Scenes from a Marriage
Prior to the premiere of "Dallas", Jacobs originated the idea for a drama series about four married couples in different stages of marriage, inspired by [[Ingmar Bergman]]'s "[[Scenes from a Marriage]]". However, CBS wanted a "saga-like" show, resulting in Jacobs creating "Dallas". When the series proved to be a hit, CBS reconsidered Jacobs's original idea, which evolved into "Dallas" [[spin-off (media)|spin-off]] series "[[Knots Landing]]", premiering in late 1979.
