New Dallas series given go-ahead
 

Oh Dear :nope::

A full series update of classic 1980s US soap opera Dallas has been given the go ahead, it has been announced.
US network TNT said it had ordered 10 episodes of the programme, after it commissioned a pilot earlier this year.
Original stars Larry Hagman, Patrick Duffy and Linda Gray reprise their roles in the new show, which will focus on the Ewing family offspring.
The series is due to air in the US next summer. It is not yet known if it will be shown in the UK.
"TNT has explored the possibility of an updated version of Dallas for several years, but it wasn't until we read Cynthia Cidre's outstanding pilot script that we knew we had the foundation for a great new series," said TNT's Michael Wright.
"It is incredibly exciting to see both new and familiar characters in the hands of a dream cast. We couldn't be more pleased with how Dallas has come together."

Star of 90210 Josh Henderson, who appeared as a child in the original series, will play John Ross, son of JR Ewing, while Desperate Housewives star Jesse Metcalfe will play Christopher, son of Bobby Ewing.
Fellow Housewives star Brenda Strong will also appear as Bobby's latest wife, with The Fast and The Furious star Jordana Brewster starring as a character involved in a love triangle with the Ewing cousins.
TNT will preview the new series on its network on Monday night.
The original Dallas ran from 1978 to 1991 on US network CBS and was also broadcast to huge UK audiences on the BBC.

God help us. This series was very popular in my country and I have a bad feeling that it will be popular again. :nope::nope::nope::nope::nope::nope::nope::nope:

My wife has the pleasure of watching soaps. NOT ME. :stare:

mmm, this only confirms my deep rooted fear, Darwin was wrong.

Here's the cast line-up (supposedly):

:nope:

Won't watch this one, just like I didn't watch the first one.

:yawn:

Really, are video games sucking up all of the writing talent in Hollywood these days?

The dearth of new ideas is staggering.

As a Houstoninan, I am obliged to hate everything Dallas related. So I hate this. :shucks:

In the immortal words of Chick McGee.... "MMMMM-MAN I don't care." :O:

Corrected that for you. :salute:

At some point, sometime in the very near future, the bottom of the barrel is just going to fall out; you can only scrape something so many times before there's nothing left to scrape.

Beyond that, darkness.

Since I don't watch television anymore (at least not directly) I don't have to worry about it.

Why don't they do shows about Houston?

I doubt that the Bride of Dallas will be as popular as the original. Much has changed with TV and night time soap operas are more common.

After further review, the call on the field stands.

My mom loved the original show; my sister and I always knew that when Dallas was on, our TV privileges were gone.

With a reboot apparently pending, I think it safe to say that Mom checked out at the right time.
