Dallas 2.0: Discussion Thread

Yall complain too much! Be thankful he isn't ACTING on either show lol. Now THAT would be a true crime against humanity. I'll find a way to cope with him hosting as long as those casting directors don't get any ideas.

Sadly, I would rather see him than Jesse Metcalfe.

I'm not too fond of Jesse Metcalfe, but I think that is going too far lol. I'm just glad Billy Miller didn't get it, although he was MUCH better on Ringer than he is on Y&R.

Christopher was never hispanic looking.....for petes sake..his folks were Kristen Shepard.....The casting for Christopher is way off.....Metcalfe is just an awful model type actor..

I think JM was a bad choice as well. There are young guys are there who are much much stronger in acting as well as presence! I'm hoping Mr. Hagman can make me forget about him!

For the record, I was never a fan of the original or most 80's primetime soaps for that matter, certain eras of Knots being the only exception.

Did Linda Gray forget she owned a big fashion company?...lol. I think the year her character came out of her shell was the right time for the character. I wish they had brought in VP for at least a cameo.

Btw...Patrick Duffy will be on Live with Kelly tomorrow. I am sure he will be talking about the new Dallas.

Cameron Mathison will host a 15 minute post-show everyweek on the TNT website.

I just rolled my eyes so hard it hurt.

Ha...I know the feeling

What is Jenilee Harrison doing in this thread.

The new Dallas got two different tv guide covers.

It does say Ted Shakelford was asked back, but he turned them down,cause it was basically a blink and you miss him type thing.

They talked about Victoria Principal and they said they can't see her returning, she never was close with the cast, but did talk to Patrick the other day and asked about Larry's heatlh.

Is Brenda Strong also aware that Pam wasn't really dead?

I don't understand how saying you are going to show campy trash and not show any seedier part of life is being "grounded." I'd rather see skid row than sex tape blackmail. I don't want to see any of these melting Ken dolls in plastic writhing.

Larry Hagman says he'll go as long as he can and hopes to play JR until he's 94 and "interred"

JR is in all 10 episodes of the new story, there were minor script changes made to lighten Hagman's work load

Duffy said he's wanted to work with Linda and Larry again since 1991 but it's impossible without people seeing them as JR, Sue Ellen and Bobby

Is Brenda Strong also aware that Pam wasn't really dead?

I think of all the new actors, Brenda Strong is going to annoy me the most. Look Brenda, you're not Victoria Principal, you're not even Morgan Brittany. I cannot take you any more or less seriously than I do the other newbies. Your sing songy annoying narration of Desperate housewives only means you have a shorter rope to hang yourself with in my eyes, not longer. I never heard of you before DH and that is a stain on your record in my book, not a highlight.

Seriously? Ooookay

She already said she's not trying to replace VP or Pam in Bobby's life
