"I hate to hit a man below the belt, but you know I will," says J.R. Ewing. "No hard feelings."

No hard feelings at all, J.R. We're just feeling thrilled to have you back.

And as he resumes his special grade of sweet-crude villainy, TNT's resurrection of "Dallas" does the near-impossible. It reclaims the soapy and sinister charm that made this saga a hit for 14 seasons until relinquishing its hold on CBS' Friday lineup in 1991. And it ushers in a new generation of at-odds characters to supplement such timeless personalities as J.R. (Larry Hagman), his former wife Sue Ellen (Linda Gray) and his ever-upright brother Bobby (Patrick Duffy), while folding in contemporary plot lines, notably the push by Bobby's son Christopher to profit big from renewable energy -- which, of course, is heresy to J.R. and his own son John Ross, whose veins flow with oil.

All this awaits viewers on the back-to-business "Dallas" (with a two-hour premiere Wednesday at 9 p.m. EDT).

wow that is pretty old movie.

I saw previews the other night. One of the clips was JR taking a helicopter out front of Cowboys stadium

The original show always opened with the fly over of Texas Stadium, guess they need to give our new digs its spot in the show. I wonder if Jerry will get a cameo spot.

I have it set to record on the DVR. Loved the show originally. I hope they use the same theme music. It became iconic.

I think you mean Victoria Principal.

Yeah, I saw this advertised on TNT during the NASCAR race yesterday and thought ***? First I've heard of it. Looking forward to it, as the original was MUST SEE TV way back in the day. I was glued to the entire run, what was it, 14 years?

And yes, I believe they said the original theme is back, and the screenscapes ala the original but somehow updated...should be interesting.

I wouldn't be shocked to see Jerry have a cameo role.

I wonder if they will have a Cowboys Stadium fly over?

Ugh....


I was still real young when this show was on, barely in my teens when it went off the air, but I HATED this show. My parents loved it but it was so stupid.

I'll be sure to miss this one.



BUT for the fans who loved it, I'm happy you folks have a show you loved back.

I loved JR in the old show. A great line when he said "I'm going to bring Bobby down, even if I have ruin Ewing oil to do is".

Larry Hagman done a great job playing one of the most iconic roles ever on TV. I really can't picture another actor ever playing the part as well as he did. I watched the show just to see who he would screw over each week.
