As Dallas was the No.1 rating show for a few years I suspect it also attracted (behind the scenes) some inflated egos. We've all heard the stories of the conflict between Phil Capice and Leonard Katzman with some assistance from Larry Hagman. I can only guess all involved had their own thoughts in what direction Dallas should be steered with little thought to us the viewers. This was also a time when fans generally communicated only with the actors via fan clubs to voice their opinions on their characters. Today writers/producers/show-runners can have immediate interaction with fans via social media as episodes go to air which gives them instant feedback on how their ideas/stories are playing out, and if there working.Dallas TNT (for those working in the industry) is a good lesson on how to not mess with such an iconic show as Dallas. First of all, if your going to produce a continuation, watch the original in its entirety. Get a good feel on what made it tick. Because as history has shown, get it wrong and the viewers (fans) will desert you. In this case Dallas TNT only received a three season pass.</blockquote>
