First, I couldn’t believe that Dallas was being revisited. Then, I couldn’t believe that the show had high ratings! While I didn’t watch in the ’80s I at least understood why people were drawn to this show—given the ’80s were all about excess. But now? What gives? Who in their right mind would be interested in watching a fictitious drama about the one percent? —Cry Me an Oily-Gusher River

it’s not like the bar was set very high, re: us television. shoulda made it in alberta, at least there would be real oil spills…burn baby burn, eh zedman?
Well OP, over 2 decades of Springer, Povich, Judge Judy and Michael Moore haven’t exactly dulled people’s appetites for the fictitious adventures of the 99 percent, now have they? Sure it’s rubbish, but that viewscreen in the corner of your domicile does come with a channel changer, not to mention, an off button.
prolly the same loothers that buy those check out mags with teen mom “breaking” stories on the cover..
Now, now, Marty. Thanks to those checkout mags I can now name all the Kardashians. There’s Khwim, Kholesterol and, Khlamydia. Knowledge is good.
Guilty pleasure…I am watching and liking it. OP (and all other naysayers) change the fucking channel. Really stupid bitch
burn baby burn…
that’s the one with patrick duffy, isn’t it?
I only remember him from step by step.
I don’t think I’ve seen a single episode of the old or new one…
and to be honest, I plan on keeping it that way.
yea…and this from a reliable source..Prince William has been hitting the…gimlets..pretty hard..kate is most displeased 🙂
Hay, the man flies Sea Kings FFS. I’d have the Bombay Sapphire hooked up to my veins everytime I did my preflight.
The Kardashians have a show. Jessica Simpson had a show. There are options, OB.
They should bring back MASH and WKRP too. Oops, nevermind they already tried.
Dallas in the 80s was an excuse for me and my best buddy to swill back wine and laugh our collective holes off at the cheesy dialogue and overacting. I’d rather leave it a pleasant memory instead of watching Larry Hagman discussing his bowel movements at that big ole family table.
o.p., you and millions of others that have a t.v., have two controls on them. one changes the channel, and the other,TURNS THE FUCKING THING OFF.
What’s next? Dynasty and Falcon Crest reboots? Jiminy! Please leave Joan Collins in the closet.
Really.. a bitch about television? Get a life, OB.. or at least learn how to change the station.
AND I GUESS YOU GOTTA GIVE THESE WASHED UP HAS BEENS SOME LIMELIGHT AGAIN. AFTER ALL, THERE ARE JUST SO MANY GHOST STORIES, SEXUAL ABUSES AND ADDICTIONS THEY CAN GO THRU IN ONE LIFE. YEP, GOTTA LOVE THEM HAS BEENS, CAUSE NO ONE ELSE WILL OR DOES.
