[QUOTE="Michael Torrance, post: 141832, member: 719"] I wasn't a [I]fan[/I] of the original. I saw it and enjoyed it up until Bobby's dream, but I wasn't a fan the way I am a fan of DYNASTY. And because of some actors I really liked, and how great Linda Grey was, I was very excited with the TNT version when it started. But even as a non-fan, I had a viewer's perspective that Cliff would never have been so Blofeld that he would order a bomb to go off where his pregnant daughter was. I also knew there had been no hispanic family with Elena and her brother living with the Ewings. So, both the disregard of the past bothered me, and the distortion of the present into a drug cartel show, because that was not what the original Dallas was about. But as has already mentioned, Cidre's "respect" for the history can be seen in her emblematic move to want to present it as her [I]own [/I]creation, so that the union had to step in. [/QUOTE]
