I find it hard to believe that the reunion special would be released on DVD by itself.

I agree, Haden -- and was thinking exactly the same thing when I saw that post (above). It'd make the ideal "Bonus" supplement, IMO. A good Special, too, if you ask me. Larry Hagman's the man! I loved the way he was making fun of some aspects of the show -- like the idea of all those "grown-up boys livin' in the same house; with just the one bedroom each; and just that one phone in the hallway!"
(Although, I DO believe there was a phone in each bedroom if I'm not mistaken. But his remark was still funny. Each man is a multi-millionaire on his own -- and they are confined to one bedroom each @ Southfork.)
Come to think of it -- we never really see the WHOLE house as I recall. Only the kitchen, the parlor (aka:
"The Official Everybody Go Here To Get Soused On Bourbon-&-Branch While Pickin' At Each Other Before
Dinner" Room
), the Dining Room, and the study/den (which is tiny).
And the kitchen in S.1/S.2, you shall note, is really shabby-looking (considering it's a multi-million-dollar ranch house). Looks like the Evans' type kitchen in "Good Times". Crappy kitchen until Season 3 or 4 I guess.
But where's the Game Room? The billiard table? The "Great Room"? Or even a main/bigger "Living" Room? Or other large "do-nothing" rooms in a house that looks that big from the outside?
Where, I ask, where???
"Are you gonna punch me out, Bobby?"
"No, J.R."
"Good ... Because it's dinner time, and I don't think mama would take kindly to my comin' to the dinner table with a split lip."
