Southfork Ranch

Yesterday the folks drove to Southfork. It is the home of the show, Dallas and of course, JR. Mama watched the original show, but hasn't watched the new show.

The drive to Southfork visitor's center.
A tour is offered of the house and visitors are allowed to roam the grounds.

Original cast.  The lady in yellow and the man in the plaid jacket owned the home.  The man's name is actually J.R. which is  just a coincidence.

Mama said the tour was fun.  There is a lot of camera magic to make the house look larger than it is on TV.

Our space bar is broke so writing the blog is difficult.  We hope to fix it soon.

  4. Mum watched the new Dallas the last two seasons. She wondered if it was filmed in the house or if they made a new set somewhere else.

    1. Some of it is filmed there, but some is filmed on a sound stage. Elena's house is at Southfork and it is filmed there. We toured that, but I didn't take photos. The rooms are in glass, so nothing can be touched.

  5. How super cool! Loved all the photos. It was like being there. You get an A++ as a tour guide for your blog audience. Thank you for taking us along.
