Legend of the fall

Dallas Decoder’s next #DallasChat on Twitter will be Monday, May 16, from 8 to 9 p.m. Eastern time.

We’ll discuss one of “Dallas’s” greatest traditions — its season-ending cliffhangers — so our theme will be “Hang On, Darlins!”

If you’re new to #DallasChat — or if you need a refresher — here’s how it 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, freewheeling group conversation.

Here’s a sample exchange:

Q1. Was Pam’s fall in “Dallas’s” first-season finale an accident, or did J.R. push her? #DallasChat

A1. It was definitely an accident. Ol’ J.R. was mean, but he wasn’t that mean. #DallasChat

Here are three more 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 you can participate. See you there!

Hang in there, darlin’

You better watch out: J.R. Ewing is coming to town this Christmas.

Hallmark will honor Larry Hagman’s “Dallas” character with a keepsake ornament this holiday season. Sheree J. Wilson, who played April on “Dallas” and was a longtime friend of Hagman’s, posted an image of the ornament on her Facebook page today.

The 5-inch tall ornament depicts J.R. clutching a handful of cash and plays the “Dallas” theme music. It will sell for $17.95 and be available for purchase July 9, according to a post on Hallmark’s site.

The ornament joins a host of other officially licensed “Dallas” merchandise that has become available in recent years, including action figures, toy cars and housewares.

Will you purchase a J.R. Ewing Christmas ornament? Share your comments below and read more news from Dallas Decoder.

J.R. and Sue Ellen: How Tweet It Is!

April 10, 2016 by 3 Comments

Tweet talk

Thirty-five years ago tonight, “Dallas” delivered one of its greatest moments: the conversation where J.R. and Sue Ellen reminisce about their courtship.

The scene, which occurred at the end of the fourth-season episode “New Beginnings,” represented a rare cease-fire between two characters who are usually at war with each other. The exchange also showcased the magical chemistry between Larry Hagman and Linda Gray.

To mark the anniversary, I’ve recreated J.R. and Sue Ellen’s conversation on Twitter — complete with the surprise ending.

Click on Sue Ellen’s tweet below to read the exchange, and be sure to check out my other Twitter tributes to the “Who Shot J.R.” revelation and Jock’s lesson on “real power.”

What are your perspectives on J.R. and Sue Ellen’s conversation? Share your comments below and read more features from Dallas Decoder.

Mice and men

Dallas Decoder’s next #DallasChat will be Monday, April 4, from 8 to 9 p.m. Eastern time.

Our theme will be “Barnes vs. Ewing,” but this chat will be a little different than usual: I’ll post the same questions simultaneously on Twitter and Facebook. Hopefully this will give Facebook fans who don’t have Twitter accounts an opportunity to join the #DallasChat fun.

If you want to participate on Twitter, the rules are the same: I’ll tweet 10 questions from my Twitter handle, @DallasDecoder. You’re encouraged to respond to each question and comment on other fans’ answers, continuing our long tradition of freewheeling group discussions.

If you want to participate on Facebook, here’s how it will work: At 8 p.m. Eastern time, I’ll post a special #DallasChat image on my Dallas Decoder Facebook page. I’ll ask 10 questions throughout the next hour under this image; you can post your answers in the same space.

Here’s a sample exchange:

Q1. Do you think J.R., deep down, admired Cliff’s tenacity? #DallasChat

A1. No. The only deeply held feeling J.R. had toward Cliff is hatred. #DallasChat

Here are three more 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 all your replies and other comments.

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

If nothing else, this chat should be an interesting experiment. I hope you can participate!
