Dawn,
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice tribute to Larry. I didn't watch Dallas (guessing I'm one of the few) However I did watch the return of Dallas earlier this year and I regretted not seeing the original) My favorite was I Dream of Jeanie. I never missed that show when it ran in syndication.

Nice Tribute! LOVE that autographed photo - that's really something special!
ReplyDeleteAfter I DREAM OF JEANNIE, who would have imagined he'd go on to play one of the greatest villains in TV history? Surely, that's one of the great career-changers in television!
ReplyDeletePage, Thank you.. Please add me to the list of people, who never saw one episode of, Dallas. I Dream of Jeanie, was the best show.
