Starts Off Dull, But Heats Up Mid-Season,
By
This review is from: Dallas - The Complete Sixth Season (DVD)
**NOTE - This review contains Spoilers**In Season Six of "Dallas", the family gathers for the reading of Jock's will and the terms pit Bobby and J.R. against one another in competition for Ewing Oil as the brother who turns the biggest profit in 12 months wins controlling interest. This is the main plot line running throughout these 28 episodes that originally aired during the 1982-83 TV season, when "Dallas" dipped to #2 in the ratings after two years at the top. The competition between the Ewing boys tears the family apart to the point that Miss Ellie goes as far as having Jock declared mentally incompetent to dispute the terms of the will. Pam moves out of Southfork and into a hotel with baby Christopher, and soon takes up with hunky and attentive Mark Grayson (John Beck). Conversely, Sue Ellen and J.R. become closer than ever and remarry. J.R. signs on as consultant for competitor Harwood Oil, at the request of inexperienced but devious and leggy heiress Holly Harwood (Lois Chiles). Holly soon regrets doing business with the snaky J.R. and tries to cause trouble by seducing him then reporting their "affair" to Sue Ellen. The escalating war for Ewing Oil also prompts J.R. to resort to illegal dealings with Cuba. Donna heads up a new Texas Energy Commission, which puts her at odds with J.R. Meanwhile, Ray brings his irresponsible cousin Mickey to stay with them, in hopes the kid will shape up. Mickey eventually begins dating Lucy, who having been impregnated by her shutterbug stalker last season, undergoes an abortion with only Pam being in on the secret. Tragedy strikes near the end of the season and Mickey ends up in a coma after a car crash in which a drunken Sue Ellen was behind the wheel. Miss Ellie gradually begins socializing as a widow and as the season progesses, she grows particularly close to Clayton Farlow (Howard Keel), to the consternation of J.R. After Cliff's suicide attempt in last season's finale, mother Rebecca (Priscilla Pointer) declares all-out war on the Ewings, causing friction between her and Pam. Rebecca uses her considerable wealth to buy an oil company and appoint son Cliff president. Unfortunately, a series of events leads to Rebecca's death after a plane crash mid-season. Afton (Audrey Landers) plays the "good girl" this season, faithfully standing by Cliff after his suicide attempt and Rebecca's death. Half-sister Katherine (Morgan Brittany) butts heads with Cliff over her father's company, and secretly tries to widen the rift between Bobby and Pam, so she can have him for herself. At season's end, Pam asks Bobby for a divorce, Sue Ellen is driven back to the bottle, and Southfork goes up in flames during a fight between J.R. and Ray, with John Ross and a drunk Sue Ellen asleep upstairs. This season dragged a little, as the contest plotline between J.R. and Bobby was not that exciting. Things pick up mid-season around the time of the plane crash and get better from there. The offices at Ewing Oil get a makeover and Bobby's secretary Phyllis (Deborah Tranelli) gets more screen time. While Sue Ellen's trendy mullet 'do didn't appeal to me, Pam looks absolutely ravishing this season, her hair slightly lightened to a flattering rusty brown. Patrick Duffy has beefed up some and Bobby's sporting a bulkier physique. My favorite scene this season occurs when J.R. pimps out Sue Ellen to help seal a business deal and acquire a badly-needed oil refinery. J.R. purposely shows up late so the client can have some "quality time" with Sue Ellen. When he arrives with the excuse that "one of my oil well's caught fire", Sue Ellen snaps back "Did the telephones burn TOO?". Her delivery is sharp, cutting and priceless. Visually, this is the best season yet as all the scenes look bright and crisp and new. The discs are again dual-sided and come in three plastic snapcases, just like the Season 5 set. Not the best season, but still engrossing TV from the '80s when prime time soaps ruled the airwaves.

Warner Home Video - Speed up the release dates!,
By TexanInWashington - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dallas - The Complete Sixth Season (DVD)
If anybody from Warner Home Video is reading this, have you thought about the implications of releasing a 13-season DVD series at the rate of two seasons per year? This puts Season 13 being released in August of 2010! All of us Dallas fans would like to get the whole collection while the world is still using the current DVD format! Who's to say what the fast-moving rate of technology will have moved us all on to by then. If you're a fan and feel the same way, I ask you second the sentiment and lend your vote by finding this review helpful.

Excellent Season,
By Clavinbot - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dallas - The Complete Sixth Season (DVD)
I am excited to have another great season on the way, and I agree that they should speed up release because I love the later years and I want to see them now. Anyway, 5 is a great year, some say the best, with the year long battle for Ewing Oil, JR and Sue Ellen remarrying and then hitting the rocks again, Bobby and Pam splitting, Ellie romancing Clayton and much more, it is definitely a strong contender for most important year of the series. Starring all the same cast returning from the last year including Barbara Bel Geddes, Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray, Larry Hagman, Susan Howard, Steve Kanaly, Ken Kercheval, Victoria Principal, and Charlene Tilton, as well as Also Starring Audrey Landers, Jared Martin, Priscilla Pointer, John Beck, and Howard Keel as Clayton Farlow, it's a very entertaining season that really holds up well even today.

Bar none: one of the best seasons, if not THE best.,
By G. Ciepiela "oldmovielover" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dallas - The Complete Sixth Season (DVD)
Dallas season 6(really season 5) is unbelievable.like some other seasons, the storylines and arcs in this season come fast and strong. I even liked this season more than season 3, which everyone seems to favor the most. But i think this is my favorite with the season before it maybe in 2nd place.The end of the previous season, everyone finds out Cliff Barnes attempted suicide partly because of being cheated by J.R.Miss Ellie tells him something to the effect of" You are a cold and unfeeling man,J.R, and as soon as BObby gets back( from California with pam, investigating christophers birth),I will dismantle you as president of Ewing OIL", and in this season opener, she does just that...Little does she know J.R, soon runs another oil business,Harwood Oil, via a pretty little thing named Holly Harwood, who at once becomes Jr's reluctant ally,and then rival. Holly plans her revenge,and has much to do with changing his and SueEllens life in a way that has reprecussions for the rest of the series.The previous seasons, you got glimpses that Pam and Bobbys marraige was headed for trouble.When Jocks will is read and announces the fight for Ewing oil, their marraige cannot survive the intense change in Bobby and the toll it takes.In some episodes Bobby is irritable and downright nasty!(around the time he and ray are following Walt Driscoll), and this is the first season Bobby resorts to J.R like tactics like blackmail, to get his way in the business world..also worth mentioning is the more prominent reintroduction ( she was introduced in a previous season as were many other characters)of Cliff and pams devious half sister Katherine Wentworth, and Prescilla Pointer as their mother, Rebecca respectively. Miss Ellie gets closer with Clayton....boring, and Cliff is an amazing actor,,,he really owns the scenes he is in and ended up as one of my favorite characters as the series progressed although i feel he was unlikeable in the early seasons.lastly, The Lucy/Mickey storyline just kills me.The writing and chemisty between is so soft, and feels so special, you almost forget you are watching two characters in a tv show...I dont want to give anything away, but they make him out to be the love of Lucys life, certainly much more of a connection than she ever had with Mitch.Their story arc culminates in a very important plot point ...Charlene Hilton(lucY) is another one that won me over this season, from the abortion storyline at the beginning of the season( she was really pregnant by the time they started shooting the season, which explains all the funny/clever ways they had her sitting down or standing behind something for the first few episodes), to the Mickey storyline, you could really see what a good actress she was, and her costar was very talented too.All the episodes are excellent, none are boring,like all dallas seasons, the last 4 or 5 episodes are especially juicy, and the season finale office confrontation between J.R and Pam is classic, I promise you will want to watch this season over and over.
