Lol, must have been a really weak casting year in '89.

No just for "Dallas". Most of the categories changed every year.

Also, "Dallas" had any nomination in 1988 and 1991.

And I don't know for 1984 (the first special issue was published in january 1985 and covered the 1984's season) because there was no information online.

Most Pointless Story - The Return of Jock Ewing

Wrong... The Parmalee plot was DALLAS.

They have got to be having a laugh!!!!!!!!! One of the most god awful actresses to appear in the show, and the dumbing down (big time) of Dallas
