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 bring Dallas back. For me, each yr of the recent series has been better & more suspenseful than the year before. I couldn’t imagine the show without JR but I got so involved in the story line I evolved off JR. The story line & the acting are top notch. YES, I would watch it on another station & give that station a thumbs up on giving the fans what they want.
Have advertisers given up on older TV viewers? For young people foolish with their money and spend it like there’s no tomorrow? Have we come to this?
I think it’s young advertisers who have no clue as to what older people are doing. They’re after fast money and could care less about mature viewers. I can only say that they are so off track and clueless. If it weren’t for mature folks…this world would surely crumble.
Bring back Dallas…at least let us watch something we enjoy. We’re supporting those young people down in that basement, y’know kiddo.
I can’t believe tnt canceled dallas!!! I really looked forward to season 4. If you are going to cancel a series at least bring it to a close! Don’t just drop it and leave your loyal fans hanging!!! TNT is now boycotted in my house!!!!!
they cancelled a great series, someone said it was because of a younger audience, bull most of the younger people could give a hoot about any sitcoms, its mostly the older generation that stays home and watches tv. everyone Ive talked to his very disappointed that it was canceled. They could have put it on one of the network, like abc nbc ext. some of the crap they put on tv shouldn’t even be allowed. EXAMPLE, honey boo boo,and afew more stupid reality shows. What Crap. OLDER PEOPLE WATCH MORE TV THAN YOUNG PEOPLE. There to interested in face book… Read more »
The Dallas saga should continue. Those Ewings are just so much fun to watch. They create such great drama. They have for years. They should be allowed to keep going. Great show, miss it not being on. Hope it returns.
That’s a bunch of bs to cancel the show… I’ve been watching every Episode of Dallas since the early days and series. I want it to be brought back otherwise I am not going to watch TNT anymore!
BRING IT BACK, maybe if it was on a local channel like it had been more people would realize it was on. I watched them all n will miss them, just when it was on fire.
Please bring back Dallas ! Love the show . Never missed it and taped every episode .
Bring them back!
Keep the show running! I found it on Netflix. I’ve watched every episode in two days! I would love this show to keep running. Please!
Please bring back Dallas. Just keep it going for us. You guys are messing with the wrong fans.
Bring Dallas back! So disappointed. One of my favorites on tv. I’m so upset we can’t see how this show plays out.
I was sad to see it end. I really like the cast. please bring it back!! I mean at end it better.
I gre up watching the original. I love this new generation! I’m very sad it won’t continue. With so little good new TV on, this was a real pleasure to me & my husband. I guess I have another void in my nightly TV watching
Larry or no Larry (may he rest in peace God Bless him) The show is still a class act. A jewel of the small screen. TV, with all the crap shows that no one watches, is deteriating badly when they take away a great show like Dallas. Why can’t they see that? Perhaps another avenue like movies. Star Trek did that. Just don’t stop making Dallas and please put it back on TV, Please.
