New video about Dallas...

I like all the stuff about JR, Sue Ellen, Bobby and Ann but all the parts about John Ross' backstory still has me worried. He wasn't that young when he moved to Europe and he moved there by choice. I'd hate for them to say Sue Ellen forced him to move away from the ranch.

This is great.

**Sid Fairgate** · 06-09-2012, 01:03 AM

Yes, it's very well done. I did catch the contradictory part about Sue Ellen taking John Ross to England, and John Ross even says in another clip that Sue Ellen "hid" him from JR in boarding school. That goes against Sue Ellen allowing John Ross to choose where to live, and him choosing to move to England with her. I can't see Sue Ellen going back on that and purposely keeping John Ross from seeing his father.

Then again, we don't know what transpired during the years the show was off the air, and perhaps circumstances could have arisen that would cause Sue Ellen to hide John Ross away in boarding schools.

Didn't she try/want to take full custody of John Ross at one point?

P.S - The video's not available in the UK...

This is just great! A history of the Ewings! But in all these trailers and previews, I have NEVER seen Cliff although he's in 3 episodes. The Barneses are even mentioned is this new video, but they only talk about Digger. Wouldnt that have been the perfect moment to show some footage of Cliff? C'mon, they even showed Elena's mom, the cook - seriously, who cares about her?!

Is Ken Kercheval maybe that bad/ill looking that they totally "hiding" him? Or am I just seeing something into this?

Originally, yes. However, she let John Ross choose where to live in season 12 (DVD). She made JR sign a document giving her full custody, and she let John Ross stay at Southfork in return. However, John Ross decides to live with Sue Ellen in the final season because he was jealous of JR's relationship with James and Jimmy.

However, ProdicalSon brings up a good point. It is possible something happened that caused Sue Ellen to keep John Ross in boarding school. In JR Returns, JR even asks Sue Ellen if she's going to be the one to change things between him and John Ross. She says "I did it before. Don't think I won't do it again." So it is possible she was keeping him from JR during those years. Those were also the years that Cliff owned Ewing Oil, so that goes along with John Ross mentioning Cliff "stealing" the company from them.

But consider this: John Ross was born in 1979 and JR Returns was made in 1996, thus John Ross was about 17 years old. Therefore, Sue Ellen's legal custody or legal guardianship of John Ross had less than one year left. Once John Ross turns 18, he's no longer a minor, he's an adult, and the legal custody/guardianship becomes invalid at that time.

BTW, I liked it when John Ross tell's JR that he's staying in England and calls Jimmy "that stupid baby."

As usual, this video is "unavailable in your country". I'll make much more of "Dallas" "available in my living room" on June 14th hahahaha!

**Karin Schill** · 06-09-2012, 09:42 AM

I can't watch it either since I don't live in the US.

**B.J. Ewing** · 06-09-2012, 11:57 AM

Can't see it either. Stupid.

**Nemos** · 06-09-2012, 01:12 PM

Brilliant! The show is all I hoped it to be!

**Cutlass Supreme** · 06-09-2012, 04:48 PM

Dallas is one of the most internationally successful programs ever to come out of the U.S. Of all the properties to restrict on YouTube ...

**david1987** · 06-09-2012, 07:27 PM

Is it just me or has everything post season 10 been rewritten?

**Matthew Blaisdel** · 06-09-2012, 10:31 PM

For those of you that can't see it: just found a solution:
Use www.proxy.org
choose f.e. "Proxyultra.com for US" and paste the youtube adress in top ("Enter a URL to visit:")
It will maybe ask you to install a certificate, but it's trustworthy and - most important - it works..
