Joe Boyd...also an 80's kid... I would run upstairs where my mom was watching to watch the intro because I loved the music and even though I am from Pittsburgh I loved the shot of Cowboy Stadium, but downstairs me and my dad watched another show, it was Miami Vice, The Hulk, or Dukes of Hazzard, memory a little hazy, I wanna say all 3 were on Friday night, but that seems unlikely. My mom loved this show, Falcons Crest, and Knots Landing, can't totally remember the old Friday night lineup, we usually all watched tv together, but on Friday's my mom had her shows she watched in their bedroom and me and my dad had ours we watched downstairs. The 80's seem like a lifetime ago, but they were a good time to be a kid bro!

Was 4 when this intro was used. The theme resonated with me even though the show didn't interest me as a kid. (few live action shows did for me then) It really does bring back a lot of memories of watching TV with my parents and siblings.

Culture is cyclical and tends to go up and down. Hence why there are periods of great prosperity and periods of decline. Right now America is at rock bottom still better than everywhere else though but there will be a comeback. There was a reason why Reagan in that era one by an absolute landslide and that reason was people wanted to change and it happened.

At that very moment CBS reporter Wendy Gillette was standing by me and thought that was so cool. She wanted to interview me for her DALLAS anniversary story to be broadcast on all the CBS affiliates from coast to coast. And yes I did get to meet Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray, Charlene Tiltion and Steve Kanalay. It was AWESOME to be part of the DALLAS anniversary story.

I remember I'd wake up at night, go sit at the top of the stairs right outside my bedroom and wait for my dad to get in from work. The front door was directly at the bottom of the stairs. My mom couldn't see me from where she was sitting so as long as I was quiet she didn't know a thing lol. This theme music would be coming out of the living room and it always caught my attention because I loved it. My dad would pull in the driveway and walk in and see me at the top of the stairs and he would say in his Scottish brogue "Well hello there me darlin!" My mom would say "why are you up? Back to bed!" Dad would say "let her eat with me! She's fine, me wee girl! I'll put her back to bed when we're finished!" It felt so late to me but it was probably only 10:00 if Dallas was coming on lol!" I miss my days of youth. I would love to go back to the 1980's.

I don't know what it is but the theme song is a tear jerker. I grew up watching the original Dallas and the new Dallas . I was in tears when Larry Hagman passed away and the new show without him after he passed, had some great plots and life left, until TNT canceled the series. Watching this intro and seeing alot of the cast who are no longer with us really struck a cord on me.

In 2001 I met Linda Gray in London after her performence in THE GRADUATE; she was very nice. Beautiful memories. My cousine (*1950-+1987) Marina Genschow was the original dub for Audrey Landers. And again, beautiful memories.

Just like Paula Cole asked - Where have all the cowboys gone? Such an iconic and awe-inspiring theme. Brings me back to a time when everyone knew it was the rugged heartiness of the cowboy culture that made the whole Dallas area great. We can only hope that Dallas will retain some of its down-to-earth rugged culture and not become just another international city known for its huge airport!
