Members Chris B Posted August 8, 2013 Members Share Posted August 8, 2013 I can't wait for that DVD. It looks like the extras are very good. I just wish they'd release a Complete Series for the original. They released one internationally, but not in the US. I want it to help complete my collection.

Members Cheap21 Posted August 9, 2013 Members Share Posted August 9, 2013 I wonder why they have Rebecca on Chris' side and Elena on John Ross'. It should be switched. I also wish there was better symmetry as the women on JRs side should swap places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted August 10, 2013 Members Share Posted August 10, 2013 I'm pretty sure that picture is from season one, which is why Rebecca is next to Christopher. The strange thing is that they put a new picture of Sue Ellen in there, but the rest is from the original photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted September 9, 2013 Members Share Posted September 9, 2013 Cynthia Cidre says she's considering bringing PP back as Jenna. Ugh and she basically says Bobby and Ann are the new Jock and Miss Ellie :-/ http://www.tvguide.com/News/Kecks-Exclusives-Dallas-Priscilla-Presley-1070075.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 9, 2013 Members Share Posted September 9, 2013 Apparently she knew very little about Jock or Miss Ellie. Or that Barbara Bel Geddes had more personality than a stale Cheeto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted September 11, 2013 Members Share Posted September 11, 2013 Ugh....Cynthia Cidre knows nothing about Dallas history. I'd rather see Bobby with Jenna than dull as dirt Ann. I hope PP does reprise her role as Jenna. And for the love of God bring back Lucas Wade too!! Thats if CC knows who he is....ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chris B Posted October 16, 2013 Members Share Posted October 16, 2013 I'm no longer excited by this show. I still have so many season two episodes to watch. I'll be watching when it returns, I just hate that new Dallas is so boring and anti-soap almost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ellabelle Posted October 21, 2013 Members Share Posted October 21, 2013 How is it anti-soap? I think it's been wonderful, and far, far better than I could have hoped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted October 22, 2013 Members Share Posted October 22, 2013 The writer obviously doesn't understand how to write soaps. This is Dallas with none of the family connections it had before. All of the returns from the original series serve no purpose and are just there (with 1 minute scenes) to say, "Hey we brought them back!" The closest that came to being done right, was Gary's return, but it fizzled out. They started out well, then they had Val come for her one minute scene and just when the story was kicking off (with Valene vs Sue Ellen), you never saw them again. Other issues: - The writers don't understand how to write serialized storylines or cliffhangers. - The cast is mostly dull. Brenda Strong has potential, but has been given one of the most generic and dull characters ever. She can't come close to standing next to ANY love interest Bobby had on the original. Jordana Brewster is what sleeping pills are made of. Compared to the legacy that the original left, this new show is pretty bad. I watch it because I love Dallas, but this is worse than the worst season of the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ellabelle Posted October 22, 2013 Members Share Posted October 22, 2013 I agree that Jordana Brewster and Jesse Metcalfe are awful. I was hoping for recasts with both of those characters. I also admit that I watched Dallas as a child, so my memories of the show are likely nowhere as good as yours. That said, I didn't go into because I wanted to see Gary or Val. To me those are Knots Landing characters. Yes, I know they have the Dallas connection, but I don't consider them core characters the way I do Sue Ellen or Bobby. I wanted to see JR scheming and the unbelievable chemistry he always had with Sue Ellen, and I got that. I'm disappointed that they didn't find an actual use for Ray or Lucy though. To me those were characters worth seeing for more than just a few minutes. Ann started out weak and boring, but she's getting better. I understand the need to bring in new characters, and I think Harris Ryland is great from an entertainment standpoint, and his mother is deliciously evil. If there's a serious weak point to me, it's that in both seasons, I felt that the second to the last episode would have made for a better season finale than the actual finale. That's a weak point, but I don't think it's a dealbreaker. I'm hoping they adjust the pacing a bit in the third season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted October 23, 2013 Members Share Posted October 23, 2013 Only thing I've seen that interests me is that it was said Sue Ellen and Elena are driving stories this season. We'll see about that, but they'd be smart to use Linda Gray more than they have. Bitchy Elena could work if that's what they go with it. I'm disappointed they refuse to use Charlene as Lucy. And Ray deserved better than cameo appearances with throwaway lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted October 23, 2013 Members Share Posted October 23, 2013 Elena could work as a bitch, but overall the women are so lukewarm on this show. Miss Ellie has such fire and was so complex, then look at Ann....Look back at Katherine, Pamela, Sue Ellen, Kristen, Lucy, DONNA. These ladies had such spark and Dallas wasn't even a woman's show! This show is less soap and more like a boring family drama which isn't what Dallas should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
