We are of the group who remember when Larry Hagman drank, smoked and had dark hair.

That's entirely possible, lol.

You don't have to have the ratings that network shows have to survive. If the ratings don't drop much , Dallas can last 7 or 8 years. The one negative is that cable shows don't produce as many episodes a season. TNT usually orders 10 episode seasons unless the show really takes off. The Closer usually had 15 episodes a season.

There's no way in hell this Dallas lasts 7 or 8 years.

The cast might not even make it that long!

Nobody knows how long it is going to last. I am going by what hit shows on cable usually last to.

What are you talking about? Most of the cast is young. There are only 3 stars from the original show that are regulars. Linda and Patrick are in good shape. The only question mark is Larry. Now if something happens to him, then the show could be in trouble.

Do you really think they're going to kill Booby off?

If they do they'll just bring him back from the dead...AGAIN!!

I'm sorry but in a way the stars have just become caricatures of themselves and it's somewhat silly!
