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?

It’s been excellent. As good and conniving as the original. Great writers this time around too. Definitely bring it back!
Bring it back! !!
Bring it back!!! Keep it going!
Dallas is the best thing that has happened to TV in a very long time. The writers are on a roll. This seasons finale was amazing and a great start to next season. The secret to a great series is keeping the audience guessing what’s going to happen on the next show … and the series does a great job doing just that.
I’ve been a fan and have never missed a show including the series many years ago. The new series is a perfect continuation of the original show.
Dallas must return…only show worth watching!
3rd season? Definitely, I watched the original series and was so excited about this new series. My husband even watched it with me. Josh Henderson is not only good looking but the perfect actor as JR’s son. I went to visit Southfork and had a great time. Keep the series going – Monday night was a good night to watch the show.
ABSOLUTELY –KEEP IT GOING!! This is one of the best series on TV right now!! I love the characters and the fast pace the show moves!! I was a huge fan of the original series and truly hope they keep this show going for many season to come!!
We LOVE Dallas! Yes, Yes, please bring us more…..The writers are great the cliffhangers are equally great and leave us wondering from week to week with planned early dinners & kiddos taken care of so we may tune in!
