How he rolled

You’re invited to join Dallas Decoder’s next #DallasChat on Twitter, which I’ll hold Monday, January 13, from 9 to 10 p.m. Eastern time. The theme: “Wheelers and Dealers.”

New to #DallasChat? Here’s how it works: For one hour, I tweet a series of questions to my fellow “Dallas” fans. Each question is numbered and includes the hashtag #DallasChat, and so your answers should do the same. I also encourage everyone to include the show’s official hashtag, #DallasTNT, in their #DallasChat tweets.

Here’s a sample exchange:

Q1. Who was a better businessman: J.R. or Bobby? #DallasTNT #DallasChat

A1. Sorry, J.R., but Bobby was better at business. He won the contest for Ewing Oil, after all! #DallasTNT #DallasChat

Here are two tips:

This will be a fun discussion. Don’t miss it!

A time for choosing

You’re invited to join Dallas Decoder’s next #DallasChat on Twitter, which I’ll hold Monday, January 6, from 9 to 10 p.m. Eastern time. The theme: “Chatter’s Choice II.” Like last year’s “Chatter’s Choice” session, you’ll help decide the topics we discuss.

Leave your suggested questions in the comments section below, tweet them to me @DallasDecoder or post them to my Facebook timeline. I’ll choose the best questions and ask them during tonight’s discussion.

If you’re new to #DallasChat, here’s how it works: For one hour, I tweet a series of questions to my fellow “Dallas” fans. Each question is numbered and includes the hashtag #DallasChat, and so your answers should do the same. (The topics are generally centered around a single theme, such as the Barnes-Ewing feud or the Ryland family, although tonight’s “Chatter’s Choice” session means we’ll touch on a variety of subjects.)

Starting this week, I’m asking everyone to add the show’s official hashtag, #DallasTNT, to their #DallasChat tweets. The goal: to help promote TNT’s “Dallas” as we gear up for the third season, which begins Monday, February 24.

Here’s a sample exchange:

Q1. Who is your favorite Ewing cousin, John Ross or Christopher? #DallasChat #DallasTNT

A1. I’m Team John Ross. He’s just like his daddy, and J.R. was always my favorite Ewing brother. #DallasChat #DallasTNT

This is the first #DallasChat of 2014, so let’s get the year off to a good start. See you tonight!
