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?
Please do not cancel Dallas! I watch this show . Please reconsider. I’ve watched this show since the JR. It was a great idea to create a next generation series don’t cancel it now. I will petition this!
Don’t you realize Dallas is the ONLY reason a majority of your viewers come to your station? IF Dallas is not renewed, you can kiss me good-bye as a viewer. What program, better than Dallas do you expect to replace Dallas with?
Please reconsider; Dallas never disappointed in the past, and the only disappointment,
here, is that Dallas was cancelled by your powers that be….that have no vision in what
viewers come to expect in excellent television programming.
One of the best shows on T.V. and your going to cancel it.
For loyal fans of Dallas, cancelling the show is one of the stupidest move by TNT. Why not stop carrying reruns of other syndicated shows and see what kind of reaction this gets?
I have watched the show from its inception and it is well written and the acting is excellent. I think the problem is that the show does not start during the fall new season and people don’t know when it’ll be returning. Years back shows started in the new fall season. Now quite a few tv/cable stations start shows during different times of the year. I think people started watching other shows and have become committed and didn’t return to Dallas. I would love for another network to pick it up, but I’m doubtful.
Please renew. I have loved the series since day one.
I can’t say more than that. It’s one of the greatest long running series of all times.
The newer series was at the very least hip and fresh and certainly embraced the
Ewing clan for this day and time.
Please, Please, Please
What is wrong with you TNT. This is a great show. Yes, I will watch it on any channel. Bring it BACK people.
DO NOT CANCEL DALLAS…IT IS ONE OF THE FEW SHOWS ON TV WORTH WATCHING………….WHAT A SAD SITUATION IF THIS NETWORK CANNOT SEE THAT IT IS ONE OF THE BEST….SHOW A LITTLE CLASS AND GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT……WE WANT DALLAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have watched Dallas from the very beginning. I love the show
You take this off the air but shows like naked in the wild etc on still on please, those shows are stupid, and insult our intelligence. These made up shows like Dallas take us away from reality and it is relaxing. I believe this is a stupid mistake.
Please don’t cancel. My grandmother lives with us in our home, she’s 89 yrs young and doesn’t watch a lot of the newer shows but she used to watch Dallas the first time round and she enjoys watching it again. It’s a show she can relate too.
I will watch Dallas on ANY station. And think this is the dumbest thing TNT could have done!!
Please, Please, Please DO NOT CANCEL DALLAS! It’s one of the best shows on TV right now!!! I love this show just like I did the original! I have friends & family that didn’t watch the original DALLAS and they love this show! It made them want to go back & watch the original some of which borrowed my VHS tapes to watch some of the old episodes. I love seeing these great new actors that portray John Ross & Christopher. I love the new characters that have came into the mix, they are awesome actors. Please don’t cancel this… Read more »
PLEASE PLEASE don’t cancel Dallas.. I look forward to the new shows.. if you are so stupid to cancel, maybe some other station will pick it up..
Dallas has many many fans.. do the right thing and keep Dallas on the air.
Agree 100% with you Bev but you can’t fight the powers that be….
Maybe your too kind words (which mirror 100% the way I feel) will convince
the right people, and we’ll see what was supposedly promised to us when we
started watching; too much left hanging in the wings.
Here’s a positive thought, maybe another channel will pick up
this bombastic show.
Much luck.
DON’T CANCEL DALLAS! NEVER MISSED OR RECORDED AN EPISODE OF THIS SHOW. I WOULD WATCH IT ON ANY STATION IF RENEWED
I really hope another network picks up Dallas. I love the show and was really looking forward to another season!!
Do not cancel this winning show!!
TNT, you really blew it. Your stupid 20’s and 30’s execs don’t seem to be smart enough to realize that a lot of us who watched the original series are watching it now. And I have seen it gain popularity among the younger set. But what do we know; we’re just the oldies who are ready for the nursing home. By the way, they have TVs in nursing homes, too. Most of those ‘reality shows’ that you put on TV are nothing but CRAP! Dallas has a plot and more that that it has class, more so that most of… Read more »
