The eighth season of the television series Dallas aired on CBS during the 1984–85 TV season.
In alphabetical order:
In addition to several guest actors continuing to appear on the show, Burke Byrnes (Pete Adams) is added to the cast, and William Smithers (Jeremy Wendell) returns after a two-year absence. Sarah Cunningham also returns after four years, as Cliff and Pam's aunt, Maggie Monohan. Additionally Fredric Lehne (Eddie Cronin) and Kathleen York (Betty) appear in a major story-arc, although neither of them will return for subsequent seasons.
Showrunner Leonard Katzman, Arthur Bernard Lewis and David Paulsen remain the core writers, although Peter Dunne, in preparation for taking over showrunning duties during the following season, writes two episodes in place of Leonard Katzman.
For the fourth consecutive year, the production team remains the same: Philip Capice serves as executive producer, Katzman as producer, Cliff Fenneman as associate producer, and writer Arthur Bernard Lewis as supervising producer. After two years as story editor, writer David Paulsen is now billed executive story editor.
The eight season of Dallas was released by Warner Bros. Home Video, on a Region 1 DVD box set of five double-sided DVDs, on February 12, 2008. In addition to the 30 episodes, it also includes the featurette "Dallas Makeover: Travilla Style".[1]
