It’s the end of the line for the Dallas TV show — for the second time. TNT has announced that they’ve cancelled the new Dallas TV show after three seasons.
A continuation of the successful CBS series from the 1970s, 80s and 90s, Dallas follows the machinations of two generations 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.
Year-to-year, season three of Dallas was down by 26% in viewership and down by 38% in the 18-49 demographic. It’s one of TNT’s lowest-rated scripted series and that certainly wasn’t a good sign for its chances of a fourth season.
In a statement, TNT said, “We are extremely proud of the series, which defied expectations by standing as a worthy continuation of the Ewing saga. We want to thank everyone involved with the show, from the extraordinary cast to the impeccable production team, led by the show’s creative forces, Cynthia Cidre and Mike Robin. We especially want to thank the people of Dallas for their warm and generous hospitality during the production of the series.”
Cidre and the writers have been working on scripts and ideas for a fourth season of Dallas so hopefully she’ll share what would have happened at some point.
What do you think? Will you miss the Ewings? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a fourth season? Would you watch it on another channel?
Very disappointed the show was not renewed. My husband and I really loved the show and looked forward to every episode. Please reconsider returning the series.
Very disappointed the season wasn’t renewed. It was one show my husband & I really enjoyed and couldn’t wait for the next episode.
Please don’t take to long. We want to keep our fans. Jus luv this show!!
Of all the shows that get cancelled. Dallas has got to be the one show that should not have been on that list. How could any network decider go with a decision like that? There are millions of fans of this show. These millions miss this show very much.
I THINK IT’S A BIG LOSE I
THINK IT WAS A WINNER.
THEY SHOULD BRING IT BACK!
Bring Dallas back. It’s still an awesome show. Will miss it if it’s gone for good.
The problem is they put this show on a cable network, like TNT which requires a subscription from the local cable company.
Dallas the original series was successful because it was on Regular over the air TV.
Meaning the general public was able to watch it.
Knots Landing was OTA
Dynasty was OTA.
People without means to obtain subscription TV, watch OTA.
Company execs should take note of that simple fact. Gloss it up all you want.
Bring it back to OTA and the numbers will rise.
Big Mistake Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
Boycot TNT, Turn TNT OFF. Everyone i know will not watch TNT everagain!!!!!!!!
TV has digressed enough. Getting rid of great shows to make room for cheap reality shows is not the way IMO. Dallas was a great show. It was watched by millions. These reality shows are nothing more than noise while you iron your clothes. Really, what would you rather watch?
I guess the TNT tv programmers don’t watch anything.
yes i wil miss dallas put it on by love the ewings
I’ve been waiting patienyly for the shows return. It was better than so much of what television has to offer. Love the TNT Network, but, yes I would watch Dallas on another network and yes, I am 60+. Thanks
Absolutely love Dallas. Bring it back!!!
I agree with Mike and Nancy and I’m sure many, many more fans big mistake I can’t believe this is happening I have been patiently waiting for season 4 and was wondering what was going on and why the show hadn’t started yet. I’m very up I may be showing my age but I watched the original Dallas very faithfully and I know I’m not the only one that feels this way. So please, please bring the show back and bring back Christopher, the show was just getting good. Hopefully more people will write in and post their comments. This… Read more »
It sure does hurt to think I won’t find out about how the Ewings are doing…how they’re coping etc. Dallas is such a great show and story line. That’s why it has endured for so many years. It should go for many more. Please bring it back.
BIG mistake !!! Bring Dallas Back. so many love the program.
