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?
Dallas was such agood show–better than years ago–especially because of the writing! All the crap on TV and finally a good show and you take it off! Well stupid move TNT. Hopefully a major network will be smart enough to pick it up and keep it going!
Please don’t cancel Dallas. I love the show. If you would switch Dallas to another channel I would definitely watch it. Josh Henderson does a great job a J.R.’s son
Don’t cancel it. I love it I need season 4 and 5 and 6
So,since when did TNT ever even become somekind of Reality TV Network? …Or,as good old boy “Bubba Billy Boy Clinton” might say that “It depends on your definition of
Reality”….Enough Said Here!…
TNT…why don’t you know a great program when you have one of the best shows on
television on your station?
I think your problem isn’t that Dallas wasn’t watched… The viewing problem occurred
because of the time frame and the time elapsed between new viewings.
Please give the show one more try….
PLEASE do not cancel Dallas. As a fan of the original Dallas series, I am also a BIG fan of the current one. Acting is great and Josh who plays John Ross is fantastic. Look forward to each week’s episode wondering what catastrophe will happen next.
Please don’t cancel Dallas! I loved the original and love this just as much. It is such a great show – great acting, and writing. Give it another chance
Please don’t cancel Dallas. I have been watching the saw since I was young I’m 44 years old now. I get so excited when the new seasons starts. I wait and watch TNT to find out when New season is coming back…
Please don’t cancel Dallas. I Love this show !!!
Please don’t cancel Dallas or hope at least some other network will pick it up. It caused me to get all of the original series and start watching it again.
i am a great fan of the old dallas and the new. my monday nights are a stop, dont talk to me until my show is over time. i have other shows i like to watch on that night but they are put off and put on back burner until i watch dallas. i just found out that one of my best shows to watch is being canceled, this is not the right way to leave good fans hanging. if dallas does move to another network it should not start from begining. we the fans who watch it fathfully need… Read more »
I would watch Dallas on any station! I do hope another network picks it up. PLEASE!
Don’t do it. One of the best show on TV.
was one of our favorite shows please don’t cancel it
Please don’t cancel this show! It’s a great show! I don’t understand, why you would cancel Dallas and shows like “South Beach Tow” and others like that stay on so long. I’m really getting sick of most of the “reality” show. Dallas was great in the 70’s and they are GREAT today!
Please!!!! Keep the show on!!!
Reality TV blows ! Stop cancelling great shows like Dallas. I love the original cast and the second generation. I do miss Larry Hagman, but I love Josh Henderson. He makes the best bad guy since J.R. Don’t cancel the best sequel ever made. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE,PLEASE don’t cancel this great show !!!
The news that TNT cancelled Dallas almost brought this old cowboy and soldier to tears! I attended the 30 anniversary reunion at Southfork Ranch and found that the original series had diehard fans of all generations and nationalities. The new Dallas is not just a TV series, but long awaited continuation of an American legacy that spaned 35 years of our history. Ratings be damned! The faithful few (near 2 million is NOT just a few!) are devistated. If TNT will not do the right thing and back off their decision, then I pray that another network will pick up… Read more »
TNT’s line up of programs–Castle, Castle, Castle. Monotonous! Now Dallas has been cut.
What does TNT have to offer in the way of exciting programming? Please don’t cancel Dallas! Dallas was THE best thriller TNT had to offer. Many thanks for the kind consideration.
