Show SAYS SHE by Im basking in that exhilarating feeling of being right. a bit of disdain for those who lived and died by what happened to Phil and Tara or whoever and whom- You know the feeling. It comes right, you feel like the smartest being on earth. According to reports out of New York, several days ago I correctly to Nielsen), we became dicted who shot J. R. Now if youre not a Dallas fan, youre probably wondering just who the heck is J. R. and why would anyone care who shot him. Actually the fact that I am a Dallas fan comes as a surprise to me. It horrifies my mother. Weve never been big on soap operas in our family. In fact, Ive always had was, Sue is in the first season you hated, but who during the second season became the shows heroine. Dusty supposedly perished in a plane crash, although the body was not found. Therein lies the clue. Of course Sue Ellen will be blamed, but there were at least half a dozen others with good reason to shoot J. R. You see, J. R. is the classic villain. Hes rotten to the core. Its hard to believe the character is acted by that loveable, darling captain from I dream of Jean-ni- top-rate- well-writte- When they made it a permanent series we were delighted and when it became one of Amerd ica's shows (according e. J. R. and the whole Ewing clan are filthy rich. And they didnt get that way by being totally honest in their dealings, though J. R.s doings frequently go beyond the normal bounds of dishonesty. Such was the case the night he was shot, which was obvious to even the casual viewer that that was the R. Now for you top-rate- non-fan- s, Ellens lover. Sue Ellen J. R.s wife, a character who suffered some when it moved to Friday night, since during basketball season I work and am forced to miss the first 20 minutes or so. And often my social schedule and my responsibilities with school plays swallows up other Fridays. But like all soaps, it is pretty easy to follow, and there is always someone to fill you in. You can also glean a lot from the previews. Im also at a loss to explain why d Dallas is a show. It really isnt all that While the acting ranges from fair to good, it doesnt rank with Masterpiece Theatre. But would you believe that in staid old England there is such fascination with Dallas that bookies are taking bets on who shot J. R.? Which brings me back to my original point. The other night while watching a rerun (one that I hadnt seen), I predicted that Dusty shot J. rt pre- ecstatic. I ever. Being a working girl Ive not had much opportunity to become hooked on the daytime dramas. Nighttime soap operas really arent new, and they dont really have a lot to offer. Witness Payton Place of the early Sixties. Dallas is out of the same mold. Few, if indeed any of the characters, display the ideals I grew up with and still revere. Thats probably why my fascination with the series perplexes my mother. It all started when the show was introduced as a five-pamini series A group of six of us became engrossed in it then and suddenly it became a general topic of conversation whenever we were together -in exactly the same fashion as soap operas are with certain housewives. when you spout a theory that may or may not be sneered at by your close associates. When your theory is proven A Michele Bartmess Dusty is, or while watching that rerun, looking into his gorgeous blue eyes. My friends looked at me as if to say, "Sure Michele, its been a tough week and you were out in what little sun there was for a long time. Thats why Im basking in the limelight now. There was a report out of New York Thursday that somebody had talked and that Dusty is the guilty party. The only problem that leaves is that the producer, who will likely fire the person who talked, may now be forced to change his mind and replan the entire program. Then Ill never know for sure if I was really right. Theres one more chilling possibility. The leak may have been a plant. If it was, remember, you read about it first right here. In the meantime, well all just have to wait until September. Last year Dallas was about the last of the shows to start its new season. I just hope he producer doesnt chuck the whole thing. After all, us soap addicts have needs. end of the current season. Last year Sue Ellen was involved in an auto- mobile accident and spent the summer clinging between life and death along with her baby that may or may not have been J. R.s. It was, we learned in late January. I came up with Dusty because he was not among the obvious supects, since he was supposedly dead. Inasmuch as the show is pretty predictable, it was obvious that Sue Ellen was not the guilty party, despite the fact that she inserted a revolver in her purse and was in the building (J. R.s office), when the crime (?) was committed. Bobby is simply too good to have done it. Cliff wouldnt do it that way and the pair that J. R. had bamboozled out of millions, again, are obvious. That left Kristen and Allen, who would have been good long-showith the London bookies. I cant really explain how I arrived at Dusty. I just blurted it out ts V.
