[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 206865, member: 102"] I finally took a look at what got this whole conversation started and it's not much. Just a picture of the two kids fromTNT Dallas with he caption "The Ewings are fighting back." Against what? Cancellation? They gave that show very opportunity, they had plenty of advertising, they showed it on a channel most people get in a good time-slot and the ratings consistently went down from one season to the next. I say "season" but realistically what they had was a season and half work of episodes by the standards of the original. If Dallas had 15 episode seasons, it would have had 23 seasons! There also would have been another 12 episodes left over after that. If someone was serious about making a return to TV for Dallas, wouldn't you post a picture of two of the people who made the show the success it was? You'd have a picture of JR and Pam or JR and Bobby if you were going to post a picture of two faces that would bring back good memories from the public. I don't think Jesse Metcalfe and Josh Henderson are bad actors, but they're not even close to as talented as people like Larry Hagman,Barbara Bel Geddes or Ken Kercheval. Those are two separate leagues of acting and to cast for Dallas, you need to hire the best of the best. I don't expect anything to come of that post as far as another Dallas show being made, but if it does happen, I really hope they don't use anyone who was on TNT Dallas who wasn't also in the original. Just on principle I wouldn't want anything about a new show that would remind people of the show that failed. It's like another bad dream that Pam had. Dreams don't usually make sense, so in that light, sure, some Venezuelans tried to take over Southfork, Christopher married his cousin, Cliff killed their children and then somehow, the last season got worse.
