It's the aftermath of the reading of Jock Ewing's will and Gary, Valene and Abby are in Dallas. ************************************* Click Below to SUBSCRIBE for More DALLAS www.youtube.co... / @dallas70
The famous "Dallas" theme that opens this episode is beautifully orchestrated, I just love it. It shows us how "Dallas" was at its peak at that time, and that the whole world was talking about the show.
Well, if by the whole world you mean the part that wasn't in the Soviet Zone. Not only did I ever get to see Dallas more than a decade after it started, by the time the rights to Knots Landing were bought, the airing of Dallas has ended, so I'm genuinely seeing this for the first time.
@@akosbarati2239 I do recall Gorbachev saying recently the fall of communism and the U.S.S.R. is in part because of the popularity of Dallas which was shown in Russia because some people got past the blockers that stopped non-authorized programming to air in Russia but the way the Ewings lived got to Russians apparently that there was another way to live and that was capitalism with all it glitz and glamour and that is why Gorbachev believes the show Dallas led to the collapse of communism and the U.S.S.R. ttps://deadline.com/2020/10/mikhail-gorbachev-dallas-soviet-union-collapse-david-stewart-1234604449/
@@kekwayblaze3176 he's also known to have a great sense of gallows humor. In 1986, Raisa had to get public about there not being (although was) shortages of pantyhose in GUM and she did not buy them on state visits abroad. Keeping people locked up in their countries proved to cost a lot more than actually allowing them to live free.
@@akosbarati2239 Gorbachev? He was the last President of the Soviet Union and oversaw the collapse of communism and the breakup of the U.S.S.R. so I believe him when he says Dallas being shown in the U.S.S. R. by people who got past the blockers led to the collapse of communism.
I didn't like Bobby Ewing or Charles Ingalls. Both were hotheads, short-fused, and always ready to beat someone up! In fact, hypothetically speaking, it would have been interesting to see who would have won in a fight between those two!
I never understood why they always overlooked visiting Lucy every time Gary & Val came thru Dallas. Lucy was their love child. The writers never really treated Lucy like she was an important part of their lives and that infuriated me. She was their first born for God’s sakes.
Maybe because the writers were trying to portray Gary and Val as a young couple, and Lucy did look like she could be a younger sister to them then a daughter.
Lucy was only a supporting character to other characters stories. For example the episode of her wedding. The most you got out of it was JR and Aftons affair and JR getting getting his way in a business deal. Plus Gary's appearance shown only to affect Miss Ellie.
@@a.b.sproductionsllc I recall reading somewhere that Joan Van Ark was not pleased that she had a daughter the same age as Lucy and this why she was only seen once on Knots Landing. But Gary and Val went to Dallas for Lucy and Mitch's wedding.
@@kekwayblaze3176 really? The story was she had her young. I always wondered why when they had nothing left for Lucy on Dallas she didn't move to Knots Landing.
I always felt that Lucy should have at least made a special appearance on this episode. She became underused over the years. They really should have put her on Knots Landing. She would have had better stories.
Yes! As far as I am concerned...tye Dallas dream season events happened in Knots Landings universe. KL season 7 through 14 are reality in the Dallas dream season world.
Some fans of Dallas, said that when it ended in 1991, it should have been JR finding out, that he was Digger's son and Cliff was his half brother. However, what if it was, that Gary was Digger's son instead and that's why Jock resented him and never verbally mentioned this to Ellie. Possibly JR had his suspicions , that's why he drove Gary away. Imagine if that was the case and Cliff Barnes crossed over to Knots Landing and vice versa. That would have made an intriguing crossover plot. Lucy finding out she's Digger's Grand daughter instead of Jock.
Gary shouldn't be upset that he was only given a Percentage. He never worked at Ewing Oil nor did he contribute to the success of Southfork like Ray Krebbs did. Some Families wouldn't have left Gary Two Of Nothing. Even if Jock didn't take care of him, Miss Ellie may have. I had no idea that Michael Sabatino was on Knots Landing. He like a lot of Soap Stars appeared on Dallas. He also holds the distinction of appearing on Soaps on All Three Networks. NBC (Days Of Our Lives), ABC (All My Children) CBS (The Bold & The Beautiful) and he and his Wife Crystal Chappel created Open Book Productions that did a series of Successful Webseries most notably Venice.
@Anthony Thompson It was more out of guilt than love. As for Lucy not working at Ewing Oil, The Women were never encouraged to work there. Jock Ewing was very sexist and territorial when it came to The Business. Remember how he wailed on JR after Leslie Stewart ruined The Deal with The Cartel and he said "A Woman's Place Is In The Bedroom, Not The Boardroom!"
Gary wasn’t upset about being given a percentage. The issue was being given interest only on his trust fund money. A separate issue. Plus on Knots Landing, Gary, Abby and JR all mention that Gary worked for Ewing Oil for a time.
Please more of these crossovers!!! I'm a huge Dallas fan but never saw knots landing so these are like extra Dallas scenes to me! Never saw that s ene with bobby and Garry before. It looked like it belonged in Dallas not knots landing;? A bit confusing lol.
Both series shared the Jock’s Will storyline. Not at all confusing. This episode was transmitted immediately after the the Dallas episode, Jock’s Will.
There was a scene in this episode where Abby runs into Val in the lobby of the hotel in Dallas. The intercom says there's a call for Mrs. Ewing and Abby and Val both go to get it and run into each other. Abby hadn't married Gary yet, but she was staying his suite.
The first scene with Abby driving up in a taxi, that is not even a hotel. It is a luxury high rise condo building in Dallas on Northwest Hwy, near Preston Road. It's called Preston Towers. I live in Dallas, and it's always so much fun to see actual film locations in Dallas, on Dallas and in this case, KL. It's still there but looks quite dated now. The downtown Dallas looks quite dated as well, many more buildings now. I think this was filmed in 1982. And why was Abby in a taxi, and not a limo? lol....I figured a taxi would be beneath her.
The curved building with the busy street in front is in north Dallas. It's actually an apartment or condo tower. I can't tell what hotel they used for the lobby scenes.
We had a Dallas 2012 & now we need a Dallas 2019. Everybody was all hot over Abby, but my choice would've been Ciji. Damn, she was a goddess in my eyes!
@@Dynasty2828 I'd hope most would come back from the last season. I'd want Christopher to somehow survive the explosion & I want to see where John Ross and Judith would go.
@@kekwayblaze3176 Yes JR mentioned Karen's name when Gary and Bobby were visiting him in the hospital and Gary mentioned her to earlier to Miss Ellie saying Sid and Karen Fairgate were there for him during his relapse.
@@GuidoMeyer1511 Rather than call someone a liar when you have no clue what you are talking about I suggest you watch Season 4 Episode 2 and you will hear When telling Miss Ellie about his alcoholism relapse in Knots Landing: Bottom of the Bottle: Part 1 (1980) and Knots Landing: Bottom of the Bottle: Part 2 (1980), Gary says, "Sid and Karen Fairgate were really helpful." When Gary later tells J.R. that he has to return to California, J.R. replies, "Yeah, I guess I'd rush home too if I was living next door to a pretty little bundle like Karen Fairgate." This marks the only time that characters introduced in Knots Landing were ever mentioned in Dallas
@@willisapril ... so I finally had a chance to rewatch that episode. And what shall I say? I stand corrected. You were right. I can't believe that in all those years I've never noticed that. Not that I had ever watched KL anway, but I know who Sid and Karen Fairgate are. But I only watched those crossover episodes in which someone from Dallas appeared. Wonder why they did that, why they had them mentioned by Gary. Mentioning Valene is one thing, but mentioning someone most "Dallas" viewers most likely would not know ... ?
Abby was one of the most awesome characters in the Dallas universe. This episode should have had her at Southfork with her in-laws. She should have become a Dallas character after leaving Knots Landing and married JR after breaking up with Gary. Those two would have taken over the country.
i saw it the first time chronological last year. In germany Knots was always 10 Years behind Dallas and they cut almost every crossover, because the did not want to confuss the dumb audience. But i love how Kristin was hiding in the cul de sac after the shooting. I also thought the cut much of Lucy in Knots, but now i know, there was only one episode with her in knots. a shame :(
I was gonna give it a thumbs until I saw Abby waiting for Gary. I always thought he and Valene were meant for each other.... Abby and Satan would make a nice pair 😉
@@deankenny5358 exactly true. In fact there is a scene in Dallas episode after this in which Lucy is pissed about Garry going so quick! Especially after her kidnapped ordeal
