	Dallas (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dallas was a long-running primetime television soap opera about the Ewings, a wealthy Texas oil family.
		It was broadcast around the world, and is probably the most famous and successful American soap opera outside of the U.S. The series is probably best-known for the central character of J.R. Ewing, the vain, greedy, scheming, crass oil baron played by Fort Worth native Larry Hagman for the show's entire run.
		The communist government of Nicolae Ceauşescu's Romania ran episodes of Dallas in the 1980s hoping that it would convince people that capitalism was corrupt and decadent.
