TV Series Dallas ran from 1978 until 1991, and showed a slightly Hollywood sanitized version of the western. The “Corporate cowboys” of the show drove Mercedes Benz couples and were seen in glass and steel skyscrapers. Still, the show was wildly popular, making J.R. Ewing the most popular cowboy in America for over a decade.
