The actual season 1 and not the DVD's version. I am loving it so far. For a while there I was kind of bored, but the episodes got more and more interesting. :D

So far I think Pam and Bobby are rather boring...though I love the feuding going on between their families.

I LOVE Sue Ellen, Lucy and JR so far. They find themselves in the crazier plots, which I love...for obvious reasons. XD

I think I saw someone mention this on the Dynasty board, but I seriously wish Krystle had been more like Sue Ellen: a big bitchy boozehound. I love over the top women like that. Which is why I love Sue Ellen. ]]> The Dallas TV Series Official Forum Dynastys_Bitch81 http://www.soapchat.net/showthread.php?198181-New-Fan no Dallas 2.0 http://www.soapchat.net/showthread.php?198179-Dallas-2.0&goto=newpost Wed, 08 Sep 2010 20:18:42 GMT I'm posting this here because many have not checked out the Dallas 2 forum in a while.

TNT Press Release:

DALLAS – Executive producer Cynthia Cidre, writer of the acclaimed film The Mambo Kings and creator/executive producer of the TV series Cane, has crafted an update of the long-running series about the Ewings of Southfork, whose betrayals, jealousies and passions have made them famous. The story focuses on the offspring of bitter rivals and brothers JR and Bobby Ewing, who clash over the future of the Ewing dynasty while the fate of Southfork itself weighs in the balance. This project, based upon the iconic series created by David Jacobs, comes to TNT from Warner Horizon Television. ]]> The Dallas TV Series Official Forum Jock Ewing Senior http://www.soapchat.net/showthread.php?198179-Dallas-2.0 no <![CDATA[Production set to begin on new 'Dallas' pilot!]]> http://www.soapchat.net/showthread.php?198177-Production-set-to-begin-on-new-Dallas-pilot!&goto=newpost Wed, 08 Sep 2010 19:25:03 GMT Many thought the show was passed on at the script stage, but TNT announced that it's going to film a pilot for this and four other new shows. Here's what the official blurb said:

Quote:
TNT and TBS are going into production on four series pilots, including projects from such successful producers and writers as Dean Devlin (TNT's Leverage); Marco Schnabel (TNT's The Librarian movie trilogy); Kenneth Biller and Mike Sussman (Star Trek: Voyager); Allan Loeb (Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps); and Cynthia Cidre (The Mambo Kings).

"These pilots reflect our enthusiasm for relatable but complex everyman heroes, showcased in exciting storytelling environments," said Michael Wright, executive vice president, head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies (TCM). "They also reflect our reliance on extraordinary talent to deliver on the promise of quality series television. The writers of these projects bring great intelligence, heart and humor to their work. We are confident each of these projects would be a terrific addition to our original series line-up."

The returning producers insisted that "it was the only way to bring Bobby back," (which was and is debateable) and that "the ratings jumped up once Bobby came back," (an abject lie).

Some accepted it. Most didn't. But regardless of how you felt about it, "Pam's Dream" became a sitcom punchline for years and is still regarded as the jump-the-shark moment in all of TV history -- largely because of how globally gargantuan the show was up until then.

That said, given the fact that the dream explanation couldn't be undone, and the damage to the show and its image was significant, was there something DALLAS could have done to "tweak" this infamous narrative gaffe?

Admittedly, given how mediocre the final three seasons were, it hardly seems to matter. But (especially had those three years been a little spiffier than they were) would it have done any good to have done something like this?:

In the final moments of the last episode "Conundrum" in May 1991, Bobby rushes to JR's room upon hearing a shot, gushes, "Oh, my God...!" and the camera either freezes on Bobby's shocked face (as it did) or pans down to JR's bleeding skull on the carpet below............ and then the picture ripples and rolls and gradually becomes superimposed with that shot of Pam in bed, as JR's image fades away........... the picture stabilizes, Pam gets up, goes to the bathroom, opens the shower, sees only a pink tiled wall in front of her, looks down, sees Mark Graison's body on the floor, Pam gets a stunned close-up, and, with no music and only the sound of the shower and the emptying drain, the camera gradually moves into a super-close-up of the drain until the screen is black.

LEONARD KATZMAN
LARRY HAGMAN

This way, the dream issue is acknowledged and revisisted. And while not all detractors of The Dream would be forgiving, this gives the fans a number of options they didn't previously have: Did JR really attempt suicide? Was the original Dream in 1985/86 really a dream after all? Did the Dream really start after Bobby stepped out of the shower in 1986? Was the entire series a dream until Bobby stepped out of the shower?

What was and what wasn't a dream? Was this a dream within a dream? Or even a dream within a dream within a dream?

It wouldn't seem likely to add any damage to the show, given how momentous the Dream controversy had been in 1986. But it might, in the final reel, put the original dream into a different context. ]]> The Dallas TV Series Official Forum Snarky http://www.soapchat.net/showthread.php?198166-The-Dream-redux-style-would-this-have-helped no Pam was out of line! http://www.soapchat.net/showthread.php?198165-Pam-was-out-of-line!&goto=newpost Tue, 07 Sep 2010 18:58:35 GMT Been rewatching the DVD series from when Bobby & Pam are estranged to the Fire at Southfork (that spotted shirt made it's last appearance lol) to their "not supposed to happen" DIVORCE and beyond ..... to Bobby meeting Jenna Wade etc.

Pam .... was out of line on so many occasions, when she was estranged from Bobby she continued 'to see Mark Graison' for Dinner reservations, holidaying in the South of France and even let him be part of Christopher's life. Bobby had to accept her actions. When Afton phoned her in France to say Katherine was moving in on Bobby, she got on the first plane back to Dallas, seething with jealously and went straight out to Southfork to question Bobby, with no remorse of "where she had been and who with"! It was if, she had her rules and Bobby had to live without the company of women.

JR set up Bobby with Katherine's help so that Pam would see him enjoying himself with a women, which was not the case, hang on, Pam was dining out with her "beau Mark"...:S ... she storms off.

The mention of the fact that Jenna Wade was back in Bobby's life seethed her even more, and her reaction on her back porch said it all. Mark was a "mug" to even think they had a future together, when all she cared about was her ex beloved Bobby!

IMO Bobby had moved on, he realised that he had lost Pam to Mark (because of "THE LETTER") and that he showed not much emotion when he saw them together, only when he wished them well for their wedding which I thought he found awkward to do ....

Pam was very selfish, during her estrangement from Bobby....I never thought I would say that, as I loved the character ... but Pam "you were so out of line"...

Poor ol' Bob, I felt sorry for him, he did everything in his power to try and win her back, give up Ewing Oil, move out of Southfork, and move away from Dallas, and she repayed him the way she did .... DIVORCE!!!

I did feel his pain, despite the fact he wore "1 tacky blue spotted shirt".....

PS I thought Katherine was well matched to JR in the "underhand ways of the world" and Morgan Brittany played the character so well.
