[QUOTE="Herofan, post: 206672, member: 3717"] I agree. How could one have a continuation of Dallas without J.R.? The only way would be if it could be done by getting the point across that it's totally different than the original, but not different in a TNT way, but different in a way Lou Grant was different than the Mary Tyler Moore Show. Maybe Bobby and Ray could move to California and become private investigators. Well, not really, so I'd leave a continuation alone. I'm not much on prequels. In one sense, it would be great to see the earlier days of Jock, JR, and Bobby, but after TNT, I wouldn't trust anybody to do it justice. They would come up with a bunch of story-lines that didn't fit what we know and make it seem like another universe. Even when prequels try to stay true to the original, prequels usually go over the top and try to outdo the present part that it's based on. Personalities are also difficult to duplicate in prequels. I often watch and think, "This doesn't feel like the characters I know." I would love to see something "good," but TNT left such a sour taste for me that I wouldn't trust anybody to do it, so I would just leave it alone. [/QUOTE]
