[QUOTE="Rove, post: 327668, member: 100"] While I do agree with the sentiment I wish more people would acknowledge the influence [I]Dallas [/I]had on the small screen which is still felt today. Up until the "Who Shot J.R.?" final episode did anyone hear or know what a cliffhanger was? Series today still use this tactic. Without Dallas there was no Dynasty, Falcon Crest or Knots Landing. All those actors should acknowledge one actor in particular for their careers, I'm talking about Larry Hagman. His portrayal of J.R. Ewing in those early seasons spawned the likes of Alexis Carrington, Angela Channing and Abby Fairgate. I do agree the prospect of seeing any form of Dallas back on the small screen is remote but I wish to God someone out there would realize its potential as an ongoing project even if produced as a limited series. But I want to see a series targeted towards adults, not teens. They have the Kardashounds, let's us have the Ewing's. I'm am curious though what will occur if and when Warner Bros release Dallas on a streaming service or as a boxset and see if it finds a new market. [/QUOTE]
