[QUOTE="Rove, post: 160945, member: 100"] Interesting you should bring that up. Patrick directed "[I]Hurt[/I]" for TNT Dallas in season 3. Many commented how this episode felt old school, that is the feel of Lorimar Dallas. Patrick of course directed many episodes back in the day. I'm not sure if Lorimar (if it was still around) could capture the original spirit of Dallas or not. It's a tough one to answer only because far too many outside influences (think executives) are involved with commercial television. To capture those 18-49 eyeballs they sometimes overstep the mark in sexing up shows which involves the following; [LIST=1] [*]Threesomes. [*]Quick edit scenes between characters with no dialogue but using Pop Songs to tell the story. [*]Changing character traits so we the viewer no longer recognize them. Think Cliff. [/LIST] If Dallas was placed in the hands of professionals like David Jacobs and David Paulsen then it may have half a chance. A series with fleshed out stories, prolonged conversations supported by stunning High Definition Photography of Southfork. [/QUOTE]
