I appreciate that this is sort of Dallas: The Next Generation and that it brings back some alumni from the previous show to reprise their roles. But man, seeing how they've aged (particularly Patrick Duffy) only makes me feel old, especially considering that, for most of its run, the original was a show that I had to sort of sneak to watch as it was on past my bedtime. The new series has brought in some young pretty people to round out the cast, including Jordana Brewster and Jesse Metcalfe, and they seem fine... from the less than 60 seconds that we've seen so far. With the daytime soap drama becoming increasingly endangered, it's unsurprising that the primetime ones are making a return, and being on TNT might actually give this a chance to find its footing so it doesn't get axed instantly like Lone Star (which had initially been touted as the "new Dallas"). A soap needs time to really gain an audience and this one has a built-in fanbase that will likely get a thrill when they hear the familiar strains of the theme song, so I'd say it's got a shot. As long as the newbies in the cast can bring the drama and go toe-to-toe with Dallas alums like Charlene Tilton and Larry Hagman, that is. My big question is: When will they shoot J.R. again as a ratings ploy?
