Dallas 2.0: Discussion Thread

I read it's only for 15 episodes

Congratulations to fans. This is a boost of confidence from the network

My bad, for some reason I thought it aired on Fridays. I only get to catch up on the weekends anyway

The original series aired on Fridays while Dynasty aired on Wednesdays.

Well, that was an incredibly cheap Barbecue. Just horrid. What, they had three guests? It'll probably continue on the next episode but I don't think it will change much.

I'm actually shocked that I enjoyed and somewhat sympathized with Rebecca this time around. Of course, they're going to make Tommy a complete villain in order to make her look better, and that's somewhat sad. The actor has charisma but he's probably not going to last long.

Those Ray/Lucy cameos are kind of sad. It's nice to see them but is that all they can do for them?

Loved the ending.

The actor who plays Tommy would have been perfect as John Ross or even Christopher

This is great news about season 15 This season was only a 10 episode season so a 15 episode season 2 is awesome!! Most cable shows I believe get a 15 episode run.

He would have been perfect as Christopher. He looks like Christopher. Its a shame he didnt get that part.

Most of TNT's original series have 15-episode seasons (or somewhere between 10 and 20).

15 episodes is almost 4 months....I think its better than the 30 episode run it use to get. It will get stories moving and not staggering.....but I have to say up tll the 87 season of Dallas the 30 episode count didnt disappoint...but after that they should have shrunk it to a 20 episode season of Dallas.

The ending with Sue Ellen is hilarious! I think that was the last interesting episode. From there nothing was left of the show.....the Tommy McCay stuff was just jump the shark material

I thought this was funny...the you arent dreaming part

I'm baffled by the Henderson love when he's clearly miscast.

Same. To me, the newer actors just don't cut the proverbial mustard. Even the worst of THE COLBYS's cast held my interest more.

Meanwhile, the renewal doesn't surprise me. I just wish someone at TNT would fire Cynthia Cidre and bring in a new showrunner who is more equipped at writing soap opera.

Henderson is lucky because Metcalfe will always be worse.

Their faces just take you out of any scene. It's like watching someone play with dolls.

The who is who of Dallas...

Wow. Bobby Ewing could have taken TWO showers in the time those credits rolled.

The who is who of Dallas...

Look at this group it is so easy to spot who is real Dallas and who is fake Dallas. Dusty Farlowe was real Dallas: he wore a hat, was in the rodeo and had a bit of an accent. Ray was real Dallas, Donna was real Dallas. Hats, accents, jeans, Dallas. That dutch woman supposedly the great love of JR's life, that is not real Dallas.
