Dallas: Complete Seventh Season

Proves again that where there's oil, there's drama. Or Cheney, but that's another topic.

The seventh season of "Dallas" features Southfork on fire, with Bobby to the rescue, as well as the engagement between Clayton and Miss Ellie, which fans a few flames of its own amid the Ewing brood.

As Miss Ellie, Barbara Bel Geddes is the glue that keeps the series together. Amid all the fireworks, the alcoholic benders, the backstabbings and the dirty little adulteries, she's the backbone that sustains the melodrama and, in this season, who lifts it.
