"Dallas" EPs: Attempt to Find Cancelled Show a New Home "Did Not Work Out"

Like many an oil well, the #SaveDallas campaign has sadly run dry.

In a message to fans posted to DallasDecoder.com, Cynthia Cidre and Michael M. Robin — executive producers on TNT’s recently cancelled revival of the classic CBS sudser — reported that “Herculean” attempts to find the show a new home on another network or outlet came up empty, and thus have ended.

“Warner Horizon has attempted, in a Herculean way, to try and find us a new home, but at the end of the day it did not work out,” the duo’s statement reads.





Cidre and Robin then go on to commend the #SaveDallas effort, saying: “We so appreciate the outpouring of support by all of you, and the #SaveDallas campaign was a truly remarkable undertaking. We cannot fully express how much we loved making this show for you and with you.”

In the wake of waning ratings, TNT pulled the plug on "Dallas" in early October, two weeks after it aired its Season 3 finale.

We tried, but so be it.

I haven't seen any of the post-Larry Hagman episodes, but I imagine without him, Dallas just wasn't the same.

Hi Friends,

Well, we have come to the end. After a 6-week attempt to try and land
our beloved “Dallas” at another network, we have to inform you that we
have not succeeded. Warner Horizon has attempted, in a Herculean way,
to try and find us a new home, but at the end of the day it did not
work out.

We so appreciate the outpouring of support by all of you, and the
#SaveDallas campaign was a truly remarkable undertaking. We cannot
fully express how much we loved making this show for you and with you.
We had 3 wonderful years together, and we had the times of our lives
bringing this iconic show back to television. Thank you for your
support; thank you for your loyalty to our wonderful characters; and
thank you for watching our show.

We wish you all our very best, and thank you again for loving
“Dallas.”

With great admiration and appreciation,
Cynthia Cidre and Michael Robin
