Michael Crisman writes, "Everything was bigger in the 80s. Cars were built like tanks, not like airplanes. Houses were built like mansions, not like shacks. And prime time soap operas were built like Dallas. If you drew breath in the United States during the shows thirteen-year run, you knew J.R. Ewing. Never watched the show? Didnt matter, the question Who shot J.R.? was on everyones lips in the summer of 1980. Thanks to CBSs shrewd marketing tactics, more people tuned in to find out the killers identity than turned out to vote in the 1980 presidential electionturns out people were just as politically ignorant thirty-four years ago as they are today. But what about the people who looked at the TV show and said, We need to make a game outta that!? Im already starting with a headache."
