[QUOTE="stevew, post: 295886, member: 130"] I hear you but I would like a continuation. Just different people with different things they'd like to see like with any other story. There are those look at Gone with the Wind that feel that what MM gave us is all there is. Then there's those that wanted a movie. Then there's those that want more so we get a sequel and a mini series to that sequel. Then there were those that dislike that sequel and we got another sequel that ignored the 1st sequel. Even in the case of Dallas - there are people who saw Cat on A Hot Tin Roof and said, what a great play, Big Daddy and Big Momma, their oldest son and his powerful marriage, their youngest son a beautiful jock and his wife the cat. Great play. Movie wasn't bad. The play was better but that's my opinion. Then David Jacobs was creating a TV show and he had lots on inspirations but it is obvious that what he created was Cat on a Hot Tin Roof using another name and renaming the characters, giving them more of a background story (like the Giant inspired South Fork background story) and he let it run. If you really look at it, Dallas is in a very real way a reboot of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. People loved it, more people around the world than the Tennessee Williams original concept (which might turn out to be some sort of reboot of another concept of which I'm unaware). My grandmother who watched Dynasty religiously said she couldn't get into Dallas because it reminder her of a "cheap" (her word, NOT mine) Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. I can't explain her reaction. I certainly don't get it or agree with it. So maybe there will be a move forward which doesn't even use the same name - maybe they call it the House with the White Pillars and instead of Jock it'll be Big John and instead of Miss Ellie it'll be Big El. And instead of JR it'll be GP and they'll live on the Walker Ranch and run Kellogg Enterprises. And maybe they'll put back in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof's LGBTQ themes and maybe Big El will be Hispanic. And maybe no one will even think Dallas or maybe like Empire they'll say, kinda sounds like a Dallas story in a fight to replace dad within the company. What I do agree with it that there will be something new. Will they reference "Dallas?" I don't know. But referenced or not, someone will do something because the story is just way to classic, way too good, to just never be touched again. For me I hope for a continuation, but I agree it'll probably be a reboot - even if they don't call it such. Just my long winded 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
