[QUOTE="Spooky Owl!, post: 435648, member: 57984"] The miniseries from 1978 is great in that it gives us that wonderful forlorn '70s ambiance which is a terrific place to begin such a saga -- a melancholy flavor not as obvious (there, but less apparent) during Seasons 2 & 3 if only because the 1978 miniseries was filmed entirely on location, and in the winter. Comparable, in a way, to the quietly majestic 3-hour pilot for DYNASTY which was shot in 1980 (the last hurrah of the '70s) and quite distinct -- and way better -- than the subsequent '80s series would eventually unfold. (Seasons 1, 2 and 9 were just fine, however, for those not familiar with that show). One of the things I like about episode 2 of the DALLAS miniseries focusing on Lucy's slutty shenanigans (a flawed installment David Jacobs decries, mostly correctly, as "awful") is, aside from the wonderful snowy motif, the shots inside the school hallway -- which [I][B]really does[/B][/I] look like real teens in 1978. [B][I]I googled "box ranch snow 1978 lucy southfork" so I could post a little picture, but this was what I got:[/I][/B] [IMG width="621px"]https://www.lovethispic.com/uploaded_images/49597-Lucy-In-The-Snow.gif?1[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
