November 2, 2008 Dallas Fan 33 out of 35 found this review helpful The worldwide mega-hit drama that dominated the 80s returns with the wheelings and dealings of those entertaining and feuding oil-rich Texans in this Season 10 DVD of all the action from Southfork and Ewing Oil. DALLAS returns to its original formula of focusing on the charismatic Ewing family, their in-fighting and J.R.'s scheming. This dramatically vibrant season won the U.S. People's Choice Award for Favourite Night Time Dramatic Serial in 1987 and its quality scripts, tightly woven plots and imaginative storylines breathe new life into the show. br / br /Larry Hagman puts on his famous Texan Stetson for another great performance as that lovable villain J.R. Ewing who this season engineers one of his biggest and sneakiest schemes in a plot to blow up rival Arabian oil fields and stirs up a hornets' nest of trouble. The Emmy-winning and legendary Barbara Bel Geddes, who is honoured at the American Theatre Hall of Fame for her outstanding contributions to American theatre, displays her great talent as an actress when Wes Parmalee's shock Jock revelation causes Miss Ellie to battle with her family and her conscience. Linda Gray wonderfully portrays a fun and conniving Sue Ellen who sets up sultry Mandy (former Miss USA Deborah Shelton) as her company's sexy lingerie model in a revenge scheme against J.R. Patrick Duffy and Victoria Principal are reunited for their winning portrayal of the 80s supercouple Bobby and Pam who finally remarry after being apart for so long. In an episode written by cast member Susan Howard Chrane (Donna Krebbs), J.R.'s venom level rises against Cliff which sets another sneaky J.R. scheme in motion. br / br /This is a fun and funny season with many humorous lines including some between J.R. and Sue Ellen! Ken Kercheval splendidly plays Cliff Barnes in a light-hearted style throughout this season which makes Cliff more interesting and amusing. Movie veteran Steve Forrest gives a convincing performance as Wes Parmalee in a storyline involving mystery, scandal and intrigue. Victoria Principal and Ken Kercheval both display their good acting skills in some strong and entertaining scenes together. Newcomer Sheree J. Wilson is good as the show's new scheming and money-hungry bitch April Stevens. This season's final episode - with the spectacular end-of-season cliffhanger of Pam's explosive exit - is Victoria Principal's, Susan Howard's and Deborah Shelton's last appearances on the show. The legend that is Larry Hagman won the U.S. Soap Opera Digest Awards for Outstanding Prime Time Lead Actor and for Outstanding Prime Time Villain during this season. This is a tightly-written and taut season and it also has many comic moments and some shocking ones too. br / br /This tenth season is produced by DALLAS veteran David Paulsen (Writer, Director Story Editor of DVD Seasons 6, 7 8) and is well-plotted and well-executed and it also smashed its competition of the new hit MIAMI VICE in the U.S. ratings every week for the whole 1986-87 season which demonstrated the success and strength of this Season 10. br / br /Next on DALLAS in the Season 11 DVD packed with devious intrigue has a nastier and meaner J.R. Ewing who is up to his evil schemes and sinister plotting to exact his ultimate revenge on Weststar. There are 4 seasons left to be released on DVD of the world's most-famous soap opera. br / br / A most remarkable year for the Ewing clan! (SPOILERS) September 5, 2009 Reginald D. Garrard (Camilla, GA USA) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful Remember how each episode of "The Wild Wild West" began with "The Night of"? Or "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." used "The ____ Affair" for each installment? Well, the best way to describe season ten (really season NINE, but that's another story) would be to use the word "year" as a reference point: br / br /This season, in no particular order) was the: br / br /1) "The Year of Valentine Lingerie" - In this storyline Sue Ellen (the one and only Linda Gray) becomes a worthy equal to husband J.R. (the Emmy-deserving Larry Hagman) as she becomes a successful entrepreneur and manipulator. Deborah Shelton, as J.R.'s latest "fling", is stunning as the symbol for the company, especially when she wears a big hat and a color-coordinated outfit. Derek McGrath is hilarious as Ozwald Valentine, the most unlikely designer of "naughty nighties." br / br /2) "The Year of the Awakening" - Fortunately, the controversial "solution" to bring back Bobby (Patrick Ewing) is so quickly introduced in the first episode that viewers can jump into the plot devices for this season. br / br /3) "The Year of the Comic Relief" - While Cliff Barnes (Ken Kercheval) has always been fodder for J.R., in this season he becomes the show's true buffoon, getting involved in one thing after another, in his quest to get the family that "wronged" his daddy. br / br /4) "The Year of Male Chauvinism" - The writers intentionally (I hope) poked fun at the train of thought by having so many sexist comments made by Cliff and others in the cast, as well as situations where the female of the species was treated with less-than-polite respect. br / br /5) "The Year of the Minority" - While there have been minorities seen - and even given a line or two - in the past, this was the season that saw them featured more prominently. Teresa (Roseanna Christiansen), the Ewing's Hispanic maid, gets to screen time and even gets to say more than "Dinner is served". Dora Mae, (the statuesque and always coiffed-to-the-nines Pat Colbert) is shown and heard prominently to patrons of the Oil Baron's Restaurant and even gets to react to the actions of her customers with a telling look. J.A. Preston even appears in several episodes as crafty CIA agent Leo Daltry. Daltry gets to deliver one of the more memorable lines of the season, one that makes J.R. speechless. br / br /6) "The Year of Departures" - Suffice it to say, this season sees several "PRINCIPAL" leavings, including one of the original cast members. br / br /7) "The Year of the Secretary" - All three of the "girl Fridays" get some increased screen time from J.R.'s Sly (Deborah Rennard), Cliff's Jackie (Sherill Lynn Rettino), and Bobby's Phyllis (Deborah Tranelli). Even Sly becomes president of one of J.R.'s "dummy" corporations. br / br /8) "The Year of Jeremy Wendell" - William Smithers as the devious oilman makes a worthy adversary for J.R. br / br /9) "The Year of Ray and Jenna" - Though just as equally dull as "The Year(s)of Ray and Donna", the story does allow some decent moments between actors Steve Kanaly and Priscilla Presley. br / br /10) "The Year of Wes Parmalee" - Though this is probably the most absurd of the season's plots, it does allow from some stellar acting from Barbara Bell Geddes (remarkable as always as Miss Ellie), Howard Keel, and guest Steve Forrest as the-man-who-might-be Jock Ewing. br / br /The sound and picture of the DVD are not up to par with previous compilations and there are no "extras," not even audio commentary on select episodes. Dallas rocks ! February 2, 2009 Mr. Mg Reynolds (Oxfordshire UK) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful I hardly know where to begin ! This sees Victoria Principle say goodbye after Season 10 - she probably got tired having dream't up all of Season 9 ! Ewing Oil is under threat thanks to JR using foreign mercenaries against the Saudis and Sue Ellen manipulates Mandy Winger in a way that JR himself would have been proud of. The strain on Miss Ellie's marriage to Clayton caused by the appearance of a man claiming to be Jock is handled very well indeed. William Smithers is great as Jeremy Wendell - he poses more of a threat to the Ewing's than Cliff Barnes does ! It is sad to see Donna's careerism destroying her marriage but I guess that Ray could try moving with the times. The death of Jamie Ewing is a shame - she seemed to be a Ewing with a conscience ! Jock would have been prouder of her than of JR. JR has a very selective and distorted view of what his late father stood for ! The cast , writers , directors and costume people not to mention the camera crew have produced an excellent season of Dallas ! Amazon deserve a pat on the back for having offered it for sale at such a low price ! If you love quality 1980's TV then this is the buy for you !
