Description of Dallas - The Complete Fifth Season:
Blink while watching Dallas: The Complete Fifth Season, and one might miss some of the fastest moving nastiness ever seen on the granddaddy of primetime soaps. Hovering over everything is the tragic loss of grizzled patriarch Jock Ewing (Jim Davis, who died prior to season 5), off on business in South America but dead before he returns to Southfork Ranch and the arms of Miss Ellie (Barbara Bel Geddes). While the widow grieves for her loss, charming scoundrel J.R. (Larry Hagman) finds new lows to reach as he conspires to woo estranged wife Sue Ellen (Linda Gray) back to Southfork and blackmail younger brother Bobby (Patrick Duffy) into abandoning his shares in Ewing Oil, thus giving J.R. control. Even J.R.'s schemes mask deeper ploys: getting back Sue Ellen means getting back their toddler son, John Ross, which means adding John Ross's ten shares to J.R.'s arsenal. Sheesh.
There's also more collateral damage than ever from J.R.'s machinations, notably the complete destruction of chronic loser Cliff Barnes (Ken Kercheval), whose romantic overtures toward Sue Ellen stand in J.R.'s way. Not only does poor Cliff lose Sue Ellen's affections, he falls hook, line, and sinker for a fake deal dangled by a J.R. confederate, costing him the respect and support of his family and threatening his health. But there's also the infant son of Sue Ellen's late sister to think about: Bobby and baby-starved Pam (Victoria Principal) want to adopt him, but J.R. claims to be the father and threatens to take the boy away. (How do most of these people manage to live under the same Southfork roof?) Meanwhile, young Lucy (Charlene Tilton) deals with divorce and the emotional aftermath of being held hostage, and Jock's son Ray (Steve Kanaly) threatens his marital stability with impulsive investments in real estate. Everything comes to a head with a new eruption in the old Ewing-Barnes family feud, and an internal fight for control of the Ewing empire. Down and dirty, and completely irresistible. A nice special feature provides a tour of the real-life Southfork ranch. --Tom Keogh
Dallas - The Complete Fifth Season Reviews:
GREAT DVD! 
2008-03-25 - IF YOU LOVE DALLAS ITS A MUST HAVE!! GET ALL THE SEASONS ONE TO SEVEN & EIGHT IS ON THE WAY!
DALLAS
2007-10-30 - Dallas was one of the best shows on tv back in the 80's. We have bought all 7 seasons that are out up to now 10-30-07 and look forward to the other 6 seasons coming out. Much better then todays tv shows. We watch 2 epsiodes every night. We love this show. This was a great show at it's best. For you younger people that never seen this show back in the late 70's & the 80's, it is worth the money to buy all 13 seasons. There are only 7 seasons up to now 10-30-07 but I am sure WB will release the others one at a time. I Hope. Such good actors that this show offers. To watch it on DVD without commericals is so great. You can't go wrong with this show. It keeps your interest from start to finish, We always look forward to the evenings so we can set down and watch this show to see what JR Ewing is up to this time. Thank you for reading my review.

the BEST season after season 1( but before S.5)
2007-10-15 - First of all, all us true dallas fans know this season as season 4.Warners just counts the 5 part mini-series as the first full"season". Thus, this would make the maroon boxset with Lucy,J.R, and SueEllen really season 4 , and not season 5. I disagree with the fans whom say this season is not as good. For me, the green and purple seasons were VERY boring, and my least favorite.its so boring and SueEllen and J.R are getting along, and for the most part, in both those seasons, they are. I dont like Kristen, i think she is a bad actress, and Pams fro in the purple season was repulsive, and so was the troll they stuck her with.And it was totally out of character for everyone to be so concerned that J.R. was shot....cheesy..... in the THIS season, the best season since the miniseries and season 1(the blue boxset),SueEllen takes JohnRoss and flees to Southern Cross Ranch,Pam's acting gets better and she has compelling storylines,Miss Ellie as mentioned before has to deal w Jocks death, we meet Crazy Katherine,J.R. is as nasty as ever,Mis Ellie goes off on J.R,Sue Ellen and J.r divorce, and if I am right, this is one of the few seasons where she is SOBER throughout.Cliff gets set up by J.R and has another affair w SueEllen, and if you thought it was good in season 1, you aint seen nothin yet! five stars! I promise if u get this season, you too will mark it as one of your favorites.
