well, to answer my own question (cause I hate to see it go unanswered):
Dallas spun Knot's Landing and some soap that took place in Denver (I think) and was about the Carringtons? but I don't remember the name---just one dreadful scene of Linda Evans and another HORRIBLE actress catfighting 'til they ended up in a pool (I never saw the series--just some outtakes and promo stuff)

...honest.
