This began a streak of 208 consecutive episodes of Dallas (1978) in which Ken Kercheval (Cliff Barnes) appears which ended with The Serpent's Tooth (1989). The next episode in which he does not appear is the series' 300th episode Three Hundred (1989). The only actors to appear in more consecutive episodes are Larry Hagman (J.R. Ewing) at all 357, Linda Gray (Sue Ellen Ewing) at 307 and Victoria Principal (Pamela Barnes Ewing) at 210.
Cliff Barnes, played by Ken Kercheval, drinks his victory celebration from the glass in which J.R. poured the drink Cliff bought him. J.R. refused to accept a drink from his archnemesis, who only wanted to gloat about striking oil in the former Ewing 6 well (rechristened Barnes-Wentworth 1).
The sole series episode directed by actor Victor French, who at the time was still appearing as Isaiah Edwards on Little House on the Prairie (1974).
Loved in Laredo, despised in Dallas. Former Laredo (1965) star Peter Brown makes his sole series appearance playing Tom Flintoff, the lust-crazed Lothario Sue Ellen had the misfortune of meeting at a society party.
