“Dallas: The Complete Thirteenth Season” From Warner Home Video

(January 4, 2010 – Burbank, CA ) – The latest installment of the hot Texas drama, “Dallas: The Complete Thirteenth Season,” arrives on DVD April 13, 2010 from Warner Home Video. With Ewing Oil on the verge of collapse, J.R. Ewing is busy as usual devising underhanded plans to bring down his enemies. “Dallas: The Complete Thirteenth Season” comes in a three disc DVD collector’s set featuring all 27 episodes and is priced to own at $39.98 SRP. Order due date is March 9, 2010. This season, Cathy Podewell (“Earth Angel”), Sheree J. Wilson (“Walker, Texas Ranger”) and Kimberly Foster (“All My Children”) join the Emmy® nominated series which stars Larry Hagman (“I Dream of Jeannie”), Barbara Bel Geddes (“Vertigo”) and Patrick Duffy (“The Bold and the Beautiful”) along with Howard Keel (“Seven Brides for Seven Brothers”), Ken Kercheval (“Diagnosis Murder”), Charlene Tilton (“The Love Boat”) and George Kennedy (“Cool Hand Luke”). For J.R. Ewing, Season 13 is as unlucky as a steer at a Texas barbecue. He starts by lying and cheating Ewing Oil to the brink of destruction and ends by kicking and screaming in a psychiatric hospital. In between, he tires of his pretty young wife, seethes while Cliff Barnes’ political star rises and bumps into a past he didn’t know he had. Meanwhile, Clayton and Miss Ellie investigate a multiple-murder mystery, folks from seasons past unexpectedly return to stir up trouble and Bobby stays busy removing J.R.’s knives from his back, chasing after a Pam look-alike, and bringing a new Mrs. Ewing to Southfork. Y’all come ’round and meet the happy couple! “One of the longest running primetime series in the history of television, ‘Dallas’ has become an American classic and a true fan favorite,” said Rosemary Markson, WHV Vice President, TV & Special Interest Marketing. “Consumers continue to anticipate the release of each season on DVD.” “Dallas,” the highly popular prime time television soap opera, ran from 1978 to 1991. It revolved around businessman J.R. Ewing and his wealthy Texas family in the oil and cattle-ranching industries. The show originally debuted in April 1978 as a five-part miniseries on the CBS network. However, its immense popularity would allow “Dallas” to return for an additional 13 seasons. People the world over are still watching “Dallas” on cable as the series continues to find a whole new generation of viewers. Over its 14 seasons, “Dallas” garnered 17 Emmy® nominations and four wins, 14 Golden Globe® nominations and one win, and was the #1 or #2 rated network series for five consecutive seasons.
