Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kenny Coyote" data-source="post: 208394" data-attributes="member: 102">I don't know about that, since I haven't seen but one or two episodes of Blood and Oil and I don't remember it vividly enough to say one way or the other. I think if I had thought it was a blatant attempt to copy Dallas, I would remember that much. Of course, even TNT Dallas wasn't a blatant attempt to copy Dallas and that was supposed to be, since it was named Dallas! That's the main criticism of the show - that it wasn't enough like Dallas!Cidre didn't kn-w enough about Dallas to copy it at least to the extent she was supposed to, which is why she kept making mistakes with the history to it and even get things like the Oil Barons Ball correct; she called it the Cattle Barons Ball. I didn't mind that nearly as much though as how she failed to get the essence of the characters right - she failed to understand what made the original Dallas characters tick - even the ones she was using!</blockquote>
