The bloom is off the rose.But today the TV business is hard to judge and predict. I know teenagers who are great fans of CW Dynasty - and who have no clue that there was a show with that title in the 80s.As streaming providers target an international audience everything is possible. I think a concept like Cobra Kai (a netflix series based on the 80s movie Karate kid, 10 (30 minutes) episodes each year) can be possible for almost anything.Furthermore it doesn't seem that the "old" fanbase is that important anymore. Reboots of Highway to heaven, Little house on the prairie etc. are being planned and the average viewer back then is probably now out of the usual target age group.I'm not sure if Dallas could work in the current Zeitgeist for me. I considered it male-driven, sometimes chauvinistic show about a family and its empire. Race and sexual preferences were not in  the focus. I see it set more in the 80s (comparable to Madmen in the 60s for which I can't image in a today's version either).I fear if it ever comes back it might be sth. I don't like. With many iconic actors/characters gone one has to wonder why a reboot should be named Dallas if it has little/nothing in common with its predecessor - but if the brand is regarded as strong enough - it will be done.</blockquote>
