Movie Reviews of Dallas: The Complete Eighth SeasonMovie Review: Dallas Season 8- Turmoil In Texas With Some New Faces! Summary: 5 Stars
The 1984-85 Season of "Dallas" would bring more twists and turns than a Texas tornado, as Bobby's "would-be-killer" is still on the loose looking for J.R., Jamie and Jack Ewing are introduced, Sue Ellen tries to drown her sorrows, and Lucy once again ties the knot with Mitch! TV Mom, Donna Reed, steps in for Barbara Belle Geddes as Miss Ellie and Patrick Duffy gives some of his best acting after deciding not to return after this season, which in my opinion, spelled diaster for this much loved prime time soap! A very enjoyable season with the second most dramatic "season finale," next to the "Who Shot J.R?" cliffhanger, in the show's 13 year run. Here is a list of the 30 episodes included in Season 8:
