ol' Bing's most harmonious production
Mary Crosby, as the notorious Kristin Shepard, joins the cast, replacing Colleen Camp. I don't like actor replacements, but that be damned right now. Mary Crosby is magnificent, she is like a jewel with a menacing glare.

Okay, I saw this back in the day, but what with the wisdom of age, I can tell you, what a glorious sight... Never forget, people, she may portray the bad girl, you all go "boo" and "hiss"... but that's one stunning lady. The scene with Sue Ellen is especially remarkably great, I mean, Linda Gray is formidable, yet the newcomer more than holds her own. Check out that "if you don't pull yourself together" moment, she reminded me of a young Liv Tyler, only in a demented mode.

Aw, I don't know anything much about Bing Crosby, only that he's some old crooner who sang... Christmas songs, was it? Aw, don't care. Best thing about him is his marvelous ultra-watchable daughter.

Kristin is like a lethal poison in a most attractive slinky-smooth bottle... irristible, but deadly. And if I say anything more, I have to hit the dreaded Spoiler button... although you had to have lived under a rock not to know what's gonna happen. But then, of course, four decades later, the young generations just don't know...

...Okay, you uninformed lot, DALLAS, the original, might be old... very old, let's face it... but good...? Aw, shucks, it's better than most anything you'd see switching on the television (and I'm not talking about South African TV, which is a laughable mess beyond contempt, I'm talking to you Yanks and Brits and Aussies and Kiwis and Canadians). Stood the test of time? Way more than that!
