Oh good Lord.....
Oh, Geez. Next thing you know we'll be getting a reboot of "Perfect Strangers."
Meh, gives my parents something to watch.
Wwwhhyyyyy?
Better than the remake I'd heard about, with John Travolta 
as JR.

^ Wasn't Billy Bob Thornton up for the part at one point? I could almost see that working.
Agreed. I didn't watch too much of the last 4 or 5 years. It just ran out of steam.

That was a planned movie, which for all we know is still "planned"
The show is a "next" generation sort of thing. Bobby's kid vs. JR's kid.
They won't be that interesting.
But, JR? JR is ALWAYS interesting.

I guess we will just have to wait to find out for sure.....
I think it might make it, regardless of whether it even approaches the quality of the original.
1. Name recognition will boost the premiere audience.
2. TNT doesn't expect the same level of ratings as broadcast.
3. It's a soap with sexy young actors - that should appeal to TNT's audience.

It doesn't seem too odd to me in that it has what cable series seem to be looking for these days: a distinct motif and potential for intrigue and machinations. I only have passing familiarity with the original series but from what I remember it played up the Texas setting quite a bit giving it its own flavor.
Larry did an episode of NipTuck where they put a pump in his penis so that he could make love to his young, very young, young, young wife...
As a kid I loved the prequel "Dallas the Early Years", and "recently" I enjoyed the Revenge of JR a telemovie...
So is JR's kid going to be Jock Ewing III, or JockJunior Junior?

When he was born, JR said "John Ross Ewing the Third".
They called him John Ross in the original series.

It's cute how put out some of you people are over a show nobody's making you watch.
