I understand Bobby’s actions cause he did promise his momma that he would never allow drilling which I guess could ruin the land or something, I know nothing about drilling or ranching.
I usually remember the political stuff on shows, Bobby started out as a democrat running against Cliff Barnes in a democrat primary for State Senate (Bobby won but later resigned for some reason) early in Dallas’s run. Later on allusions were made to him being a Republican (and Ray’s wife Donna too even though she seemed like a liberal bitch). I guess they changed parties with the rest of Texas except for Perry who waited till 1989.
The season where Bobby was dead was Pam’s dream, that’s what they decided when Duffy came to back to the show. Too bad cause there were some interesting plot developments that season like Jock being alive (with plastic surgery played by a different actor), when the show started back the new Jock was changed to a con artist pretending to be Jock. And it was the only season where JR got full control of Ewing oil after Pam sold him dead Bobby’s shares.

Kristin Shepard fell in the Southfork pool and drowned in one the season finales, with the end scene being Cliff Banres (who the found the body, her death not actually being shown) accusing JR of killing her.
Oh, and Bobby’s new wife is a new character, in the last TV movie (in 1998) he was dating a younger woman. It’s wasn’t said in the premiere how long they’ve been married but it didn’t seem like long.
Oh yeah... I remember the famous "Bobby is Alive" scene as well! (Thanks for that lik) Yikes... that sure was a long time ago.
