Official Dallas Opening Credits now up on YouTube

I think their art direction in general is quite poor, the Southfork sets look equally mediocre.

It's 2012 for God's sake...everything looks like stuck in the year 2000. I could understand if it was the average Joe, but we're talking about high-society-rich people here...

They modeled them after real homes in Dallas, I read. The first episode at least, was filmed in the actual home, then sets built in Dallas to match.

I wish they had just rebuilt the sets to match the original interior. Am wondering if they'll explain the difference in the first episode, a remodel ? fire ?

ok, after watching the opening several times, I REALLY like it.

So, pictures did not do the sets justice? Good. I was hoping that what shows up on the screen would look grander or have a richer texture to it. 10 more days till I can finally watch and enjoy.

Quite nice. A little disappointed that there are no faces but, as others have already noted, they could have dispensed with an opening title altogether.

Yes. That is true. So, I guess we should all be glad that they decided to do what they did... after all, it is a more refreshed, faster paced opening and the music is great with the drums... just wish that at the 17 second mark it was a little different. BUT I'm very satisfied.

Well, the only quibble I have is with the "DALLAS" in white but i'm sure that'll be changed to gold by the time it airs.

Other than that the only thing I didn't really like was the that theme seemed a bit "subdued" so to speak. It didn't quite have the bombast that I remember but all in all this was a pretty good opening. Perhaps if there's a season 2 they'll do some tweaks, lengthen it a bit and show the cast.

Can't wait to see this!

I said it looked like they had been made in 20 minutes.

I stand by that:

mainly because they have had 2 years to come up with amazing ideas for the opening titles. The DALLAS logo dosn't have any shine to it - I understand what some have said about it being gold in the premiere which is great, but a few lens flares wouldn't hurt.

I like the way the text go into some of the buildings, that is brilliant. - The Dallas logo scrolls too fast and needs to be slowed down.

David Jacobs needs the famous

Originally Created by - credit

Bullseye! That is absolutely true right there. After all, if the current Five-0 can have "Based on Hawaii Five-O created by Leonard Freeman," then why can't this new Dallas have words to the effect of "Based on Dallas originally created by David Jacobs"?

[Seaviewer]

There are no production credits at all in it - just the cast. I understand that it has been decided that there will be a "created by David Jacobs" credit so I assume we will see that and the rest supered over the following scenes.

I love that the new Dallas has an opening theme. But I really miss seeing the faces of the actors in the opening credits. Now if they could just add those it would be perfect.

I don't care if the text color is white instead of gold. Just give me the faces!

Also another current show that has faces in their opening credits is "Bones".
