Dallas 2.0: Discussion Thread

I too thought Elena was plain as hell and could care less if they fight over her.

The first outing drew 6.86 million viewers, making it the most-watched cable series premiere of the year so far, following in the footsteps of the network's recent summer debuts for Falling Skies in 2011 and Rizzoli & Isles in 2010.

Dallas made TNT the top-scoring basic cable network of the night, with the two-hour premiere even besting broadcast networks between 9 and 11 p.m. The two-hour premiere also drew 1.926 million adults 18-49 and 2.482 in TNT's favorable adults 25-54 demo.

The haul outpaces TNT's current summer heavyweight, Rizzoli & Isles, by more than 1 million viewers.

Let's see if they can keep any momentum, or if this will fall and crash fast in coming weeks.

Yeah, while a solid start, I can't help but think TNT is disappointed with those numbers given the hype, promotion and the "Dallas" name.

Not. Great considering all the promotion. Guess we'll see if they hold up.

Really good start, but I expected higher out of the gate.

She has no presence or sex appeal

Dallas is a long ago show and mostly known for nostalgia purposes, so I think they must have (I hope) not expected too much. This isn't as good as it should have been with the promo, but is OK. I do think the 1.5 demo will hurt the show most of all, but I blame that on such bad casting for the younger roles. I don't believe anyone would tune into the show to see these rejects.

TNT's core demographic is 25-54, not 18-49.

I thought they probably wanted 18-49 from this, with so much emphasis on younger actors. I wonder what the 25-54 was.

It is fitting that with the mixed feelings that I have for this new Dallas the reactions I have for the ratings are also mixed. I can't tell if the ratings are great, average or horrible lol.

OMG, whimsical music.... Noooooo! Dear God, WHY? Enough with the "funny" [!@#$%^&*]!

Don't most new shows lose viewers in the second and third weeks? I'm just saying.

The original Dallas had whimsical music for whimsical scenes, too.
