| J.R., keep your hat on! The Ewing family bath-time, as promoted in the all-new DALLAS! Image: TNT. |
That old rascal J.R. Ewing (Larry Hagman) and the rest of the old and new cast of the modern US TNT continuance of the classic DALLAS TV series get together for some soapy exchanges and certainly aren't afraid to poke fun at one of the original shows most absurd, and funniest, moments, when a shower taking Bobby Ewing (Patrick Duffy-no stranger to unusual water experiences from his MAN FROM ATLANTIS days!) returned from the dead, resulting in everything that his poor wife/widow Pam (Victoria Principal), and the rest of the cast, had experienced in the prior two seasons or so beforehand having all been a dream! Yep, it was the final desperate nail hammered into the shows late-eighties coffin (though we were, thankfully, spared the kind of flying saucer kidnap seen in DYNASTY!), but hopefully the shows new producers will not let another audience-grabbing gamble like that ever happen again!
Originally scheduled to air exclusively on the UK's FIVE channel this past January (but delayed), expect to see DALLAS-most likely a format of the original show meets a more serious DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES hybrid cocktail- once it starts airing in the US from June.
