No word on when it would be produced nor an airdate. Nothing more specific than John Ross and Christopher running (and debating over the future of) Ewing Oil. Sounds familiar.

Did they have an official title for it yet?

I'd suggest "Dallas: Beating A Dead Horse".

It's not a dead horse.
I somehow believe Dallas next generation would work better than remaking the original Dallas though...

They should call it "Fort Worth".

If Cowboys owner Jerry Jones appears in a cameo on the new show, it immediately jumps the shark. Immediately.

Either him or Mark Cuban ;D

Do you hear that? Is that the sound of Ari Gold flying over a shark's fin on water skis?

First show to jump the shark before the premiere?

It seems TNT is doing a bunch of its own shows these days and less of airing Law and Order reruns and other series they have from NBC and CBS such as Cold Case, CSI NY, Without A Trace, etc.

Agreed, I'd Watch Dallas-TNG. And do what ST-TNG did in have a total re-cast but let Larry Hagman, Patrick Duffy and other appear in the same way Leonard Nimoy and James Doohan did with TNG.

Just don't bring it back the way they did "Melrose Place" where being bad went from being fun to being a source of ridicule. All IMHO so YMMV.

It will be on cable, and it will not have to shoot 30 episodes a season to 'feed the ratings beast' that the original CBS version did. With good writing, they can easily push dramatic boundaries that the 1978-1991 broadcast version would have never dreamed of.
