Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pamela_E" data-source="post: 266467" data-attributes="member: 315">But they were trying to make a new show and a show that appealed to young and old alike.Jesse was hired to bring in his fanbase, so they kind of mixed it up. I had never heard of Josh Henderson.Perhaps that was where the show failed, it didn't appeal to the diminishing original fans and it wasn't gaining traction with a new audience. So attempting to appeal to both sets ended up in a mess.It wasn't until the end that they wanted to leverage the original fans. Hence the panic and endless interviews with fan sites. But a little too late.But let's face it, linear viewing was on the decline anyway and they really missed an opportunity to consider the global audience. As we know Dynasty has crap ratings on the CW but has managed to find a life globally on Netflix. In some ways the return was at the worse time, in some ways it might have benefited the show if it had happened years earlier or maybe years later, as there is now evidence that a global audience can keep a rebooted show on air via streaming platforms. I don't mind a reboot,  Dynasty on the CW has not damaged the original, it's a completely different take with a taste of the original.The original concept of Dallas is a story that never gets old.</blockquote>
