Dallas, J.R. Ewing, Larry Hagman

Dig it

Dallas Decoder’s next #DallasChat on Twitter will be Monday, February 23, from 9 to 10 p.m. Eastern time.

Tonight’s theme: “Drilling Deep.” We’ll examine the psyches of the Ewings and the Barneses, including their core values, innermost feelings and buried secrets.

Here’s how #DallasChat works: During each hour-long discussion, I tweet 10 questions from my Twitter handle, @DallasDecoder. Fans respond to the questions and comment on each other’s answers, making each chat a fun group conversation.

Here’s a sample exchange:

Q1. What was the source of J.R.’s ambition? #DallasChat

A1. In the beginning, J.R. wanted to win Jock’s respect. Later, J.R. was driven by his need to build a legacy for John Ross. #DallasChat

Here are three tips:

• Each #DallasChat question is numbered (Q1, Q2, etc.), so your responses should include the corresponding number (A1, A2, etc.).

• Include the hashtag #DallasChat in your tweets.

• During the discussion, enter #DallasChat in Twitter’s search field. This will help you watch the search results so you can follow the conversation. Click “All” to see all the related tweets.

I hope to see tonight!
