Message: <blockquote data-quote="Frank Underwood" data-source="post: 1964" data-attributes="member: 35">I started watching Dallas during the TNN reruns in September 1996.  I was 13 at the time, and a big fan of The Dukes of Hazzard.  I would watch the reruns all the time on TNN, and started seeing commercials for Dallas.  I didn't think anything of it at the time.  However, I flipped through the channels one day and caught the show during the hostage scene of "Winds of Vengeance."  It caught my attention, and I was hooked from then on.  I can also recall when I saw Jock's death for the first time.  I had no idea that Jim Davis had died in real life, so I was pretty devastated when I saw the tribute to him at the end.  It caught me off guard, and I remember being depressed over it for quite some time.  That's when I knew just how hooked I was.  I also thought the show would end soon after because I didn't think it would continue without him.  Of course, I was obviously in for a big shock!  In a way, I consider myself lucky to have grown up without the Internet.  Although the show was already 18 years old when I first saw it, I had no outside influence to spoil it for me. As a side note, my mom once asked me what I was watching during an early episode.  I told her it was an old show with an older Major Nelson and a young Frank Lambert!  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
