Remember who shot J.R.?
Seminal soap Dallas comes to DVD
By Jennifer Netherby 5/10/2004
MAY 10 | J.R. Ewing and the catfights are back at Southfork.
Dallas--the Complete First and Second Season makes its soapy debut on DVD Aug. 24 from Warner Home Video. Prebook is July 27, and the DVD has a $49.98 SRP.
The five-disc DVD set of the primetime soap, which ran for 13 years and earned a spot in pop culture history, includes all 29 episodes and the Soaptalk Dallas Reunion featurette with Southfork stars Larry Hagman (J.R.), Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray and Charlene Tilton.
Hagman, Tilton and creator David Jacobs give commentary for the pilot and other episodes.
29 episodes means the 5-part mini-series that consisted of the "1st Season," plus the 24 episodes from Season 2. Stay tuned, and we'll have more details about this - and cover art - just as soon as Warner Home Video provides it.
Hopefully this will pave the way for the 3rd Season on DVD, which ends with the famous episode "A House Divided." That's the one which provided the classic "Who Shot J.R.?" cliffhanger.
UPDATE:
Just to be clear, here are the episodes to expect on this release: "Diggers Duaghter," "Lessons," "Spy in the House," "Winds of Vengence," "Barbeque," "Reunion (Part 1)," "Reunion (Part 2)," "Old Acquaintance," "Bypass," "Black Market Baby," "Double Wedding," "Runaway," "Election," "Survival," "Act of Love," "Triangle," "Fallen Idol," "Kidnapped," "Home Again," "For Love or Money," "Julie's Return," "The Red File (Part 1)," "The Red File (Part 2)," "Sue Ellen's Sister," "Callgirl," "Royal Marriage," "The Outsiders," "John Ewing III (Part 1)," and "John Ewing III (Part 2)."
