Members KMan101 Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 And YES. If I HAD to nitpick ... the Cattle Baron's Ball was glossed over. It should be a big event. An entire episode. Not a brief thing just to force everyone to interact and give Linda Gray her one big scene in the episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 I'm just glad we get one season of it on tv. Everyone is assuming it will be back next year...but nothing set in stone. I cant wait for it to be released on dvd cause you know it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 And I want to add that if 90210 and Melrose had been rebooted on Fox, it probably would have been handled much better. The CW never deserved to try and relaunch those shows. At least TNT respects Dallas. It really REALLY shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KMan101 Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 I'm pretty sure it will be. It's probably going to skew a little older, though, which is troubling. But I think TNT will renew it. I don't see this as a failed reboot in the slightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 I dont think the show could have struck lightning twice with the casting......Principal and Co. were brilliant and a hard act to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 Same. Unfortunately, I don't think recasting Christopher is an option. If Jesse Metcalfe goes, that means Christopher goes with him. Unless they pull a Jack Coleman. Which is possible...if not altogether advisable.

Members DRW50 Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 Better respect would be casting charismatic or talented actors (IMO - I know that's not a majority opinion) in key roles. Didn't TNT also push to erase Cliff and Pam and Afton from the show's history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 I never saw Melrose but I heard the horror stories. I did catch 90210 but it wasnt the show anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 They couldn't have found the same level but it's not hard to find better talent than Brenda Strong and Jesse Metcalfe. Just go out on the street corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 We could cast Donna Reed as new Christopher....u know to haunt Larry Haggman....lol Oh of course they could have done better in casting...I still hope they make some casting changes in season 2 if the show is picked up.

Members wingwalker Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 Even someone like me, who hasn't watched the original and among that new "younger viewer" the network is going after, I have to say, I felt that Larry Hagman & Patrick Duffy carried the show. I don't think at this point, Josh Henderson & Jesse Metcalfe can carry the show without them. It was Bobby and JR that hooked me more so than Chris and John Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 Anyone watch the aftershow on TNT website??? I am curious what the writer and the cast had to say about the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 I don't know why whoever's in charge at the moment insists on marrying off Bobby Ewing. Does Patrick Duffy's ego need stroking that badly? Bobby and Pamela's relationship was magical because of the chemistry between him and Victoria Principal. Whenever they tried pairing Bobby with other women, however, it was clear that it just didn't work. Duffy, likable though he might be, is very wooden as an actor, and even worse as a romantic partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 I want these.....lol Yes, I agree Khan....Duffy hasnt had any chemistry with other ladies except Principal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
