"DALLAS" Season One (1978): Episodes Ranking
The first season of the CBS television series, "DALLAS", aired during the month of April 1978. This premiere season only featured five episode and is regarded by some as a complete miniseries, instead of a season. I regard these five episodes as an entire season and below is my ranking of those seasons:
