My wife and I visited Southfork Ranch in March 2018. It was awesome! I grew up watching Dallas, my all time favorite TV program! Being there was so surreal!

I know, right? It was certainly strange to see something that you saw on TV up close and personal. Pretty awesome though, I enjoyed it there. I was so happy when they brought out a modern reboot (with that awesome theme song) but couldn't understand why it got cut after just three seasons. Thanks for commenting! :)

I went to southfork ranch in 2015 and again in 2021 what a thrill

@MMAfighter38113 4 года назад

Still my favorite tv show today. Probably the only prime time drama I’ve ever watched. Southfork’s interiors on the show for the first season were filmed at Bruce Calder’s residence in Turtle Creek. The 1996 reunion movie, ‘JR Returns’ used his residence again for Southfork’s interiors. When production moved to a soundstage at MGM by the second season, the studio recreated a replica of Mr Calder’s residence, which became Southfork’s permanent interiors(downstairs only)until the show’s final season.

@UltimateBucketList 4 года назад

That's right! It was a cool show back in the day. I didn't think the reboot was too bad. Just lacking imagination, that's all.

@MMAfighter38113 4 года назад

I remember in the 1980's immigration in Dallas just exploded. People were moving here from all over the world hoping to get a piece of the action. It really made the city a truly international city and today you meet their descendants- people with, for example, Indian names with a thick Texas drawl. It was such a transformative time.

I was in high school when Dallas first aired. I came from a very religious household. It wasn't until I graduated in 1982 before I was able to watch Dallas. Then I knew why lol it really was quite "something". I tried watching the rebut but it wasn't the same.

@UltimateBucketList 3 года назад

@Nebiros21 5 лет назад

A real ranch but not a working one. I'm not sure what you mean, but I'm reminded that in The Netherlands there is a museum called the Open Air Museum where the exhibits show how farming was and is in the country. Many (not all) exhibits are real and living. The vegetables grown and cheese produced are sold at markets which supplements the income of the museum.

@UltimateBucketList 5 лет назад

Basically that. It's a real ranch, i.e. it's not a hollywood film set - it's actually a real ranch house. But it doesn't make massive money from producing cattle and milk etc. They're there mainly for show.

@rockintetster 4 года назад

I’ve always felt that this house is understated and not a good choice to represent the Ewing family. The Cloyce Box mansion in Frisco was the original exterior for Southfork. It was only used for the original five episode mini series. When Dallas was renewed for its first complete season in 1979, Mr. Box declined the request to continue the use of his house for the exterior shots of Southfork. Thus the producers chose this house, originally known as Duncan Acres for the twelve year run of the show. The Box mansion was a much grander and picturesque home, more suitable to be the house of the oil magnate family. Tragically, the Box mansion was destroyed by fire in 1987. It was accidentally set ablaze by workers during renovations.

@UltimateBucketList 4 года назад

Yes, that's true. And believe it or not, they talk about that on the tour!

@TheEwing69 2 года назад

Yes, after the 5 episode miniseries was such a hit in April of 1978, CBS ordered 13 episodes for the 1978-79 season. The owner of the original ranch said no, as it was too disruptive to his ranching business. Agree too, the original house was much more of house Jock would have built.

I wonder how many people are disappointed when they go to Southfork and realize that the exterior is not the same. I didn’t know for the longest time. It was kind of a bummer when I first found out. Actually, for me personally, I love the inside of the house that was used on the show. The real house seems to gaudy for me. Pretty cool though that that the outside shots were the same. But sadly after several years, the show did fewer and fewer on location scenes at the real Southfork and around Dallas, and ultimately all the show was filmed on soundstages.

@UltimateBucketList 2 года назад

That's correct. I did actually enjoy the exterior of the house and walking along the grounds ... but the interior is definitely different to the television shows!

Amanda thought that Bobby was Jock. (b) Then it is the reading of Jock's will where it is up to his two boys must have the most assets within a year's time in which they decided to handle Ewing Oil hand in hand just like Jock would have wanted it. From the revival series, Cliff Barnes gets arrested in Nuevo Loredo, Mexico and was sent to the Mexican jail. Please do think positive at all times. ©® November 10, 2020 @ 8:05 pm ©®

@davids6145 3 года назад

Pamela, Elaina (or whatever she was called), Judith - to name 3 actresses who were new to the reboot who had radically different looks? I think the reboot failed because it had no clear direction. Should have been braver with season 3. I know JR was gone but watching some of the classic Knots, you had Abby, Greg as scheming villains aswell as various guest villains and it didn't seem crowded. So it can be done. But Dallas reboot season 3 had Elaina plotting, John Ross, Judith, Harris, Cliff, the various South Americans etc - sooooo many villains and so unfocused. 2 or 3 villains could have driven the show and given drama and direction for the other characters. Instead,it was a jumble of convulted silliness with no character grounded. Such a missed opportunity.
