[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 208456, member: 102"] How did you get onto the Dallas set in 1983 and meet nine of the cast? Was it a prize for a contest you won, did you know someone who knew someone who made it happen, or something else? Sounds like you had an amazing time! They really did have amazing casting. It's hard to believe that they were able to find those particular actors to play those particular characters. I have said I'd like to see show that would cover approximately 1968-1978, and if they cast great actors in those roles and had a great script, I would enjoy it. I always thought it would be fun to see Bobby in his "playboy lifestyle" and see Jock building the company while teaching a young JR the business. BTW, I don't expect that to happen, but as long as we're talking about hypothetical scenarios, that would be something that would interest me. I really can understand why you don't want to see any more shows named Dallas at all though. I would hate to see a prequel done poorly. I'd hate to see something set in 2020 called Dallas because as you've said,[USER=21]@Barbara Fan[/USER], Dallas was a product of its time. I'm glad it started just before the 80s because I think that gave Dallas more realism than the other 80s primetime soaps seemed to have as well as a certain ruggedness. The ranching, the fights, the unpretentious attitude (as far as them not really flashing their wealth around like others would have). Dallas was the original 80s primetime soap and the originals are always the best. That's why the more I think about it, I just don't see any type of Dallas set in the present time working. TNT Dallas failed! A good story is timeless, but that's very different from thinking you can put a good story in any time period. Dallas every bit as much belongs in the 20th century as Gone With The Wind belonged in the 19th century. [/QUOTE]
