Dallas (1978 TV series) about some of the decisions made throughout the show's seasons. The participants amongst the cast were Larry Hagman, Linda Gray, Patrick Duffy, Ken Kercheval, Charlene Tilton, Susan Howard and Mary Crosby.

In March 2011, the Texas Theatre in Dallas began showing two episodes of "Dallas" on the big screen every Sunday;
