DALLAS EP's Cynthia Cidre and Michael Robin Halt Efforts To Find New Home For Canceled Series!

I really enjoyed this show. Never missed an episode and always watched live. It was appointment TV for me. I appreciate everyone’s efforts to keep the show alive and will miss it. Would have loved a resolution to the cliffhanger, at least. Best wishes to all involved for future success.
The original DALLAS and this DALLAS were both appointment TV for me from the very first episode of both series. I think if one of the major networks (ABC; NBC; or CBS) picked up the new series, it would be a hit. Ms. Cidre and Mr. Robin are, I think, amoung the best writers to ever work on television scripts. What a great, spell-binding time they provided us.
Although I am not happy to hear this news I wasn’t really expecting much. It seems like other genre’s can be rescued by the fans, just not soaps. I loved the first season completely. The second season started to lose me when they starter ading so many new characters at break neck speed. I kept up, loved seeing Judith LI ghat but the 3rd season really was on the fence for me. I think the wrtiers took too much liberty when they started inferring Southfork was anyone’s other than the Ewings. There was no way JR could have done anything… Read more »
Like you, I enjoyed the first season, but lost interest halfway into the second season. I thought I might binge-watch to catch up, but obviously wasn’t interested enough to do that. I’m not sure why…maybe it was the two “boys”…John Ross & Christopher… that didn’t grab me.
Anyway, I sorry for those that loved the show, but it really doesn’t matter to me that it’s not coming back.
Now if they could bring back Knots Landing, with most of the originals, I could get into that!
TNT failed to recognize its audience. DALLAS started off strong on Wednesday Nights in the mid to late summer three years ago. It aired at the perfect time of the night for fans to enjoy. Then in their zest for winter ratings, it was forced back onto the air in the dead of winter on a Monday night to fight for ratings on an already powerful night for cable as well as network programming. And yes, with the loss Larry Hagman was a hit to the show, but the wriiing and acting never faltered. If only TNT had not messed… Read more »
Completely agree with you. DALLAS was a good show – it had it’s faults but it never failed to entertain on a weekly basis. But the biggest mistake was taking a successful summer series and moving it to the regular season. DALLAS was fluffy popcorn fun – it simply couldn’t stand up to the regular slate full of fall and spring shows. While I understand the need to make the attempt to see if it could thrive against stiffer competition, once they discovered it couldn’t, I fully expected them to course correct and return it to an annual summer series.… Read more »
The should have attempted to get a wrap up movie made – the chances would have been better. A two or four hour movie could have gotten financed between DVD/VOD sales, domestic and foreign licensing. “Dallas- The End. ” Really crappy to leave off on a cliffhanger.
I read fans of dark shadows never got over its’ no ending, so i can see how the dallas fans may never get past it also..
always wondering how it would have ended / closure..
shows like dallas are very expensive to produce and maintain, and the broadcast networks are not able to support big productions as dallas..
It needs cable ..
Farewell to a very good soap. Never missed an episode.
I am very upset and sad, that another network did not pick up dallas. RIP. Too many crappy reality shows out there. I only watch the voice and Dancing with the stars. I no longer watch American idol, that needs to be cancelled. I am very grateful we still have 4 Daytime soaps left. I love watching Days of our lives, GH and The Young and The Restless. We need to support and watch the soaps. Amen.
DALLAS was my favorite show on tv and it will be missed. Grateful that we had three seasons, but it should have ended better. I like Nick’s idea above about they should have at least done a tv movie/wrap-up.
I’m not a fan of Cidre so glad to hear she is moving on. This provides an opportunity someone more talented and actually knows how to produce a prime-time soap to come along and take another stab at the Dallas reboot. I’ve had enough of Cidre.
I agree. I was not impressed with her “spin” on the Ewings and “Dallas.” She didn’t seem to know or to appreciate fundamental elements about the original show that were a key to its success.
Cidre is was not only wrong for Dallas but any show. Having a new vision for the show isn’t necessarily a bad thing but awful writing riddled with continuity errors from episode to episode and personality-du-jour are massive problems. Compound it with completely illogical plots and twists that make no sense or worse yet damage the characters, and you have a show not worth saving.
TNT SUCKS!!!
totally agree!,
I am so sorry to hear this news. I really enjoyed this show and its amazing cast. My very best wishes to everyone in the future.
Well, that sucks!!
Sad news indeed!
If Dallas had 14 or 15 great seasons before why end now. You can have 14 more seasons on USA network or CBS before Blue Blood on Fridays. Move Hawaii five o to TNT.Dallas should not cancel nor end the series to keep the program on the air in memory of Larry Hagman. If he were still alive the network or the writers wouldn’t end Dallas. I say at least air through the Winter on any network. Do what you have done to other soaps leave the airways but,air them through Hulu etc.as you do for All my Children and… Read more »
