They were saving it for Cidre, who used it twice.

Joke about it all they like but there is potentially a new generation wishing to revisit a series past like Dallas. Sure there are numerous spoiler sites out there on the world wide web but just imagine discovering Dallas for the first time and salivating at the creator of cliff-hangers.

My re-watch begins in January 2022. I think it will be around the 7th or 8th time after initial broadcast. Dallas is ALWAYS relevant.
I think it was cool they referenced Dallas that way and who knows there might be some Taylor Swift fans who are actually discovering classic TV-series. 
I know at the Dallas 40th Reunion I talked to a journalist who was about 10 years younger than I was who was watching Dallas for the first time and really enjoying it.

That genuinely just spoilt M*A*S*H for me so I'm with Wally.

Well who knows where this may lead. With recent news Warner Bros are finally revisiting Dallas and spending dollars on enhancing the original film, releasing it on a streaming service or DVD/Blu-Ray, we might just see renewed interest in the best series ever. Just quietly I think Larry Hagman would have a huge smile on his face.
The magnificent bastard is going to live on forever!

This was me when I watched first time around maybe 7-8 years ago. I knew the "Bobby was in the shower, it was all a dream" thing and had heard about "Who Shot JR?" through casual references but never watched the show so everything was new to me.
I wrote in a 2016 post:
Even without reading any of the criticism here or anywhere else online, I definitely had a lot of similar issues with the 2012 show as well as aspects of the final few seasons of the original. Unpopularly though, I wasn't that upset when Pam left, because her final season was a huge character letdown; equally unpopularly, I really enjoyed Sue Ellen's final season

I think a full reboot of the show is highly likely to happen within the next five years.
I don't think a continuation series is possible now since most of the cast are very sadly dead.
So watch this space, Dallas may be dead but it's far from being all over.

I'm in two minds about a reboot. When Dallas is finally released on a streaming service....and if sales of a remastered boxset is successful this might signal to Warner Bros to revisit a continuation. Of course this would depend on how that continuation is handled...nothing like that TNT version would be a great start.
But let's stick with your argument a Dallas reboot was given the green light. It's my opinion a reboot would need to go down the rabbit hole of darkness. I'd like to see a revised JR being ruthless in business, a win at any cost no matter the ramifications to family or friends. I would not like to see some wallflower version of JR sprinkled with todays woke mentality.

You are so right Rove buddy. JR needs to a conniving son of a bitch as ruthless as he was in the early years of the Lorimar series.
Anything else just wouldn't work. For Dallas to work it needs to take the core context of the original series extrapolated for the 2020's. By that we both agree on a ruthless JR Ewing and to a lesser extent a ruthless Jock Ewing. There should be a more intense Barnes Ewing feud too.
