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.
I wish they’d make a Dallas movie to tide us over until they can return the show to TV.
If Dallas were to return to TV, people would watch it. Isn’t that what advertisers want? Seems pretty easy to me. We all miss Dallas.
Dallas was a show that everyone loved. It wasn’t right to cancel it. Everyone I know watched it. It should return. Bring back Dallas.
Wouldn’t a Ewings-Barnes feud take you away from all this political BS? It would for me. Bring back Dallas please.
I’d rather be watching Dallas.
I wish Dallas would return to TV. There is a terrible void of what’s worth watching now. There are very few shows, if any, about the values the Ewings dramatized. Dallas had great actors, great stories, and was done with class.
Yes, once again, I vote for bringing back Dallas on a premium channel not encumbered by commercials. There are far too many commercials on everything. It’s wearing my thumb out pushing the forward button. But I wish Dallas could return on any channel.
Maybe we could get Dallas back on a pay TV channel like Showtime or HBO. That would eliminate the advertisers control. Can anyone imagine how nice it would be to see this great show without commercials? That would be great.
These new shows are’t very good. Good thing they only show about 12 now. Ahhh the days when Dallas was on and had many more episodes per season.
This is getting so political. Let’s just have Dallas back.
Even without JR, Dallas was great. JRjr took the reins very well. Such a great show and yet it was cancelled. I wish we could have Dallas back.
I would love to see some activity in the direction of returning Dallas to TV. It would even be nice to see a Dallas special or movie. You give us 3 years of a return to Dallas and now nothing. It would be so nice to see Dallas again.
The TV show, Dallas, was loved by all. It had a very high viewership. Apparently it had the wrong kind of viewers for the advertisers. Advertisers seem to control all, don’t they? They only want punky junk on to sell their stuff to young buyers who never think about saving.
Could we have Dallas back please? There isn’t anything on that’s near as good.
Find me one show that even holds a candle to Dallas…. You really can’t. Dallas was a great show. It had class and was watched by millions. It is such a loss to not have it on anymore.
Bring back Dallas, Please!
