In this week’s episode of Sweater Weather, we open a cultural time capsule: Dallas. We revisit the long-running, prime-time soap opera that captivated our parents and grandparents from 1978 to 1991. As kids, we watched it along with the adults (it was considered sacrosanct "mommy time" in Aaron's house) although we were too young to understand its nefarious characters and wacky plot lines. We were curious to find out, as adults now, if this monumental show of our childhood was actually any good. The short answer: it was!
Our conversation begins with updates on our writing journeys, flu recoveries, and the challenges of finishing manuscripts. Then, we shift gears to discuss our holiday binge of Dallas, reflecting on its legacy as a trailblazing prime-time soap. We share memories of J.R. Ewing, the legendary "Who Shot J.R.?" storyline, and the show's fascinating mix of melodrama, family conflict, and over-the-top glamour. We also talk about Bobby Ewing’s impossibly sculpted hair (hair is actually a lot of our discussion) and Sue Ellen’s transformation into a scheming powerhouse. For the nostalgic or simply curious about a series they never knew, this episode is a fun visit to an imaginary place called Dallas.
