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?
Bring Dallas back, loved that show. If they lost viewers I believe it was because of the channel it was on!!!!
It’s a shame that they cancelled Dallas. I always looked forward to another season and now there will not be a season 4. I’m a die hard Dallas fan and it hurts me that it was cancelled.
Please bring back Dallas.
It really ticks me off that they yanked Dallas. TNT you have no brains or heart.
Please bring Dallas back. I am a huge fan of the original series, never missed an episode. I am deeply disappointed that it has been canceled.
I was looking for Dallas to come back and when it didn’t I checked the internet and to my surprise it has been cancelled. I am a huge fan of the original Dallas and was elated when it was brought back to TV with some of the original cast.
PLEASE BRING DALLAS BACK ON ANOTHER CHANNEL
Bring it back I enjoyed the show it was great!! I enjoyed it as much as the original.
Yes, it appears that all we have posted, hasn’t warrant any more response from TNT in reference to our request even for a finale. I WILL NOT WATCH ANTYTHING ON THIS CHANNEL EVER AGAIN, there was a time that TNT was a must for my line-up
But no longer. Let’s hope a network with SMART WRITERS & PRODUCERS pick up one of the BEST prime time shows since the original DALLAS.
Why do you TV people spoil everything? Dallas is such a great show. It has far more fans than anything else that you would replace it with. Your data for your decision to cut Dallas has got to be terribly flawed. There’s no way that people in great amounts don’t watch this show faithfully every week. This is a geat miscalculation on your part. Probably your downfall, TNT. Dallas should be back on TV. All the fans miss it.
Excellent post, Mike. My sentiments totally. Unfortunately, all of our posts seem to be falling on deaf ears. I would settle for a couple of two hour segments that provided an appropriate ending.
Please bring Dallas back. We love it.Karla Fournier
PLEASE BRING BACK THE SHOW!!!!!!…MY WIFE AND I LOVED WATCHING IT WEEKLY AND COULDN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED NEXT. THE SHOW IS MERELY ENTERTAINMENT, WE KNOW OIL TYCOONS WILL NEVER GO UP AGAINST LOW LIFE DRUG DEALERS. YES, I agree about possibly putting it on a different station if need be.
Bring Dallas back even on another channel
What a shame… It was a great show. Networks go by the numbers, never by the what the fans want. It’s a shame because the people who do pick up a show really do get into the characters and I’m sure it still did pretty good business for the network. Here’s what I think you should do (Producers and Ewing clan): Switch networks (HBO? Showtime?) or get the show on demand and let the fans show you just how much we appreciate this show! If all else fails, I would love to see how the story unfolds (with the work… Read more »
The new dallas series would still be on the air if it wasn’t for the genius who decided to put billion dollar oil people against the low life drug dealers, that is what destroyed the dallas legacy, it’s really sad because I really loved the show
Please bring Dallas back
PLEASE BRING IT BACK BEST SHOW ON TV
