Life is good!
Hopefully Bobby will come out of the shower and the whole Obama administration will be written off as a merely a nightmare.
Yawn. Can’t they find any new teleplays worth considering for a series?
I saw the title and I thought someone blew Dallas, Texas up...
Geez that is all we need is for those idiots in Dallas to believe their own press again.
I could work.
I liked the Dubai reference. It would be great if there were regularly-appearing characters drawn from oil nobility elsewhere in the world.
I read Steve Coll’s “The Bin-Ladens: An Arabian Family in the American Century” a few years ago and heck, they were just like the fictional Ewings! There was the patriarch, many more wives and mistresses, sons and daughters, worthy heirs and black sheep (you-know-who) and ne’er do wells aplenty. Scandals, wars, shady dealings and noble endeavors. Never a dull moment.
I use to love that show.
Wonder why Victoria Principal isn’t included?
And the real reason that the original TV show Dallas was such a huge success...Americans were tired of the miserable Carter years, conserving energy, gas lines, wearing sweaters, etc. Dallas offered wealth, glamor, capitalism and was a welcome diversion. :)
Just in time to give Obama another platform to rail against "millionaires and billionaires."
I bet this version has Obama's secret "arts army" planting subliminal messages into the show about what happens when you get rich off of dirty oil and filthying the earth.

With the Jimmy Carter’s 2nd term it feels like the 70’s, so they might as well redo all the 70s TV shows. How ‘bout BJ and the Bear next.
Gonna be the same old frap, except with more sex, because they can.
I’m fond of Dallas because it helped me learn German when I moved to Switzerland. It was dubbed into German but the plots were so obvious the language became easy to figure out.
I used to love how the German voice actors would say “Sowsse Foak” (south fork) and “Deddy.” (Daddy)
I’ll bet whoever owns Southfork is happy. I think it was turned into a conference center.
