Welcome to Finland, Dallas!

Dallas began in Finland on Wednesday, September 2nd 1981. Finally!

This article from magazine Apu was published August 28th, a few days before Dallas’ beginning. Title proudly proclaims ”Welcome to Dallas!”

The article informs us ignorant Finns that Dallas is perhaps the most popular tv show at the moment everywhere. Even in Sweden, where half of the population is watching Dallas.

Moreover, we get to know the main players. There are Miss Ellie and Jock, of course. Charlene Tilton, the new Lolita of the eighties, plays Lucy. Sue Ellen is the former beauty queen. Then we have the newlyweds Bobby and Pam. Funnily enough, Victoria Principal's body is one of the main attractions of the show according to Apu. How true! (I couldn't get my eyes of her and I'm gay).

However, Dallas is eventually two letters: JR. He's the guy everyone loves to hate!


There’re also some spoilers about Knots Landing and some shootings and deaths and babies and recasts. Oh dear. 

Enjoy!
