This evening, TNT airs the final two episodes of Dallas’ second season and, unlike the price of oil, the ratings have been down. Will the TV series return for a third season or will it be cancelled instead?
The new Dallas picks up several years after the original show ended. Time has passed but the Ewings and the Barnes are still at each others’ throats. And, though Larry Hagman passed away, there’s still plenty of drama at Southfork. The cast includes Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray, Josh Henderson, Jesse Metcalfe, Jordana Brewster, Julie Gonzalo, Brenda Strong, Mitch Pileggi, Emma Bell, Kuno Becker, and Judith Light.
Last season, the new Dallas was one of TNT’s most-watched dramas, averaging 4.42 million viewers and a 1.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic.
This time around, the ratings weren’t so hot. The second season has averaged 2.64 million with a 0.8 demo rating. The numbers spiked for the JR Ewing funeral episode but they went back down the following week.
While the ratings admittedly haven’t been as strong this time around, Dallas is still TNT’s best performing show right now. Both Monday Mornings and Southland have only been averaging about 1.4 million viewers.
The cable channel also knows that the show is facing a lot more competition at this time of year — compared to when the first season aired last summer.
While TNT hasn’t cancelled or renewed Dallas yet, it seems very likely that the Ewings will return for another round of in-fighting and deception.
What do you think? Would you like to see Dallas return? Is the show as enjoyable as it once was? Should TNT move it back to summer?

Please bring this show back on the air. So tired of the realty show stuff that it is mind numbing trying to find a show like this one on the channels. Love the schemeing and all the characters. TNT listen to the viewers and bring back good television…, DALLAS!!!!
Re-new pretty please!
Loved the New Dallas and was really looking forward to next season! Very disappointed to find it is not being recast!!!
bring it back not fair
Yes!!!!Bring Dallas. I’ve been a fan since the beginning. The cast is Real . Not reality Show crap! For me and my family WE LOVE IT!!!!
I HOPE IT COMES BACK. TV LISTINGS ARE SOMEWHAT BRING WITHOUT IT!
I feel Dallas should return. It certainly isn’t as good as the old series but is entertaining enough to watch. I think they had better make up their minds before the older stars die off!! Then it wouldn’t be worth watching!!!
Please bring back Dallas the tv series on TNT ,or another channel. It is still a great show!
I loved this show!!! What a loss to hear it won’t be given a better chance. Finally a decent show with an awesome plot and once again a great series cut!
The New Dallas should be called DALLAS THE SPANISH EPIDODES
good evening,
i would like to see Dallas return, I enjoyed watching the series from the past come to the future with the children all grown. Please bring it back or try to sell to another network
The series reminds me of when I growing up, my parents loved watching it and we could get a glimpse of it and has a lovely realistic storyline. Dallas is a classic and I hope it will be renewed. Its a series out if the ordinary.
I think if you average four million viewers a episode, then have enough respect to give them what they want , show them the Dallas they want
I would like dor you to do dallas again i will watch it weather its on cable regular channel maybe why dont you try hulu or nexflix for more season 4 5 and so on really good picture.
Please bring back Dallas! I never missed one episode !
