Dallas Season 11 " Farewell Ray Krebs"

[BFLY1980]

i love the background music.. It plays in the later parts of dallas whenever RAY IS AROUND.. Does any1 know where i can find or get or who created this beat in the back ground

[lindamorgane]

This video is sooo sweet !!

See you soon Ray !!

[MrsBobbyJamesEwing]

Ray belongs with Donna and Margaret not Jenna, Charlie and Lucas.

[Vydio]

@MrsBobbyJamesEwing Donna didn't want to be with Ray. Though I wish she did .... they could have had Ray eventually move to DC and been involved in ranches in Virgina and Maryland, plenty of opportunity there.

[redletter2008]

@MrsBobbyJamesEwing They were desperate for a storyline to keep Jenna busy for the 2 seasons remaining on Priscilla Presley's contract. Reuniting Bobby & Pam left Jenna on the outs. Jenna needed to have some connection to the Ewings for storyline purposes. Producers had her be pregnant with Bobby's child and to start a relationship with Bobby's closest brother Ray. Having Ray move to Europe was just assinine! No way Ray would sell the ranch Jock gave him so he could move to Europe. Just insipid!

[HollywoodSisca]

nice exit for a nice character

[LIONSMANIAC]

Larry Hagman's got a deep-buzz going here; it's SO sad - that booze wrecked his ability to get under our skin. Katzman and Jacobs tried to make up for the hole with wild plots (Europe, Russia, Anglica, etc.) but if Larry (JR) had've just dumped the champagne, the show would have soared back to #1.

[Koach127]

I thought Ray should've stuck around. They could've paired him with April. Bobby and Kay could've had their thing.

[ed2kou1]

I liked Ray, I wish he would've taken the name Ewing. He and JR used to be tight. Soapnet please bring back DALLAS!

[forexrobots212]

@ed2kou1 I believe Ray kept the name Krebs because he did not want people in his hometown gossipiing over his mother's grave.

[kateydavenport]

Never been perfect between is a understatement JR

[TheJaking87]

I would have thought Ray would be glad to move on. He was continually going on about 'Not being good enough' to be a Ewing.

[colderbeer]

Did JR and Bobby ever realize that Ray was their half-brother? Yeah, Jock was his father....feel free to post the answer if anybody knows. Boy, Ray was such a class act...as was Bobby.

[whirlpool28]

Yes, Jock told the whole family in  "The Fourth Son"

[MarkoAnzio]

@colderbeer Oh yea, he was such a class act that he banged an underage Lucy (who turned out to be his niece). He ended up marrying his favorite brother's ex-fiance, and then cheated on her with some physco. Real class act.

[longtee30]

I always liked Ray. He added a lot to the show.

[FinnMove]

I agree. I liked those ranch scenes in Dallas. Hope there had been more of them ! Ray was a straight, nice and honest man.

[JDR71]

StreathamG, so true about the original cast leaving one by one. The new characters were terrible, made the show worse and the ratings proved it! I did not watch as much after the "Dream Season". Still one of the greatest shows ever!

[StreathamG]

Oh wow! How sad.

This season we said goodbye to Ray, Sue Ellen and a final farewell to Pam - awful, just awful that the show lost such fine actors and characters.

I remember Steve Kanaly saying that the producers told him that they had to lose an 'arm' in order to save the 'body' - how wrong they were! The audience wanted the original characters in not the bunch of weak younger ones like James and Cally.

The show died a death not long after.

Sad; just terribly sad, I'm sure the cast knew it!

[SimonTube71]

never liked Ray Krebbs at all; his character becamed a little more interesting in Dream Season when Donna carries his Downsyndrome baby. His relationship with Jenna was a too bad storyline

[Vydio]

I thought the relationship with Jenna should never have advanced beyond the platonic stage. I could never have seen a marriage between them working out ..... though moving far away was a good start.

[daddy1046]

@SimonTube71

i totally agree with you, just one bad story line with jenna, she can t just marry her exboyfriends brother and she was ptrg with bobby's baby when they started dating .shows she does not have morals.Rays character was dull for me and donna was just too much of a society lady for him.but she tried to make it work .cant mix oil and water.

[Vydio]

@daddy1046 So Jenna can't date while pregnant with Bobby's baby? Maybe the guy who got her pregnant should have thought about it before he got her there. Yes, the possibility she wasn't going to be his quasi second wife. Donna seemed more interested in the sleazy Senator at this time ... a shame because I liked Donna and Ray.

[Vydio]

@daddy1046 Donna mus not have morals either, by your standards. Hanging around the sleazy Senator.

[forexrobots212]

@daddy1046 If Pam can marry Bobby after going with Ray, then Jenna can marry Ray after dating Bobby.

[NFitalianGuy]

Ray became enemies with JR, when JR slept with Ray's girlfriend Garnet MCgee. I find it funny because way before that, Ray slept with Sue Ellen one night she and JR had a huge fight. I think this was like maybe 4 or 5 episodes in the first season. Ray became unbearable when he and Jenna became involved and he turned into a real ass. He was constantly ragging on Charlie. No wonder why she ran to bobby, Ray slept w/every main Female Character in the show except Miss Ellie.

[vAIERIEHARPER121]

who did ray have a baby wit?

[bunnyluv41]

Actually, he was raising Jenna and Bobby's baby boy as his own.

[dcntry]

ray had a baby with donna krebbs

[MrsBobbyJamesEwing]

Donna and Ray had a little girl name Margaret Krebbs. Donna and Ray belong together with their daughter. I didn't like the pairing of Ray and Jenna at all.

[JamesLiveProductions]

Bobby was the father: it was Jenna's baby!

[Jimmyhendrick2]

Sad scene. It brought a tear to my eye. If I'm right, it's after JR moved out of Southfork. I almost feel sorry for JR.

[bette1908]

they could have utilized him on Knots Landing instead of getting rid of him

[poohcampbell1]

Ray a good ol boy, get real.he slept with all the ewing women except ms.ellie..1st pam, lucy,sue ellen,jenna.couldn't he find his own women in stead of sleeping with his brothers wives/girlfriends.glad he's gone.

[WCD73]

I always liked Ray!!! too bad he did'nt stick around for the remainder of the series.

[vAIERIEHARPER121]

he slept with sue ellen AND PAM in what season?

[weststaroil]

Ray never slept with Sue ellen and Ray slept with Pam before the show began, it was disclosed in the show's first few episodes.

[FamilyGuy770]

Ray, DID in fact sleep with Sue Ellen, once. Luckily, it was only a one night stand.

[weststaroil]

Ray was a good guy. He tried his best its just sad he wasn't considered a real "Ewing". I think it would have been better if he had changed his name to Ewing.

[jksonny]

JR's farewell was perfect; one of the last bits of good writing. Poor Ray - I can't imagine another character more out of place in Europe!! Clayton tells him that MAYBE they'll visit?!!? You only have hundreds of millions in the bank and nothing but time on your hands!! Why the hell wouldn't you visit your best friend, stepson and new grandchild????

[dumais1985]

he left southfork ranch ??!!!??? the fool.

[nistorman]

Ray Krebbs rules!!

[bdsnook2]

All die-hard Dallas fans know that at this point the show was a shell of what it used to be. I'm very glad they had the intellect at the time to play Ray's Theme Song one last time. I bet they hadn't played that line since '78.

[FamilyGuy770]

Kinda sad. I wish that they had let Ray be evil for more than just the first season and part of the second. The show had a certain element when he was evil and Kanaly acting is better also when he plays the evil and angry parts.

[VengaboysRbackINtown]

Ray was never 'evil'.

[FamilyGuy770]

Obviously, you haven't watched the show at the very beginning because you don't know what the hell you're talking about.

[VengaboysRbackINtown]

Actually I have and Ray was never evil. Bit of a philanderer maybe, a jack the lad but at what point did he ever do anything that could be construed as 'evil'?

[FamilyGuy770]

At the very beginning of the series, him and J.R. were the best of friends. If you're in cahoots with J.R. your at the least somewhat conniving.

[trvwatson]

Yes he let donna or dana go.

[dcntry]

you got that right ray was never evil at all. he was one of good guys along bobby and clayton. i cried on this scene when ray left big time. because he is soo close to bobby and they are really good friends and they are very close together to. and ealier in season bobby lost pam and now bobby got to say good bye to best friend ray krebbs to.

[familiakft]

They were half-brothers not just friends.

[MsStephanieRogers]

I'm glad J.R and Ray settled there differences here. :)
