From The TV IV

Dallas was a long running primetime soap opera about the Ewings, a wealthy Texas family who made their money as oil barons. The series was most famous for its cliffhanger story line, "Who Shot J.R." and the use of the "it was all a dream" plot device to annul an entire season.

Although the series was an American drama, it was eventually translated into 90 languages and was one of the first television shows to be broadcast internationally. Incidentally, the series was broadcast in countries like Romania in hopes that it would convince people of the corruption that is capitalism. The series also spawned a spin-off series, Knots Landing.
