Dallas

[Kraven]

The new Dallas series/continuation premiers on TNT (Bravo in Canada) on Wednesday. Anyone watching?

I remember growing up Dallas was THE show to watch right after Dukes of Hazzard on CBS.

Cheers, K

PS- J.R is still the man!

Doubt it. It outlived its' welcome the first time.

Definitely be watching. I started watching Dallas back in 1978 when it was a mini-series on CBS. Towards the end of the show I lost track after the year that was a dream, with Bobby ending up in the shower, after being killed the year before.

+1 I agree and even though I will give it a chance but I bett that will last only a couple of episodes before I say goodbye

Its got Jordana Brewster in it and gotta give ol' JR another run.

 

[harshness]

I wasn't a fan of Dallas the first time around (nor Falcon Crest).

Re-runs of "The Friday Night Destruction Derby" (Dukes of Hazzard) are certainly welcome.

Thats a good reason to watch it

Yep, I'll be watching. CMT is showing the original eps, at least the mini-series and some of the next season, starting the 14th.

I grew up not far from the house/ranch they use as the setting. If you're ever in the Dallas area come up to the Southfork Ranch as they give very nice tours about the show including memorabilia.

cool ty

 

[satjay]

Very cool in that they kept the intro the same

 

[whitewolf8214]

True but I may give it only a few more episodes and probably give it up

 

[satjay]

Wasn't to bad, had me laughing a bit seeing JR back still at his old tricks for a summer time show I think it may be a keeper. I did not catch al the second episode will watch the rest tonight

 

[osu1991]

It was entertaining, so we will see how the remaining 8 episodes play out.

My wife and I watched both episodes last night. I was told I HAD to make sure all new episodes record.

I really liked that they shot a lot of the scenes in Dallas, and at Southfork itself. I recognized many of the locations in both episodes.

I've actually gone swimming in the pool at the house they use for the show.

I saw the cast several times this week and they said that they actually filmed the show in Dallas ,Tx. Unlike the original show, which only filmed outside locals scenes in Dallas and the rest in a Hollywood set.
