Forum: Dallas new pilot & series

Ok how about this: The battle between John Ross and Christopher has heated up, the family is split. Bobby is no longer at Southfork and the cousins are set on destorying eachother. Christopher is on the loosing end. In a plot reminisant of Rebecca's return. Pam now a wealthy woman in her...

Do you think the new series should have music underscores like the original? If so, who should write them? Do you think the series should have a music soundtrack album? Like short bursts of popular current/old hits played throughout the season? If so, which artists would you like to hear on it?...

So obviously no other group of actors could play the Dallas cast better than the original did but I really cant imagine John Travolta even attempting to play JR.. despite how much I love him as an actor (l) So I thought out my own dream cast if they ever made the movie/series :mrG I picked out...

I think that the creators of the proposed new series should take note of what the creators of the new Hawaii 50 series had to say at Comi-Con. http://www.tvguide.com/News/Hawaii-Five0-Comic-1020903.aspx

So that they can get more young cast members, perhaps (young)Bobby & Betsy could be included in the script. It would work as long as they didn't acknowlged anything about Gary having thought (the older)Bobby was dead on KL. Perhpas due to some family emergency John Ross or Christopher could contact...

......or have the family moved on to a bigger & better ranch ??

Any new developments?

I can think right off - JR, Bobby, and Sue Ellen with special guest appearances by Cliff and Afton Barnes, Gary and Valene Ewing, and Ray Krebbs. JR at Ewing oil, Bobby at Southfork with the boys, and Sue Ellen in charge of Ewing Oil and managing the day-to-day affairs. The next generation -...

As Bobby Ewing's natural son, raised by Bobby's half-brother Ray Krebbs, I think Lucas Wade Ewing could be an extremely interesting character, and I for one would like to see where he's at in the scheme of things. Since Ray Krebbs was a "good guy," it is all very likely that Lucas is good, too. ...

I started watching Dallas in the early 80's and was just becoming a teenager. Since then I have seen some seasons in part but was never able to follow it like I did when it first was released. I cannot remember why Bobby & Pam split up and if so did they reconcile and break up again....? ...

I think the credits should be the 3 wat split but do they look cheesy now on a new show?

Would it leave people upset on here either way? Would the Sue Ellen fans send death threats to the makers if she was reimagnied a la Battlestar as JR's husband instead of his wife? Or is a continuation the most satisfying idea?

Sorry accidently hit the button twice.

This forum has been around for a while now with no updates. I assume that there is nothing going to happen with regard to a new Dallas at this stage as we are well into the new year now so is there any reason it still exists? Just curious.

Any suggestions on the casting of John Ross? Please don't suggest Omri. Nice guy and all but not John Ross material for 2010. I suggest Sam Trammell

Will we finally see a Ewing christmas episode now? I really hope not. Its part of the Dallas myth that they don't have Christmas.

Any suggestions for the Barnes girl.

I have the first four seasons on DVD, but I don't want to buy anymore if WB is going to release a complete series box set. Do you think there will be one. Damn, it would be difficult to manage that many flip discs! Yikes. Still, I would much rather have a complete series box set than the individual...

Victoria doesnt hate Dallas, there is an interesting bit in the UD interview where when asked if she would return she asked if for the movie or on tv? On TV it was a no. Victoria would do something if was in her interest to do it.

This would be my sript idea for the pilot: John Ross and Christopher work at Ewing Oil but JR is still the boss. John Ross is the new Bobby of the show (and kind of like Gary) and Christopher the new JR. I'd love that. JR would hate is son for being so nicey nice and not really a business man. ...

If this series comes to fruition, how should Bobby be portrayed???? Running Southfork Running Ewing Oil, with J.R., John Ross, and Christopher. Texas State Senator United States Senator Governor of Texas Bobby did do a short term as state senator in seasons 3 and 4(DVD 4 and 5), and said...

I just watched "Bye Bye Cliff Barnes" from season 5... "...I am here to warn you, the Barnes - Ewing Feud is still going on. It's always been an uneven fight, the rich Ewings against the poor Barnes... Well now it's even... I swear Ill break the Ewing Family and I have the money to do it!" ...

Slightly confused over the header on this board. What could it be called? "Dallas 2.0"? "Dallas - The New Dynasty"? I hope they don't call it something like "Dallas: The New Generation" because to me, that whole 'new generation' thing sounds dumb. It just doesn't fit, if you ever scan YouTube for...

Who is bad and who is good? Maybe neither is good. Battle of the bad guys?

Okay I just had a dream that ties into the new DALLAS series and addresses the use of an opening theme and the set up for the series. Maybe they won't do a theme at the start of every episode but maybe for season openers, big "event" episodes and season finales. Anyways here's how it all came down....

There's a feature in today's Sunday Express which I'm sure confirms what many folk think - that there should not be a remake (new series, call it what you will of Dallas). Just because there is a total dearth of ideas and creativity for scripting new programmes does not been that classic shows...

As J.R. never had a daughter, what if they gave him a granddaughter? Perhaps James and Debra Lynn had a daughter. Maybe the girl is such a brat that they send her to live at Southfork. J.R. could dote on her, and the girl could be rude to Sue Ellen, knowing she's not her real grandmother. I see a...

First off, for the record, is this official yet?. Despite a hand full of articles across the internet with duplicate prints of the news, I'm not getting the true feeling that this is really official. Although quite unreliable, Imdb doesn't even have a space for it yet, nor is there a wikipedia...

I would love it if John Ross and Pamela Rebecca got together-the look on JR's face would be priceless and it would be reminiscent of the original show (Barnes and a Ewing).

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1222619/Sue-Ellen-JR-return-TV-bosses-revive-Dallas.html Dallas is about to make a comeback, with Larry Hagman returning to his role as JR Ewing. The hugely successful soap gripped millions of viewers all over the world in the 1980s as it...

I was wondering what the time scale would be for this pilot getting the greenlight. Obviousley the cast have been contacted but they stated they had seen no script. But Pamela mention that she had seen a script i think and its called 'the pilot'. Will we get some news before the end of the year...

Just like with the movie, I fail to see why this new series is either a good idea, or necessary. I'm having similar thoughts to those that I had when the movie version of Dallas was announced 7 years ago. I thought 'Why?' What is this need that Hollywood has to mess around with things that are...
