So, is anybody excited that they're bringing back "Dallas"?

[sinkingfeeling]

Wonder why Pam isn't in the new series. It begins June 13 on TNT.

1. From the promos... are they going to be interacting with a cardboard cutout of Larry Hagman?

[HopeHoops]

6. Only if they have one of Barbara Eden too.

[LynneSin]

2. At first I thought it was another cheesy attempt to redo a 70s classic

But I love that they brought back JR & Bobby. I think Cliff is back too. Not sure why Pam isn't returning unless it was because Victoria Principal wasn't available. But that doesn't mean she may not return in a later episode.

I had read that they were going to make a "Dallas" movie with John Travolta playing JR. I'm glad that is not happening because Larry Hagman is JR - no one else should ever play him. It's hard to imagine that Larry Hagman is a major liberal in RL although he plays the ideal right-wing nutjob on "Dallas"

3. Victoria Principal is still hawking her cosmetic line, I think...

She quit well before the end of the first run of Dallas, so I imagine there may have been some "bad blood"...

4. The first one was just a dream... nt

5. More curious than excited.

I have it scheduled on my DVR just to check it out and see if it's any good.

[RebelOne]

7. Nope. Never watched the original series. n/t

[OriginalGeek]

8. Set up on DVR too

I grew up in Dallas and I love watching shows from there and seeing places I've been.

I once even ended up in front of Southfork ranch - I got lost on a delivery and next thing I knew, I was looking up at the famous gate.

I've only been back twice in almost 30 years though so I might not even recognize places I know...

9. Jerry Jones has been saying that for years. Cowpies still suck.

[El Supremo]

12. + 1000!

I've got to show this to madinmaryland.

[madinmaryland]

15. You changed your underpants again today?? BTW, it's a two-fer...

[femmocrat]

10. Interested, not "excited".

I saw a reunion show (was there more than one?) and didn't think it was very good. The focus on the younger generation might be interesting. Not sure about Bobby's new wife... it's wait and see on that one.

I'm in the mood for a good soap since they cancelled All My Children.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

11. Actually, it is very possible Pam is dead.

Didn't she have a fatal illness and left the show so she wouldn't die in front of Bobby and her son?

[kwassa]

13. The dead come back to life in soap operas.

[Jack Rabbit]

14. What you don't know is that the Koch Bros have bought the network

. . . and they insist that J. R. be made into a hero.

Of course, those two assholes have such a warped idea of man's place in the universe that they probably thought J. R. was a hero anyway.

[madinmaryland]

19. BTW, the Koch brothers support...

the Designated Hitter Rule.

[El Supremo]

21. JR was the hero.

Shows how much you left coasters understand Dallas. Bobby was the evil one.

And I'm sure JR was in favor of the Designated Wacker, er... Hitter.

[ManyShadesOf]

16. No because

fuckin Dallas never went away. Poppy Dubya yer livin the soap opera, RIGHT NOW

[revolution breeze]

17. No

nor was I happy the brought back Charlies Angels or Dukes of Hazzard or...........

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. This guy sure is...

[OrwellwasRight]

20. I am.

I love soaps. Knots Landing, Dallas, Melrose Place. Good, terrible stuff.
