Dallas fans will tolerate the show without J.R. as the new series is still better entertainment than much of the rubbish which has filled our screens for the past decade. Maybe Josh Henderson will take over the villain role,or they might introduce a new female character akin to Alexis on Dynasty or Angela on Falcon Crest.

Better than I thought it would be although that's not saying a lot. I'm looking forward to the season finale and finding out who shot JR. Looks like it could be pretty good although I still have a feeling that the writers will blow it somehow. They have to get this right and stop alienating fans of the original show if they want people to continue watching.

I miss Larry very much, but I'm really enjoying the show.

It is still a very good show, although I feel they rushed the last few episodes to clear up the J.R. plot and move toward a new direction. I hope TNT gives them a chance at season 3 even if it means waiting until summer 2014. It was the networks error in moving the show away from summer where it was successful. Combine that with losing Larry and the show did an amazing job overcoming the obstacles. I suspect they may need to lower the network's expectations a bit with Larry gone, but it is still a serviceable show.
