Blackmail, revenge, threats, old sins and new scams: more Texas-style drama from the long-running saga. April 28, 2009 Dallas Fan 27 out of 27 found this review helpful
The epic soap saga of those entertaining and battling oil-rich Texans returns with more back-stabbing, infighting and family feuding in this Season 11 DVD of all the passion, power play and malice in Dallas. This season has some good brand new stories but also a couple of mediocre ones as well as Pam's weak exit storyline. Larry Hagman dons his trademark Texan Stetson for another great portrayal as that devilish rogue J.R. Ewing who is nastier and meaner this season as he wheels and deals to get back his beloved Ewing Oil.
br /
br /In this eleventh season Bobby won't help J.R. get Weststar so his big brother cooks up a nasty scheme (one of J.R.'s best against family) but it all backfires and a hot-headed Bobby takes violent revenge on J.R. in the Southfork pool. At the Southfork barbecue this year more sparks fly and a sinful past returns to haunt a shocked Bobby. Hollywood legend Howard Keel, the star of many classic film musicals, is good as always as the hot-tempered Clayton Farlow whose marriage to Miss Ellie is spiced up when he befriends the beautiful young Laurel who learns to "never say never to J.R. Ewing" after J.R. blackmails her to sleep with him. It's crime time in Dallas as Sue Ellen and her lover Nicholas burst into J.R.'s apartment where a fight ensues with tragic consequences and culminating in a rehashed end-of-season cliffhanger.
br /
br /Morgan Brittany stars as the memorable Katherine Wentworth who disappointingly returns only for a couple of episodes, a young pre-superstar Brad Pitt has a small role as Charlie's boyfriend Randy, Charlene Tilton returns in the penultimate episode as Lucy, and Linda Gray's real-life daughter plays Sue Ellen's secretary. The Emmy-winning and legendary Barbara Bel Geddes, who starred in 15 major Broadway productions (she was the original Maggie "the Cat" on Broadway in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" which won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1955), continues to demonstrate her amazing and natural acting abilities and in one moving scene she gives a classic and emotional performance when Miss Ellie has a showdown with Clayton at his office. Linda Gray continues her fine portrayal of the conniving Sue Ellen who this season becomes a big thorn in J.R.'s side.
br /
br /Arch-villain J.R. is up to much blackmailing and sinister plotting as he weaves a tangled web in his scheme to exact his ultimate revenge on Weststar which has cleverly interwoven subplots involving Sue Ellen, Bobby, Cliff, April and Kimberly. There's plot-twists, passion and pouting between Sue Ellen and her dashing lover Nicholas Pearce who becomes a victim of J.R. and Sue Ellen's deadly power game. This is Priscilla Presley's final season where Ray and Jenna have a lacklustre storyline of problems with disobedient teenager Charlie, although matters heat up for Ray in his near-fatal philandering (a "Fatal Attraction" rip-off plot). The legend that is Larry Hagman won the Soap Opera Digest Awards for Outstanding Prime Time Lead Actor and for Outstanding Prime Time Villain during this season. This dark eleventh season is produced by DALLAS veteran David Paulsen (Writer, Director Story Editor of DVD Seasons 6, 7 8). There are 3 seasons left to be released on DVD of the world-famous Texas oil opera.
br /
br /Next on DALLAS in the light-hearted and action-packed Season 12 DVD has Southfork playing host to explosions and gun battles in a Western-style range war, and the bitter feud between J.R. and Sue Ellen continues.

Classic JR at his nasty best again. July 14, 2009 Classic TV 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
In this season 11 of this once-in-a-lifetime TV show, the Ewings are at their best since the season 6 dvd at causing a lot of misery for each other - and entertainment for us. JR is at his nastiest again during this season and he is up to his classic tricks and schemes. In this season 11, nasty JR must get called a 'bastard' the most times in a season!
br /
br /Like in the season 6 dvd, this season 11 also has a big business story-line running throughout the season causing a ripple effect on almost everyone. Almost everything JR does in this season 11 dvd is related to his grand plan to get Ewing oil back, just like almost everything JR does in the season 6 dvd is related to his grand plan to win control of Ewing oil.
br /
br /Sue Ellen's devious side is at play and she gives JR his just deserts for all he put her through in the past. Sue Ellen also gets herself a new lover in the form of the handsome Nicholas Pearce.
br /
br /Bobby has to cope with Pam's disappearance as she leaves Bobby and Christopher for good because she doesn't like the way she looks after her fiery accident, which is a lame excuse the writers came up with, although to be fair we do learn in the next season that Pam has in fact been slowly dying all along and she only has a few months to live. JR gets into Bobby's bad books after his scheme goes wrong and there's some great action when Bobby attempts to kill JR by trying to drown him in the pool.
br /
br /It's good to see Miss Ellie and Clayton finally getting a good story-line of their own where Clayton ends up being told to leave Southfork by Miss Ellie due to what she thinks is his affair with a young, beautiful woman, whom JR sets his sights on to sleep with!
br /
br /This is the season with a young Brad Pitt who appears in about 4 episodes as Charlie's boyfriend "Randy" and it was this role on DALLAS that he got noticed by movie producers which led to his big break in "Thelma and Louise" which made him an instant movie star.
br /
br /Episodes are written by Leonard Katzman, David Paulsen, Arthur Bernard Lewis, Leah Markus, Mitchell Wayne Katzman and Louella Lee Caraway. Episodes are directed by Leonard Katzman, David Paulsen, Michael Preece, Larry Hagman, Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray, Steve Kanaly, Dwight Adair, Cliff Fenneman and Jerry Jameson. Episode Music Scores by Jerrold Immel, Richard Lewis Warren, John Parker and Angela Morley.
br /
br /The 30 episodes this season come on three double-sided discs with five episodes on each side.
br /
br /I also like the remaining 3 seasons which have some good drama such as the fabulous Range War with all the firepower and fireworks at Southfork when George Kennedy joins the show, the Weststar/Ewing Oil tanker collision, JR cruelly trying to get rid of his wife Cally, JR's battles with his son James, the story-line with Barbara Eden as LeeAnn attempting to ruin JR with Michelle's help, vampish Michelle causing a lot of trouble for JR, etc., and the final 3 seasons contain many good and entertaining story-lines which are better than some of the junk on TV nowadays.
