I’ve been thinking about this a lot since watching ‘Star Wars: The Acolyte’ and also hearing about the destruction of ‘Doctor Who’ – shows that both happen to be on Disney Plus.

We desperately need a reset – Dallas-style!

‘Dallas’ was perhaps the biggest TV show in the world during the 1980’s, and the story of the ninth season – also known as ‘The Dream Season’ is legendary.

It all started with the killing off of the Bobby Ewing character (the only man without a hat in the photo), as the actor Patrick Duffy had decided to leave the show after the eighth season.

When Duffy made his return a year later, the producers accommodated this by retro-writing the entire ninth season as a dream experienced by his mourning wife Pamela, played by Victoria Principal (wearing the blue suit in the photo). That’s right – an entire season of thirty episodes was turned into a fantasy that never happened, hence the ninth season of ‘Dallas’ being commonly referred to as ‘The Dream Season’.

‘Dallas’ then continued on like nothing happened.

So, can someone please do the same with ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Doctor Who’? – A one-season rewind won’t be enough – these shows need to be taken back at least twenty years!
