Dallas 2.0: Discussion Thread

I am willing to give them a shot. People forget that before Dallas all Patrick Duffy was was the Man from Atlantis, a role that basically called for a speedo ready body and webbed toes. You never know who will turn out to be ok.

Oh no, you didn't!!

What horrible lines, "Time portal, ACTIVATE!" And Douglas Cramer should have hung his head in SHAME for licensing footage from Space:1999 for a Wonder Woman episode, when the show had only been off the air for mere months. Ted sure looked purty in his silver condom, though

After rewatching the promo, I'm actually optimistic that this reboot has at least enough energry tod eliver a solid first season. Usually those reboots just work for the first episode and then fall into pieces, but this could get interesting.

It looks so much worse than i thought it would be.

I cant wait.

Except 90210. for some reason that has stumped me, it just finished it's 3rd season and going onto the 4th. I was an avid fan of the original and i have them all on DVD now but i just could not get into the new show. Maybe because i saw that girl who plays Naomi pretty much naked on Nip Tuc. Thinking she was a high school sophmore (when it started) was just too unreal for me. (and yet I bought Andrea Zuckermen, no problem. LOL)but i'm actually willing to give it a second try next year when the kids hit college. At least it will be a little more easier to take.

If they do Dallas right, it could really work. Perhaps one of the only shows in history to have two long running shows of the same thing. They need to focuss on John Ross and Christopher mostly. They can't rely too heavely on the older ones like JR and the rest. It will be nice to see them, hopefully for a long while but if the acting isn't right for Jon ross or Chris, it will fail.

I would assume that the main focus of this new version will be on John Ross, Christopher, and the rest of the younger cast since they are the new generation of Ewings. They are the ones who are ultimately going to have to carry this show. The original characters are just there to help facilitate the process so to speak.

Of course it will be about the younger kids, the older actor will be lucky to get on season 2 if its picked up. We have seen this with the new Melrose place, one tree hill, 90210, etc. They only want the older actors on the show for the validity.

I knew Pam. She was a friend of mine. Ann, you are no Pam!

CLIFF BARNES Returns! http://www.tvguide.com/News/Cliff-Barnes-Dallas-1037312.aspx

This is exciting news! I wonder if they'll reshoot things and go back to the original plan of having Rebecca be Cliff's daughter Pamela Rebecca. That would make the most sense. I do like that he'll be appearing for multiple episodes, INCLUDING the season finale, which suggests he'll play an important supporting role. This is shaping up to be interesting. I can't wait for shooting to begin so we can get a better sense of things. So nice to know Cliff will have his hands involved in another season finale.

Very VERY relieved they are including Ken and Cliff Barnes. It was a big upset to me that they seemed to be ignoring that aspect.

He was maybe the best one on Dallas. Really a great actor the way he played such a buffoon filled with every bad trait a person could ask for. Cliff was a downside of the human condition in one entertaining package.

I would like to see Victoria Principal back as Pam. She could've thought she was dying and made a new life in order to spare Bobby, Cliff and Christopher from any more heartache and pain. Or perhaps Katherine Wentworth had a hand in her disappearance from the hospital and kept Pam away all these years and told her Bobby had died or moved on with his life. Could you see Pam walking up on Southfork and saying "hello Bobby." We would have another triangle with Ann/Bobby/Pam like we did with Jenna/Bobby/Pam.

Having Cliff and Ken on the show is great news!! Now let's get VP signed!

I agree with Ken and now lets get VP signed.

I have a feeling the older characters are going to end up carrying this remake.
