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?
Bummer!!!!
I am extremely disappointed about the cancellation of Dallas. They cannot leave us all up in the air about what happened to all the characters after the cliffhanger at the end of season 3. If they cannot do a series, they should do something like a 2 part movie. They have done that before,after the first Dallas series went off the air. There should be some sort of closure for the cast of Dallas and all of the fans.
How dare they cancel one of the best shows on TV, if the #’s were down it may have to do with high price of cable TV not the show itself. If they are smart they will renew Dallas for the better of family television. If they cancel Dallas, then Bravo should be next and all the crazy reality TV shows.
Dallas should not have been cancelled. It is a great show and we all miss it. Please bring it back.
I am so disappointed they have cancelled Dallas. I enjoy it so much and hate that the Ewings won’t be back. I hope TNT reconsiders and brings it back. Yes, I would watch it on any channel that would pick it up.
I am extremely disappointed Dallas isn’t coming back for Season 4! I would DVR several episodes at a time and bing watched it. It had interesting plot twists and was often pretty scandalous. It was so much better than all of the silly “police dramas” on TNT.
Dallas was a great show for the evening!!! They should bring back the show because it was getting really really good!!!
MESS is the nice word for the crap they have on now, it actually starts with S and end with T. Maybe the ratings wouldn’t have dropped if the night it aired didn’t change.
I’m disappointed that they have cancelled Dallas. I wish they would reconsider. There are so many many fans. They are all disappointed. Please bring back the Dallas TV show.
I thought it was a GREAT show and me and wife waited every week for it and when we couldn’t watch it we did DVR .I think they made a serious mistake not airing it.
I love love love this show and I am very disappointed that it will not return for another couple of seasons!!! Do they count DVR recordings? This is absolutely a great show and I will miss it!! TNT needs to cancel some of the other mess it shows!! This is the only show I watched on TNT.
I am so disappointed with the cancellation of Dallas. I feel that if you would have ran reruns of the original show, you could have picked up a lot of viewers for the new show.
This was a really good show and I am very disappointed.
Bring Dallas back it was a good show showing the next generation is what life all about
I truly love this series and now when I think it’s the best tv series you want to take off the air. Really. I will miss the Ewings. Yes I would watch it on another channel if it became an option. Learn what good programing is and keep your viewers. It doesn’t take rocket science to figure that out. Bring back Dallas. I was looking forward to seeing it. If I didn’t then I wouldn’t have found this site to leave this comment. Please bring them back. That would be the best dicision you made yet.
What’s with these TV people anyway? They take away a great show like Dallas and put on absolute crap. And we’re supposed to watch this instead? Do you really need to be told?
OK, I will tell you then, since you apparently don’t have a clue how to program TV.
Bring back Dallas!!! Simple enough, right? Why didn’t you think this way when you canceled the best show on TV? It really makes you wonder.
