  • super

  • The 3rd Season's music is the best of all the seasons in my view. Love that extra 'twang' you hear that starts at 0:22

  • Look, I only have this song on my playlist because the Knotts Landing theme song sucks.

  • I shot JR

  • Cool theme song! Loved the Miami Vice, Dukes of Hazard, Love Boat, Magnum PI and all of the good old TV shows! Where have they all gone????? Today, CSI and Cops, all bullsh*t!

  • i love this melody. and i hated this show when it was on.

  • This song is still kickass, even today. And them cattles, and oil pump, what an icon for Texas. Cant wait to see the new Dallas. Larry was so dropdead handsome.

  • i used to watch it with my dad <3

  • i like this <3 <3

  • This was a great theme song, no doubt. Up there with ISpy, The Virginian and High Chaparrell. But the best theme song of all time was Cimarron Strip.

  • Do you think JR supports Tea Party or OWS? :)

  • The best soap ever, and listen to that bass line

  • Agreed. The horn and string work on this theme are awesome. Hawaii 5-0 is probably next. Baretta is up there too.

  • How you can dislike this ??????? you fkin Bieber fans

  • Whats funny.. Dallas looks nothing like the background pictures now...lol I used to have this song on my answering machine just for the bill collectors to have to hear the whole thing before they left a message!!! lol

  • @jeffery35613 I was thinking the same thing!  LOL Dallas has changed.

  • Compare this with the re-recorded version from 86.. I love the bassline that kicks in @ 00:20 on this version!!

  • @MSLT34 My condolence. I also watched Dallas with my family.

  • One more thing...I hate to admit this, but this theme song is my ringtone.

  • I grew up with "Dallas." Every Friday night. Thanks for posting this.

  • drink beer and watch that Tom Owens episode.disc 1 side b. 3rd episode.

  • somebody needs to modify the dallas intro so it shows wind turbines instead of oil pumps, that would be awesome :)

  • Dallas came on at my bedtime, but my mom and grandma (when I stayed with her) would always let me watch the opening credits. You Texans sure love your cowboy hats!!!

  • I always wondered why Barbara Bel Geddes appeared on DALLAS!!!she starred in such movie classics as Hitchcock's vertigo and more.......

  • @MSLT34 the world went downhill when Paris Hilton and Kim K got their own reality shows!

  • Ohh every time this came on my dad pointed at the Farmall tractor at 0:26 and said say 'Look at that tractor, we need us one of them ".

  • I lived in Dallas as a kid when this show was on in the early 80's. It was so awesome. I too remember watching with my mother. One of the few good memories of my childhood at that time. I also remember being downtown in Dallas once while they were filming and I caught a glimpse of Victoria Principal. That was sooo great!

  • i have watched season 3 and im saving last episode of s3 when I find out what do Ewings drink at the ranch please ...and brand and similer type. What about at Ewing office. I know JR drinks bourbon when doing different ladies. By the way the new Diggers Barnes is kinda cool dont you think. Can you dig it!

  • @CliveGains80s i remember him drinking bourbon out of that crystal bottle... 

  • @ilikeitfunkee You know what kind bourbon?. Thing is whole family drinks from that crytal bottle. maybe its a super luxury brandy?

    when J.R is messing around with women allways has a cheap bourbon bottle. Shame i cant find any trivia on this.

    I just love the new digger in this.

    have you seen Patrick on tv lately. he is awesome.

  • Can't wait for the new show to air, JR was one ruthless vato, thats why the show was great.

  • Watched Dallas every Friday with My mom. I have most of the seasons on DVD and can't wait until they bring the new series on.

  • Friday Nights on CBS back in the early 80's RULED!!!! I remember being in elementary school and staying up on Friday nights watching "The Incredible Hulk", "Dukes of Hazzard" and "Dallas" with my parents.  I miss those days.

  • There was a time when Friday was a night to watch television at home or anywhere else. Often,series broadcast on Fridays and Saturdays,even today,are those on the verge of cancellation. Television viewership is very low on Fridays and Saturdays.

  • The Poisoned Dwarf....1.03

  • The BEST theme song for a show EVER!! Can still remember watching this show

    every Friday night with my late mother. It was her favorite show. Still makes me

    smile:-)

  • @JOJO22858 am sorry for u for ur late mother ,my heart will be with anyone who lost his mother i love u

  • Downtown Dallas reminds me of downtown Los Angeles except Dallas has that cool tower.

  • @1977hmdv you might already know this, but in case you don't, in the earlier seasons some of Dallas' scenes were filmed in LA as well. Southfork's interior scenes were filmed at MGM, and by the 12 season, production filmed primarily in LA rather than Dallas to cut production costs.

  • The more domestic oil that they drill, the more supplies we will have, and the cheaper it will be. JR Ewing for President of US!

  • HAPPY 33RD BIRTHDAY MY LOVE - APRIL 2 1978!!!!!!!

  • ...the lowlifes run everything... 'Drill baby drill' -:)

  • .... it is aruund 5 bucks a gallon! out here in So. Calif...just like the BASTARDS SAID!

  • Best season and best intro of all.

  • @johnthinkpad im agree with u i was looking 4 each intro and this is more funky is awesome

  • .... What a cast!!! but the name Victoria Principal.... un -real..... and so pretty

  • Drill baby drill I sez!!!

  • ... where the hell JR when we need him? ..... in some 'den of iniquity' in LA givin the jerk prez... the run as the price of gas just keeps goin up.. an

    JR don't need the haet, RIGHT?

  • Dallas was complicit in the murder of the great and beloved John Kennedy. From the mayor down to the police department. This television show and the Cowboys football team were invented in attempt to wash the blood from the streets of that tragic day.

  • @squirevet There are many free mental clinics in the United States. Let me know where you live and I can help you find one in your area.

  • @Amar7605 stupidity is somthing I'm sick of.... GET IT? Boss!

  • @squirevet Absolutely TRUE, MY FRIEND... Signed, Daniel Carroll

  • @squirevet if you haden't said 'beloved' I wouldn't care if you lived or died. ... I live in Sunset Beach, CA just north of Huntington Beach, CA.IT costs A pretty penny...-:)

  • Larry is the best! One of the best actors ever seen.

  • and now the remake is coming i dont know but the original is better i love larry hagman

  • No nice tv shows like these nowadays. By the way, if u are learning spanish, this show dubbed in mexico is a worth see.

  • WOW, what a classic show and one of the best theme songs EVER! My momma has always been a huge fan of Dallas, and so have I, even though I was to young when it was still airing in 1980s, but I remember watching reruns on the soapnet channel, before they stopped showing it, I've seen enough rerun episodes to fall in love with show:)

  • ne diziydi be

  • ok simple fact dallas started it and was the best, shows today are crap

  • Sue Ellen had a nice ass.

  • Great tv show, no doubt about it. Im mexican living in NY, by the way, you must watch some episodes in spanish language, great voices. Nice idea if u are learning the language.

  • this my favorite show on fri nights w/ my fiancee

  • Wow - brings back memories from when i was a kid.

  • reminds me of when things were going correct! haha.

    the old bright image we had about America......

    i watched this when i was 4yrs in early 1980's with my parents in Austria. never heard actors real voice.

    anyway, have much fond memories with it

  • i love this song nearly as much as i love the gibraltarian national anthem! its so cool!

  • Sue Ellen's left frame looks like she was drunk or a little bit emotional....not sure on either one.

  • Shara Palin is like Sue Ellen....drill baby drill....!

  • Shame they blew up Texas Stadium.

  • @BigKatz Yes it is, im from Irving,tx and grew up 5 miles from there. But Texas always upgrades and rebuilds...We dont want the Dallas area looking like Detroit or Chicago now do we. :)

  • @ivegotamagicstix

    Actually Chicago has also upgrades and builds new buildings.

  • @ivegotamagicstix Ha, your cow town isn't fit to kiss Chicago's balls.You Dallas Cowgirls hide at a 1/4" of snow and your airport seems to have been designed by an autistic child.See, the chief difference between Dallas and Chicago is that Chicago actually has something to preserve. But Chicago adds to its skyline pretty regularly. Millennium park has opened in the past decade and the new second tallest building in the US recently opened. That's a pretty big change. Hillbilly.

  • @jwhiteout Chicago sucks cock! Don't give me shit on SNOW im from Michigan's Upper Peninsula so go fuck yourself.( I get 260-300 inches a year) Yes I lived in Dallas and it's 100 times better than anything in the Chicago area. So...Eat a dick. Fuck face and tell all you're retarded snowmobile buddies that we are tired of fucking there wife's when they come sledding up here.

  • @jwhiteout Chicago is a fucking hole just like Cleveland and Detroit...rust belt loserville.....have fun with that.

  • @ivegotamagicstix I was getting all set to further argue the virtues of our respective cities. But then I saw your posts. I must say, you are correct! Dallas is by far the superior locale! I especially appreciate your cogent assertion that Chicago is a fucking hole. Well done.  UP of Michigan, eh? That explains why you write like an inbred. You truly are a hill person! Kisses, you Michigan pussy. You're not even a Texan, because you need an IQ of at least 80 down there. Hahaha.

  • love the theme

  • i love Bobby and Pam..one of the best TV couples!!

  • I remember being at school and all us kids were wearing 'I shot JR' badges, Dallas was huge!

  • JR shot JR. JR shot himself to collect on a Life Insurance policy he had.

  • Larry Hagman spent an evening @ Oktoberfest Paulaner Tent Munich Sept 30, 2010, and they where playing his tune when he entered the tent...:-)

  • Wow! I live in Dallas and after taking a look at this intro I now realize how much the city landscape has changed.

  • I was too young to see Dallas but I remember being young and seeing these titles on the telly. I also remeber the LA Law titles with the boot (or trunk) of the car slamming and the licence plate saying LA LAW :D

  • who shot J.R?

  • @Airman241 Kristin shot JR. I am not sure why though. JR had a lot of people mad at him during the series. I am almost positive that Kristin was played by actress Mary Crosby.

  • מוות לטורקיה איראן וחיזבאללה

  • Dallas was played in Malaysian Television (RTM) a long time ago...when i was a kid

    ...Dallas was among the most watched imported TV programme in malaysia at that time... everyone was waiting week by week

    miss that time so much

  • Remember as a kid? 1979 to 1981, Friday Nights

    Hulk, Dukes, Dallas on CBS, then go to bed and get up and watch cartoons till 1:00 in the afternoon on Saturday and then go out and have fun.

    The Memories!

  • @silverzhawk There's nothing like the great outdoors, is there?

  • @THthefirst yep!

  • Jesus, wow it is amazing to see how much Dallas has changed in the last couple of years. Did you guys see the shot of back when NorthCental Expwy was 4 lanes?

  • i watched dallas 3 years and I and my family have the dvds´ + extra!

    but for 4 months we watched the last movie:(

  • The Dallas Cowboys are NOT "America's Team".

  • @LASportsFan4Life You're right. The Mavericks are.

  • Ha ha... Larry Hagman was the BEST. HATED JR, but I guess that was the point.

    My grandma used to watch both this and Dynasty....

    Just as a thought, imagine JR and Alexis Carrington going head-to-head... now that could get really ugly, heh heh.

  • The greatest CBS show ever!

  • @dolphinbuc greatest? I would say perhaps a close second to all in the family but dallas is certainly very high on that list though

  • I loved seeing how many people JR could tick off every Friday night. :D

  • Anyone see KISS singing this one on "Kiss Shreds"? hahaha! Hilarious!

  • Loving it :)

  • CBS owned Fridays with DUKES OF HAZZARD, DALLAS, & FALCON CREST

  • @msmithstud I remember when I was in 1st and 2nd grade I looked forward to Friday nights more than when I was a teenager when the Incredible Hulk and the Dukes of Hazzard were on back to back. I hated when I saw this opening because my parents would make me go to bed!

  • @Gossage54 no shit. My whole weekend was ruined when I saw that bumper. It meant i'd have to wait a whole other week to see my favorite show(s). I'm 35 and i miss the 80's BADDD!!

  • to býval aspoň dobrý seriál.Rád bych ho shlédl ještě jednou.

  • every single one in Sweden were watching this show in the 80´s, cause there wasnt much else to see, we only had two tv channels.

  • Did anyone else get how funky this song is without the horns? Wow, that bass line is awesome!  Sorry, wasn't a musician when I used to watch this show.

  • Agreed; always thought the bassline in the earlier versions of this theme was sick.

  • I love the Serie,the best is J.R :)

  • yes is she really ur mum?

  • very popular in hungary!

  • Wow, half the skyline is missing.

  • they was putting more skylines in the 70's both in dallas ,houston,and san antonio. I remember when it was happening.

  • I know, right? Doesn't even look like the same city at first glance.

  • Victoria Principal fez seu melhor

     nesse seriado ela é a atriz melhor e mais bonita.

  • Miss Linda Gray

    Who Use To Starred In Dalls

    Is My Mum

    That Is The Truth

  • prove it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Charlene T was gorgeous!

  • Ken Kercheval was the must under- rated actor in this soap. He was brilliant - even put 'juicy' Lucy to shame

  • mmmmm...Charlene Tilton.  What a rack.

  • Masterful theme. Best what i hear !!!!

  • Only nighttime soap I watched cause it followed Hulk and Dukes On Friday Nights. Get out of school on Friday afternoon,Watch those shows at night and get up on Saturday and watch CBS cartoons until Saturday afternnon. Then go out and play with friends. Different world back then.

  • Hey, what season was it that JR Bobby and Jock went hunting in the woods and were taken hostage at gunpoint by the husband of the woman JR was having an afair with?

  • It Was Season 3 When Jr And Bobby And Ray Went hunting in the woods and jr and jock get shot by the sons of some guy jock did wrong in has past, but the other one you thinking of is the first season where the woman are taking hostage at gunpoint by some guys cause jr and ray slept with there woman

  • Must be nice to be white and rich in america during the reagan era.

  • It was!

  • das kenn ich auch noch,haben wir auch in der DDR angeschaut

  • Wish J.R. Ewing was President. He would drill here and not rely on that Middle East Oil. :)

  • @Wellch Hahaha, truuee.

  • @Wellch -- I did not know that my comments was so popular.

  • @Wellch haaaa, they r actually gonna start very soon in alaska i believe just wait within the next twelve months or so as soon as they can get oil up to $200 - $300 region. anyone reading this who doubts it please write this down and keep your eyes peeled!!

  • @Wellch ..........JR was president. But his initials were GW.......as in Bush

  • JR the best best.

  • What a fucking Bass Line!!!

  • yeah :D and cool funky guitar riff at the beginning:D:D

    love that effect on the bass, soundz crazy, LOL:D

  • I know, right? I wonder who the player was on this.

  • The best season by far. No nighttime drama touched it in the first few seasons. Best opening too

  • Although I thought Season 6 and 7 (by DVD count) were terrific as well.

    And so was Season 10 --- if it hadn't started out with: "Bobby I had a terrible dream!"

  • This was, overall, the best season ever. But that is just my humble opinion- no cussing me out, guys. :)

  • this show is now on dvd, but only seasons 1-5 though.

  • I think up to Season 10 or 11 is now on DVD

  • I never watched the show cause I was so young but I remember the theme! Lol-I remember hearing it through the screen door while I was outside on my Cabbage Patch Kids bike when I was 6.

  • hagman WASSSSSSSSS dallas

  • que bona serie dallas molt bona

    quins record molt bons desde barcelona

  • If you love Dallas then you'll love my tribute to the show. Check out "Dallas theme done Windsor style" on youtube. You too can make your version of Dallas.

  • Love this Bass Line

  • Jr, was the best. Great actor Larry Hagman.

  • best soap opera ever. Hagman made Dallas a hit.

  • loved it then,love it now. I love a good introduction to a TV show. A theme like this is something one remembers. I used to exercise to it! Carol, Old hippie chick in Toronto,Canada.

  • Best tv show theme music ever!

  • yup, this is guitar driven version

  • legendär

  • God they had some incredibly hot women on this show

  • good intro music but they ruined it when they showed the dallas cowboys stadium *LOL*

  • LOL I cant say much though im from Detroit, LOL still cracked me up

  • I'm 32 and been a DALLAS fan since I was a little girl. My mom, grandma, and I use to watch it in the 1980's when I was growing up.

    I'm collecting the seasons on dvd and got my husband hooked on it. Bobby was my favorite character. I like Patrick Duffy. What a hunk!!

  • Yeah! My mama watched 'Dallas' too! My mother was so much of a fan, my brothers and I re-enacted the 'Who shot J. R. episode with my cousin.

  • @oceandiver75 That was my favorite show every Friday evening. :)

    JR was my favorite one. How many people could he tick off in one episode. :D

  • @oceandiver75 haha I also watched it with my grandma! my fav was Ray :)

  • You're right. This opening is actually from Season 2 (or the second full season). Sometimes, people may refer to Season 2 as the "third season" since Dallas had started out as a mini-series.

  • WB started that crazy numbering when they released the dvds...this season will always be S2 to me.

    It was the first season I was 'allowed to WATCH' as a child...the first year I couldn't watch...but I always listened anyways while I "pretended" to be asleep...when Mom saw that I still knew the plot she gave up and let me watch...I started watching around the time JR found out John Ross was his child and I've been addicted ever since.

  • I thoughty this was season 2!

  • dallas was good the first few years, but it was not the same after the silly dream season and bringing bobby back. plus evil, nasty sneaky carter mckay was played by the goofy cop ed in the naked guns series.

  • It wasn't the same anymore after Gene Hackman left the show.

  • Gene in Dallas?

  • southforch ranch rules !

  • where would i buy the series on DVD

  • A Movie Dearest blog featured video. See my profile for the link and playlists!

  • dallas rocks !!!!!!!!!

  • Charlene Tilton... Tell me, you've been a naughty girl, bitch?

  • great show, great locations, great theme. j.r. ewing made the show. how much backstabbing could j.r. dish out each week.

    southfork ranch rules !!!!!!!!!

  • J.R. was my favorite character. He could backstab anyone. :D

  • I think the decision to list the stars in alphabetical order is wrong here. Hagman should defintely been given star billing.

  • GREAT JOB! Love this season. JR shot. JR's trademark smile. WORK!

  • I've been watching the re-runs of the series here in the UK. First time I've seen the early years in full and what a show. It just doesn't age. Sure the fashions have changed but the stpries feel as exciting now as they must have back in the 80s.

  • Mike7681 = Wrong

  • Any real fan of Dallas knows these WERE the days...just look at the cast!

  • I'm 11 years old and i love dallas. I luv the theme and my favorite characters are Linda gray Patrick Duffy Ken Kercheval and Larry Hagman.

  • I just got back from a trip to Dallas for the first time and we drove out to Parker and saw the Southfork Ranch. Great!
