Dallas Reunion: The Return to Southfork was a 90-minute retrospective special celebrating the long-running primetime television series Dallas (1978-1991) which aired on CBS on Sunday November 7, 2004.

The special reunited original cast members Larry Hagman, Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray, Steve Kanaly, Ken Kercheval, Victoria Principal, Charlene Tilton and Mary Crosby at Southfork Ranch in Parker, Texas to reminisce about their time together on the show, as well as special tributes to Jim Davis and Barbara Bel Geddes, who was too ill to take part in the reunion but sent a telegram of good wishes to her former castmates.

It also included outtakes, bloopers, behind-the-scenes practical jokes, home movies, fan questions, and the final results of an online poll at CBS.com where fans voted for their favorite top 10 Dallas cliffhangers:

1. "A House Divided (aka Who shot J.R.?)" - March 21, 1980
2. "Blast from the Past" - May 16, 1986
3. "Conundrum" - May 3, 1991
4. "End Game" - May 18, 1984
5. "The Fat Lady Singeth" - May 13, 1988
6. "Swan Song" - May 17, 1985
7. "Fall of the House of Ewing" - May 15, 1987
8. "Ewing Inferno" - May 6, 1983
9. "John Ewing III Pt. 2" - April 6, 1979
10. "Ewing-Gate" - May 1, 1981

This reunion marked the first time that Victoria Principal was involved in a Dallas project since she left the show in 1987. Howard Keel, who played Clayton Farlow on Dallas from 1981-1991, died at age 85 on the same day the reunion special aired.

Dallas Reunion: The Return to Southfork was re-broadcast by CBS on Saturday November 13, 2004 and was also included as a bonus feature on Dallas: The Complete Fourth Season DVD set released on January 24, 2006. It will also be re-released on DVD April 12, 2011 on Dallas: The Movie Collection 2-disc set.
