[QUOTE="the-lost-son, post: 290513, member: 672"] That's why the often used "dysfunctional family" does not really describe the Ewing family for me. It sometimes feels like a family series of days long gone. The Ewing boys calling their father "Sir" and their mother "Miss". The family is dressing up for dinner which is eaten at 6 o'clock sharp, no discussion - period. Marriages are talked through (with a few exceptions - which consequently bring problems)... and and and I wouldn't be surprised at all if a series like "Dallas" came back one day - or in some decades (like Little house of the prairie, Highway to heaven etc.) The concept (rich family drama, Texas setting) is timeless. But you can't recreate magic. Dallas filled a void in the 80s. Many of you who watched it back then, can describe it better than I could. But the Zeitgeist is different now - many aspects can hardly be transported into now. I don't think the TNT continuation has any long-term effects. A reboot which got canceled after 3 years is not the end of the world. It's a fast moving industry, but any more content with Linda Grey, Patrick Duffy, David Jacob's are obviously highly unlikely. TNT Dallas had one major problem - it didn't attract a substantial new audience! (and not alienating old audience who watched mostly anyhow even in order to complain about or details which are noticed by few handful outside this forum only like the cattlemen's ball, Katherine dead etc.) The new Star Wars trilogy didn't please most of the old fans, but they managed to attract new ones. Same goes for the mission impossible franchise - hated & objected by the original cast (&fans I know) but still highly financially successful for 25 years: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.google.com/amp/s/screenrant.com/mission-impossible-1996-movie-show-cast-hate-jim-phelps/amp/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
