Throughout the 1980’s, I had hoped that a battle between Ewing Oil and ColbyCo of Denver were started over a productive oil discovery. J.R. Ewing vs. Alexis Carrington would have been great, great television.
You can't recreate that 80’s vibe anymore than you can reheat yesterday's souffle.
I’ve seen just about every episode of Dallas and Dynasty, they used to be on soapnet. Love them. I’m glad they never made the planned Dallas movie which eventually became a COMEDY.
So I watched this, I found it neither great nor terrible, I’ll keep watching it.
The plot is pretty convoluted, everyone is triple crossing everyone else. The fight is over Southfork which as I remember has a ton of oil on it but Miss Ellie had forbabe drilling.
JR is an upscale nursing home cause of depression, he seems fine though. Why would he be depressed, maybe cause Cliff Barnes (who did not appear) is running Ewing oil for some reason. Last I heard in a tv movie a long time ago Bobby was running Ewing Oil and JR had Weststar.
Charlene Tilton (if that was her and not Snooki in a blond wig) looked like crap, I’m glad it was only a cameo.
I wonder if they’ll ever reboot or remake Dynasty. Joan Collins is probably available.
