Ok, so this blog has so far been obsessed with kids 80's TV, but the latest news that Dallas is to make a comeback has prompted a gear change in the direction of TV for adults (I would say adult TV but it gives the wrong connotations :) ).
So the infamous JR Ewing, scheming, power crazy oil baron is back. I'm happy to read that all the original actors are back, and he will be joined by Sue Ellen as his alcoholic wife (or is it ex-Wife?), and of course his brother Bobby.
I'm a little confused as to where the series left off - I was pretty sure JR was shot and killed, but obviously unless JR is returning as a ghost, that can't be the case. Any Dallas fans out there please feel free to enlighten me.
The most memorable plotline ever has to be the return of Bobby Ewing. After over 12 months of being out of the series (and the viewing figures dropping) the producers convinced the actor to return to the series. How would the scriptwriters get him back in the series? Bobby simply turns up in the shower and we find out Pam was dreaming all along! Simples!
The plot twist completely invalidated the whole previous 18 months plotline by having it all appear as a lengthy dream sequence. What a head fryer (reminds me of the last episode of Lost!).
With that in mind I can't wait to see what plot line we will open with, just hope we don't have to wait too long. But for those too impatient to wait, why not remind yourself of the glories of the most famous texan oil barons below:
