This will be the first full season of Dallas without Larry Hagman’s JR Ewing. Can the cast and producers continue to draw viewers and solid ratings without their quintessential bad guy? Will the new Dallas be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season? Stay tuned to find out.
Airing on Monday nights, Dallas continues to follow the machinations of the dysfunctional and powerful Ewing clan. The cast includes Josh Henderson, Jesse Metcalfe, Jordana Brewster, Julie Gonzalo, Brenda Strong, Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray, Mitch Pileggi, Emma Bell, Kuno Becker, and Juan Pablo Di Pace.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.
Final season averages: 0.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.92 million total viewers.

Reference point: The second season of the new Dallas averaged a 0.8 demo rating and 2.67 million viewers.
Cable ratings are typically released within a day or so of the show’s airing, except for in the case of weekends and holidays. They are sometimes harder to come by so there may be occasional delays or gaps.
What do you think? Do you still like the Dallas series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
Update: TNT has cancelled Dallas after three seasons. Details here.
Dallas should return. Today’s ad people have no heart. They only do the bottom line. Look at what’s on and how long they’re on. Even if you like something, there’s no longevity. They either put crap on forever or good stuff in short 12 episode bites loaded with ads. Then they cancel it. TV today really sucks.
I’d like to know why Dallas was cancelled. Makes no sense. They always cancel the winners and keep the garbage. What a crummy thing.
If Dallas was back on, there’d be more people watching TV.
Bring back Dallas. Great show.
Why don’t they bring back a quality show like Dallas? Not only do the viewers get a raw deal but the producers do too. Advertising seems to be the problem. Always after the quick buck and from who they target. They control the strings. They messed up when they cancelled Dallas.
Remember when we would get 22 or so episodes per season? Gee pay tv changed all that huh? Now we get gobs and gobs of commercials on regular tv…and have you seen the regular tv evening line up? So sad. I wish we had the shining spot of the night back. Bring back Dallas.
Why can’t a show like Dallas be on TV? It burns me up just thinking about how they cancelled this show. Not good.
If the networks can’t produce squat….then bring back a sure winner. Bring back Dallas.
Surely someone can do better than Dallas…guess not. Bring back Dallas.
I’d rather be watching Dallas. Please return this show.
C’mon, If they can’t make a show better than Dallas…then just bring Dallas back and quit trying to get the millennium viewers who just live in their parents basement and don’t buy anything.
Dallas was loved by everyone. I wish it were back on the air.
I sure wish they’d find a way to get Dallas back on the air. That was the best show. These others aren’t as good.
Dallas should return. There are so many fans of this show. Please bring it back.
Dallas fans will never give up. Dallas is going to return in some form. Let’s make it happen.
