Dallas: Ninth Season DVD Review (2008)

Proves once again that where there's oil, there's drama.

The ninth season of "Dallas" features the usual doses of death, destruction, barbed tongues, backbiting, law suits, swift kicks to the groin, missing people, and the return of Bobby (Patrick Duffy), who bit the big one at the end of the last season but who nevertheless shows up in Pam’s shower at the end of this season.

Yes, this is the infamous dream season, which set pop culture ablaze back in the day.

Barbara Bel Geddes was out sick for the eighth season, but here, in her return as Miss Ellie, the one character who holds this entire show together, she once again sets herself on auto-pilot to grimace her way through the fireworks, the alcoholic benders and all those appealing little adulteries.

Grade: B
