I didn't know that, that would have been awesome.
I tell you, that speech she makes in the "Dynasty" pilot....hubba hubba.
The New Dallas on TNT was canceled, after a bizarre season. It ended with them killing off Bobby's son Christopher, who was incredibly boring. They had a fake out where Pam might have still been alive. Good thing she wasn't, Victoria looks just awful. Heavy smoking, bad facelift, something.
As I surmised, “Dallas” wasn’t going to survive without J.R. The “kids” just weren’t terribly interesting and John Ross was a pale imitation of his father. Too many boring male models in acting these days, and it’s hard to tell one from another. The only new person they brought in who caught my interest was Judith Light (there’s a reason she was considered perhaps one of the best daytime soap stars in the history of the medium). With better writing, she could’ve become the next J.R.
Apparently, what sent the ratings into a tailspin was that the fans were highly disapproving of the show going heavy into that Mexican drug cartel storyline and getting further and further away from the Ewing Oil & family drama. It was becoming another show entirely with a different focus. If Christopher had been killed in the ‘90s, it would’ve been shocking. When I watched it, I just shrugged my shoulders. You just don’t feel an emotional attachment to the characters. That’s probably the single biggest problem with tv shows today, and it’s a huge element.
