[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 389765, member: 8"] That's a contradiction because the TNT sequel didn't duplicate the magic, it offered a new, raw and darker kind of magic. Of the four prime time soap hits DALLAS was the one with the most legacy value because John Ross and Christopher (if not in person then at least story-wise) had been an integral part of the classic series - much more than any of the other prime time soap kids. DYNASTY was the 80s soap with the strongest iconography which made it the perfect candidate for a remake as opposed to a sequel. The new adventures of LB Colby, Danny and Krystina Carrington would be a tough one to sell especially in this day and age when everything needs to be an instant hit. CWDYNASTY was probably never going to be as good as TNTDALLAS, but the initial premise showed enough promise to justify the remake. By remixing both the iconic characters and iconic storylines they could have their cake and eat it. Unfortunately it also wanted to be a new DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES and that proved one ingredient too many. Nevertheless, being the soap addict that I am, I would welcome a Dynasty [I]Sequel[/I] or Dallas [I]Remake[/I] regardless of the obvious obstacles. It's not like there's an awful lot to choose from so beggars can't be choosers. Furthermore, a DALLAS remake doesn't mean they'd have to remake it from the very beginning, they don't even have to remake the most "magical" part of the series. You only have to read the Dallas Forum to see that there actually [I]is[/I] a lot to be improved upon - so why not focus on those stories/seasons? It could start with the dream season and take it from there, it could start with Pam's crash or Haleyville and remix it into something really good. It's the same idea as remaking interesting movies that just happened to be badly made. [/QUOTE]
