Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rove" data-source="post: 170860" data-attributes="member: 100">I wonder if incorporating the Mexican angle hurt TNT Dallas internationally. When I compare Lorimar Dallas to TNT Dallas I feel Lorimar Dallas had an international feel as opposed to TNT Dallas which appeared to be a series focused on local stories. On paper Lorimar Dallas should not have become the international hit it did since it told the story of a rich Texas family squabbling over money. The writers however were clever in telling stories Mr & Mrs Average could relate to.TNT Dallas felt more like a local story only viewers in America and Mexico could care about. Most times when watching TNT Dallas I felt like an outsider looking in rather than feeling I was part of the characters journey. Most times I was just watching TNT Dallas, not enjoying it.A great series will allow viewers to become part of the journey, not alienate them to the point of switching off after 1 episode, as in the case of what happened with TNT Dallas when first screened in the U.S.A.</blockquote>
