TV Show Plot For DallasDallas began as a five part mini-series on CBS in 1978. The show then aired on CBS for a total of 14 seasons. The soap was broadcast across the globe and is considered the most successful American soap opera outside the US borders.
The Dallas TV series is best-known for the it's character J.R. Ewing (Larry Hagman), the greedy, scheming, oil magnate.
One of the most famous television show events ever happened at the end of the 1979-80 Dallas season, when an unknown intruder shot J.R. in the chest while he was working late at his office. "Who Shot J.R.?" was a phrase that captivated the world. Odds on the shooter's identity were calculated, and saw active wagering. Turned out it was Kristin, J.R.'s scorned sister-in-law and former romantic interest.

Trivia for the TV Show DallasIronically, J.R. was only meant to be a supporting character when the show premiered. Bobby and Pam were meant to be the focus of Dallas. The popularity of the J.R. character took off and he became the focus of the series.
Creator David Jacobs originally created and pitched Knots Landing to CBS, but the network desired a more glamorous show. Jacobs therefore created Dallas. When Dallas became a huge hit, CBS turned to Jacobs to do another show, and Knots Landing was created as a spinoff of Dallas.
Dallas aired a total of 357 episodes over it 14 season run.Top 20 Ratings Info for Dallas Series1980-81 - 3rd Season - Ranked #1 1981-82 - 4th Season - Ranked #1 1982-83 - 5th Season - Ranked #2 1983-84 - 6th Season - Ranked #1 1984-85 - 7th Season - Ranked #2 1985-86 - 8th Season - Ranked #6 1986-87 - 9th Season - Ranked #11 1987-88 - 10th Season - Ranked #22
