Dallas: Who Reshot J. R.?

Even Melrose and 90210 were dumbed down and those shows aren't that hard to get. Dallas (or Knots or even good season 1-2, 9 Dynasty) are too complicated for current tv. Nobody wants to wait for story arcs to play out or to develop characters. It would be a watered down poorly written show I'm sure people would say is decent. Like they're saying about that unwatchable Melrose remake.

In a way, I totally agree (except for the "good season 1-2, 9 Dynasty" part...I'm almost done with S3 and it is FAB and by far my favorite so far, and I'm looking forward to the typical Dynasty BSC-ness of S4 and S5). The basic cable element is a little iffy for me...what I'm basically seeing is Mad Men set in the present day, in the oil industry, in Texas, and that is so far from what Dallas was. That's precisely my issue with 90210.2 and nuMP. I don't want/need exact carbon copies of the originals...but if you're going to be using these titles, characters, and settings, you have to have the spirit of the original, the tone, and the overall feel, and 90210.2/nuMP do not.

OMG this could work if done right. Have jr and sue ellen play the roles as Ms. Ellie and Jock(I know thats a stretch.lol) and then have christopher and john ross be the new bobby/jr. John ross can marry cliff's daughter and move into the southfork. I think if they hire good actors/actresses this could be a good show.

    • The most we ever saw was on the "Roger years" tape.

    • Right. Literally for decades, soaps mesmerized their audiences with tales of romance, family conflict, class struggles, and recognizable interpersonal-relationship sagas. We didn't need relentless, heavy violence. We didn't need clones, mad scientists, extra-terrestrials and demon possessions. We didn't need gaggles of plastic himbos and bimbos pushing beloved vets off-screen. We only needed to see people whom we cared about, and the intelligent, moving progression of their lives. Flashy sets, gaudy gimmicks, and high-falutin' hairdos be damned. The characters and the words were important.
    • Absolutely! Brad should've simply moved on from Lunacy. There's no point of freeing her, if you're not going to at least make an attempt at redemption or incorporating her into the fold. It happened with Quinn, who committed quite a few felonies before become the Forrester Matriarch.  Heck, keep Lunacy in prison and have Poppy/Finn discover that she gave birth to twins - 'Sunny' could've come on with a clean slate and still had Sheila/Finn and all the other drama. It certainly couldn't have been worse than what we've witnessed with the destruction of $B.    
    • I would enjoy it if Swan popped up on BTG as an old one time friend/mentor of Anita’s for a cameo. This is just

    • I had totally forgotten that Courtney story. I see Burton was already phoning it in by that point.
    • omg I completely missed that, but now when I see it typed here in your post, it's obvious icky cringe. So now I just checked and Tomas said that -- on May 27 that he likes the author Carl Ivati.  He said it with sort of an accent, so I didn't catch the stupid joke or think about the spelling.   I remember when that aired, that I actually said to myself at the time, "I wonder if that's a Latin American author, and I will have to google him later." And now I see your post, and I see. Well that's cringe, and I feel stupid to have fallen for it.

    • There's a lot you don't need if you have the writing.  You don't even need large casts!  You could make do with a cast of 12-18 actors if the writing is there.
    • Thank you. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping around if your spouse actually knows about it. She’s just a cheating slut.
    • OMG...Robert Mandan! And Donna Mills is a child. I keep hoping for more of early Ross/Vanessa.
