Here is a parody of the opening credits. Imho it is amusing. The two Ellies are there; Jock, Clayton, Sue Ellen with her token bottle and guess what even Charlie Wade features c/w a photo of Brad Pitt.




Jock, Ray and Donna are having morning coffee, in the Southfork dining room. Ellie soon joins them and a marital tiff erupts, (a scene from season 3, DVD-4, 1980 – ‘81):

Ray says to Jock: “About Bobby. According to JR he is on the senate committee that is going to decide about Takapa.”

Jock: “Well now that is one vote we can count on.”

Ellie joins them and says: “Do you really think so little of Bobby?”

Jock: “I think he is smart enough to understand good business, when he sees it, that’s for sure.”

Ellie: “Is that what you call it? I call it ravaging the land, for profit.”

Ray looks at a dejected Jock and then gives his $0.02 worth: “Miss Ellie I understand how you feel about this. But we are not going to ravage the land. We just want to turn a swamp into something useful. Something that people might benefit by.”

Ellie retaliates: “A swamp! When you were a ranch foreman you had a very high regard for the land. It was very special to you. All you used to care about was the best price for cattle feed. But since you have become a Ewing your values seemed to have changed, along with your knowledge. You are now an expert on knowing what is best for people!”

Jock intervenes: “Damn it woman, get off a Ray’s back! Since this whole thing started you haven’t been fit to live with and I am not putting up with it, anymore. I’m going to Dallas!”

Ellie: “Jock if that’s the way you feel, when you get to Dallas stay there!”

Jock leaves the room, while saying: “That’s just exactly what I am gonna do!”

The parody mentioned above is really funny, but I have a question about a parody in the anthology series Dr. Death. In Episode 4 of Season 1, the main character—Dr. Duntsch, aka Dr. Death, played by Joshua Jackson—moves to Dallas; the accompanying musical montage and editing are clearly a parody of the opening title sequence of Dallas. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find that clip on YouTube or similar sites so far. Does anyone happen to have a link to it?
