This series has a different feel, as the family mourns the loss of Pam and heralds a whole new beginning for Bobby. J.R. takes evil to a whole level in his bid to take over West Star from the hugely untalented Wilson Cryder (bring back Jeremy Wendell!!!!!!!!!!) and concots a scheme to get Christopher taken away from Bobby - talk about brotherly love!!!!!! Miss Ellie is devastated that Clayton's attentions have turned to a younger model called Laurel, and sinks her despair in booze. Talking of which, this is the series in which Sue Ellen really grows in strength. Gone is the voddy swilling and trips to the sanitarium and in walks Nicholas Pearce - a hottie in every way, with a shady past. April has nothing but trouble after aquiring her new found wealth. Cliff only has a backseat role in this series but he'll be back on form soon - don't worry about that. And finally, Poor old Jenna. She's married to Ray but is struggling with her obvious love for Bobby. And daughter Charlie turns into Kevin the Teenager, but the lucky girl does get to role in the hay with a lovely young fella called Randy - Brad Pitt!!!!!!!!!! This is an action packed 30 episodes and a must for real Dallas fans. Roll on Season 12 - bring on Lovejoy!!!!!

Format:DVD
Give this season a chance - this season has a different feel to it than previous ones, lots of new characters and an edgier, perhaps less glamourous style. There are plenty of things to criticise: the loss of a great character ( Pam ), the return of a tedious character ( Lucy ), the increased role given to an even more tedious one ( April ) and the silly storylines given to Ray/Jenna/Charlie ( although there is a certain curiosity value about the appearance of Brad Pitt as Charlie's boyfriend ).
Also the DVD suffers from the same technical fault of season 10 - at times terrible picture quality. And overall this season does take time to get going, the early episodes are lifeless - Bobby and Cliff hanging around Pam's bedside, Sue Ellen lovey-dovey with JR ( a bit improbable after all he's done to her ) and Miss Ellie whinging to Clayton about his health problems.
But the series does come good after a while, building to a great climax. The main person to thank for that is ( who else? ) JR and not far behind Sue Ellen. Larry Hagman and Linda Gray have never been better in their roles - for all the changes made this season this pair are still the undoubted stars of the show.
It's great to see JR build his company back up from scratch and manipulate just about every other cast member in his scheme to get back at Weststar, but also to see a stronger than ever Sue Ellen scheme to stop him. In a funny sort of way we root for both of them in this fight and the fireworks between them are classic. Sue Ellen has a great love interest this season in Nicholas Pearce, superbly played by Jack Scalia, a shady but basically likeable character with a backstory/subplot worthy of The Sopranos.
Another highlight is the Clayton Farlow/Lauren Ellis affair, not only is this a good storyline for Miss Ellie/Clayton but it's a joy to see the way JR turns this to his advantage and bed the unbelievably beautiful Lauren.
JR finally gets back at Jeremy Wendell ( although this has to wait till the end of the season as Wendell is mysteriously absent for most of the series ) although ultimate revenge has to wait until season 12.
Bobby has a mixed season, Patrick Duffy shows his acting ability as he comes to terms with Pam's departure but too many of his scenes are with a whiny 7 year old ( Christopher ) and the writers can't seem to make up their mind about his love life - or whether he should even have one at all.
So overall would recommend this series, slightly to my own surprise; try to forget Pam, concentrate on JR/Sue Ellen and the new tone/direction this series is taking. Can't wait for season 12 - how many other tv series would you say that about!

The beginning of the end for me ....
The void left by the nosensical departure of Pam is a gaping vast whole in the shows structure that nobody can fill. April least of all. Read more

The year that the "seniors" got a chance to shine!
Of course, the star of the show was Larry Hagman as the devious J.R. Ewing. He was always given the best lines and the most memorable confrontations. Read more

Very good Season of Dallas
Dallas season eleven was very good watching but not quite as good as all the other seasons, but JR is up to his usual tricks!!
