[QUOTE="Karin Schill, post: 311140"] I agree the Dallas continuation in 2012 came a bit too late. They also lost precious time between the announcement in 2009 and the launching of the show since CC was tied up on some other project. It they had worked a bit faster we could have gotten at least one more season with Larry. :( Excellent idea. A five part mini-series to wrap it up the way it had begun would have been great. But I've heard somewhere that JR Returns wasn't really supposed to be a reunion movie but more like a pilot for a possible new series. But it wasn't picked up. Instead two more reunion movies were ordered but after War of the Ewings they cancelled the third reunion movie which was supposed to have been the last installment. I also strongly suspect that the "Julia" character in "JR Returns" was Pam in the original draft as I remember reading an article at the time that said VP wanted to read the script carefully before she decided if she would come back or not. The first thing I read about the reunion in the fall of 1995 even said VP was on board. So I remember being disappointed when I realized she wasn't. [/QUOTE]
