Morris' book "Prime Time Network Serials: Episode Guides, Casts and Credits for 37 Continuing Television Dramas, 1964-1993”.I find it astonishing that after the shooter on JR was resolved, the next episode had fewer viewers than the first three episodes of season 4. I expected viewers to want to know how JR was dealing with Kristin's pregnancy.I had read somewhere that the second most-watched episode of Dallas was the one where Lucy and Mitch got married, but based on ratings from Bruce B. Morris's book, that's not true. It is only the fifth most watched episode.The magical 30.0 rating mark was exceeded with every episode in season 4, only twice before and three more times in season 5.Although I'm happy to see the full ratings, I'm not sure if every episode has the right rating. Years ago I picked out ratings myself from newspapers from back then and some of them differ from those on Wikipedia. There are also differences to TV Tango. TV Tango gives the season 10 finale a 21.5 rating, while Wikipedia has a 29.5 rating, which would have been the best rating since season 5.</blockquote>
