Dallas was the one that took place in Texas, since it started a few years earlier that's probably why people think of it first when confronted with the idea of late night soaps. Especially with the sharks they jumped in later seasons.

It cracks me up because obviously “Dallas” is right there in the name for that one. Yes, absolutely Dynasty was ABC’s answer to Dallas (on CBS) and they are SO similar. I’ve had a handful of people who are totally convinced Dynasty took place in Texas and get angry and refuse to believe it when the internet says otherwise (or I point out Denver’s downtown is in the opening credits). Mandela effect I guess…
