The tenth season of the television series Dallas aired on CBS during the 1986–87 TV season.
In alphabetical order:
Longtime major guest star William Smithers (Jeremy Wendell) continues to appear, and Derek McGrath (Oswald Valentine) and Jonathan Goldsmith (Bruce Harvey) both join the cast.
Additionally, Hunter von Leer (B.D. Calhoun), J.A. Preston (Leo Daltry), Jim McMullan (Andrew Dowling), Josef Rainer (Mr. Barton), Karen Carlson (Nancy Scotfield) and Frederick Coffin (Alfred Simpson) all join the series for major story arcs, although they won't return for later seasons.
For the second year in a row, Dallas creative team goes through major changes for season 10. Only associate producer Cliff Fenneman survives the transition from season 9 to season 10. Former writer/story editor David Paulsen replaces James H. Brown as producer and newcomer Calvin Clements, Jr. is appointed supervising producer. Former producer (to the end of season 8) Leonard Katzman returns as showrunner, but now promoted to executive producer, replacing veteran Philip Capice. Katzman's son Mitchell Wayne Katzman joins the team as the new story editor. Leah Markus, who wrote for season 4, joins as story consultant.
Writers for the season include Leonard Katzman, David Paulsen, Leah Markus, Mitchell Wayne Katzman, Calvin Clements, Jr., and Louella Lee Caraway. Series star Susan Howard also writes one more episode before leaving the series, both as a writer and as an actress, at the end of the season.
Season ten of Dallas was released by Warner Bros. Home Video, on a Region 1 DVD box set of three double-sided DVDs, on January 13, 2009. Unlike the previous Dallas DVD box sets (but like the subsequent) it does not include any extras, besides the 29 episodes.[1]
