I knew the characters' names, I could vaguely summarize a dramatic scene, but my crowning achievement was memorizing the tune of the theme song. And every week, about five or ten minutes before show time, I would bound into whatever room my parents were occupying and regale them with my rendition of the song...on my plastic Fisher Price kazoo.
Starting tonight, TNT is reintroducing Dallas to the TV-viewing public. I have my DVR set for two reasons: nostalgia compels me (even though I no longer have the aforementioned kazoo to usher the show in each week) and my favorite childhood babysitter's younger brother has a role in the show. So, tonight history repeats itself in a way. We'll see if I'm a Dallas fan or if I should just go back to fondly remembering the kazoo days.
