matters heat up for Ray in his near-fatal philandering (a "Fatal Attraction" rip-off plot). The legend that is Larry Hagman won the Soap Opera Digest Awards for Outstanding Prime Time Lead Actor and for Outstanding Prime Time Villain during this season. This dark eleventh season is produced by DALLAS veteran David Paulsen (Writer, Director & Story Editor of DVD Seasons 6, 7 & 8). There are 3 seasons left to be released on DVD of the world-famous Texas oil opera.

Next on DALLAS in the light-hearted and action-packed Season 12 DVD has Southfork playing host to explosions and gun battles in a Western-style range war, and the bitter feud between J.R. and Sue Ellen continues.

Review of 'Dallas' Season 11 [MINOR SPOILERS]
'Dallas' Season 11 brings forth a lot of what defined the series' success; J.R.'s battle this season is to reclaim the now fallen Ewing Oil empire; Sue Ellen continues to find her way and make sense of her relationship with J.R.; Clayton and Miss Ellie have their own relationship issues to work out. For me though, the eleventh season was just average. It lacked the drama and emotional intensity of the 'dream' season but it was definitely less awkward that season 10 which attempted to make-up for the dream season. Still, the eleventh season felt a bit sedate and tame compared to season's past. Even with 30 episodes, this season felt rather anti-climatic.

Part of my issue with this season is that it definitely felt as if the producers were either running out of ideas or trying to shift the focus from the core group of characters we've come to know and care about to a slew of new characters. Some of them, such as Sue Ellen's new interest Nicholas Pearce, were interesting and just as strong as the long-running characters. Others, such as the femme fatale of the season Kimberly, or J.R.'s new lackey, Casey Denault, simply felt flat and cookie-cutter. The character of Bobby was also rather underwhelming during the season, coming off as rather detached for the most part. The characters of Ray and Jenna simply lost steam and were left to a rather lame rip-off plot of 'Fatal Attraction'. To me, the only characters that really shined this season were Sue Ellen, who has the ultimate plot to get back at J.R. for years of wrong-doing, and Miss Ellie who finds herself in a role often held and played out by Sue Ellen.

There really was no real, threatening, big conflict this season. For part of the season, the focus seemed to be on the children and episodes felt a bit like an ABC After School Special rather than the 'Dallas' we all know and are obsessed with. John Ross, Christopher, and Charlie play a big role in this season and for me as a viewer, I'd prefer the focus have been more so on the adults. The character of Pam is completely demolished and her actions simply seemed to go against all of her seasons of development. Even J.R.'s fight to reclaim Ewing Oil isn't as gripping because most of the plot feels old at this point; it feels exactly like the fight he puts up for the company each season. The season is filled with rehashed plots; Sue Ellen realizing J.R. will never be faithful to her, J.R. playing different family members against one another to get what he wants, a fight over John Ross, a murder/court trial.

With these complaints, there were still good moments in the season, including the emerging character of April Stevens and how she definitely plays well with so many characters. Seeing Sue Ellen spend an entire season sober and in control, plotting and playing her cards just as well as J.R. probably saved this season from being a total bore. I also enjoyed most scenes that involved Miss Ellie and watching as she found herself in the odd position of finally being able to relate to Sue Ellen and see what it's been like for her in her relationship with J.R. The surprise return of Lucy toward the end of the season even provided for some great moments and perhaps a great interlude to more to come in the next season.

In all, 'Dallas' is still better than most shows on t.v. now and is worth the viewing. It's definitely more soap opera-ish this season than previous; you have a mob plot, abduction, scheming, plotting, hook-ups, politics and many more elements that make this a guilty pleasure and must-see-tv. Check it out, you probably won't be let down, especially with the season finale that definitely leaves Sue Ellen Ewing in the spotlight and makes this more so her season than any other before.
