Dallas
TNT's DALLAS Cancelled After Third Season!

61
I think it is canceled because it aired on TNT instead of one the bigger networks as FOX, or ABC etc..
It’s all about location location location, Dallas had bad location that killed Dallas..
I don’t think it is about location. The cable channels are the go channels for drama now:
Breaking Bad
Mad Men
Game of Thrones
Fargo
The Last Ship
Walking Dead
All air on cable and do well some do better than networks.
I just think it’s time has come.
If i was on network TV instead of cable, this show would have been cancelled a long time ago.
I looked forward to every season and hated to see them end.
I will never start to watch any series on TNT again. This was s big let down.
This is just dreadful. The writing and acting on Dallas are superb. I watch some shows in primetime, on network TV, and shake my head at how unbelievable thin the plots are and how mediocre the acting is. Dallas was just so well done. It’s demo numbers were very similar to Y&R. Of course Y&R is a daytime drama, but it must be a hell of a lot more expensive to produce than Dallas and Dallas isn’t vying for a network slot. With so many networks looking for content, this show has an audience and should be valuable to someone.… Read more »
I think the show shouldve been a summer series with a few extra episodes then repeated in the winter months following Christmas season…TNT shouldve tried a different time slot…but IMHO…no matter how many great actors there were on this show, it just wasnt the same without Larry Hagmans J.R.!!!
It has been hard for them to find their way w/o JR…. it was so stupid and sad when they undid his whole master plan, it was like not just spitting on JR’s grave, it felt like they disrespected Larry as well. :/
I agree, season 3 was strange NOT due to the lack of Larry Hagman but due to the lack of leaving his final act as JR intact. I also felt season 3 failed because they literally turned every internal Ewing (or in the case of Elena extended family) against their counterpart…..Bobby and Ann / John Ross and Pam and Sue Ellen / Christopher against Elena…..I loved John Ross & Pamela and they should have focused on them being a super-couple. I loved when the Ewings were united against a common enemy outsider like Cliff or Harris and his psycho mother.… Read more »
This absolutely STINKS!!!
I guess I have no more reason to watch TNT now. I thought Josh Henderson had really started to fill the shoes of the show’s villain.
We can only hold out hope that another channel like TVGuide picks the show up, they’ve already got Y&R. Then there is a chance that perhaps netflix or hulu would take it on. It’s geared towards 20-55, taking it online could be the logical step.
I am crying all over the place about this announcement.
I missed being able to see the original series because I had to work nights, and now that I’m completely hooked on the reboot, TNT has to go and cancel it.
Only the good die young…

I loved Dallas. It had a great cast, and I will miss it a lot. Josh Henderson was phenomenal as John Ross!
I thought the last batch of shows (hardly a “season”) was so boring I simply tuned out.
I will admit that I didn’t watch the 3rd season. Without JR, it just wasn’t Dallas. I know that was, by no means, the show’s fault- may Larry Hagman rest in peace- but it was just very hard to watch without him. Also, I wasn’t a fan of Judith Light’s character, nor her son or granddaughter, to be honest.
I agree. I was a huge fan of the original series, and tuned in to this with great excitement. I loved it. I watched until after JR/Hagman’s death, finished out that season, and then I gave the second season a try. I made it through most of it but I found it boring. I didn’t think the two actors playing Christopher and John Ross were very strong, and even with the divine Linda Gray and the hardworking Patrick Duffy, it just wasn’t compelling enough. I found the younger female actresses all appallingly bad. I wanted to love it with all… Read more »
You hit the nail on the head.
TNT waited too long to bring back DALLAS, and then when they did, poor Larry Hagman passed away. DALLAS is not DALLAS unless there is J.R. Ewing.
SAD…………ONE OF THE BEST NITE TIME TV SHOWS….LOVED THE CAST AND THE STORIES EACH WEEK….SURE OUT WEIGHS SOME OF THE PURE JUNK ON THE MAIN NETWORKS…GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE CAST, THEY WERE TERRIFIC!!!! MAYBE SOME OTHER NETWORK CAN PICK UP THE SHOW AND NOT SPLIT THE SEASON!!! WE CAN ALWAYS HOPE…
I finally watched the finale on my day off yesterday.
I was so excited to look forward to the next installment.
I certainly didn’t see a cancellation coming.
Perhaps the show could be shopped around – maybe FOX could pick it up ?
I think it is definitely worth carrying forward.
The only show on TV that is decently written. If you would have shown more than a few shows at a time your audience would be greater. I will never watch TNT again.
I am truly shocked!!! Didn’t expected to hear this!
What? Is the Network stoned? Is the kiddy demographic not correct. the writing was great. the actors were great the ratings were great. Was it a cost/benefit analysis? I remember the first Dallas in 1977 when i was 20 years old and the writing in this version 30 years later was just as good. maybe that was the problem. maybe the masses want more reality low budget TV with lousy writers and crappy actors. THIS SHOW HAD PLENTY OF LIFE. It NEEDED 3 more seasons to develop Please be picked up by another network and thrive. The demographics are there.… Read more »
I said this before, those early numbers were based on the fact this show debut in the summer without any major competition — there are viewers in the summer, but all the sweeps weeks that determine ad rates are not– so TNT foolishly believed if they took this popular show for them and put it on Monday nights, going against live shows like Dancing with the Stars, the Voice etc– during a sweeps period– it stood a chance. I think not. But what really killed it this year was the split season– showing four or five episodes stopping for like… Read more »
Totally agree!!!!! They messed up a good thing.
I agree, too. That, and lack of advertising. I didn’t even know the second half of the season had started until the two-hour finale. I hope someone picks it up. The cast and writing were great.
Totally agree….TNT is to blame. Don’t balme the fans TNT! Blame yourselves for splitting a season like that! No one even knew it was back on in August.
Im so upset!!!!! This is one of the only shows I look forward to watching. The acting is awesome! I hope another network picks it up!!!
This is very sad! I hoe that they can find a new home for the show!
I really love dallas and think its a shame that they would cancel it. Hopefully another network will pock it up. How can TNT just leave us hanging like this ? Very big mistake
This is why I almost never give new shows or any reboot a chance view. I hope it finds a home else where, I really did enjoy this show. It was my new Melrose Place and that reboot didn’t make it beyond 1 season. Happy Trails, Southfork… you will be missed.
Honestly, is anyone upset by this? Patrick Duffy and Linda Gray gave it there all but the show really suffered from poor execution. It seemed to me that the producer and writers made a LOT of mistakes. They failed to use the history of the show properly. While they did focus on the Ewing/Barnes feud and teased us with the idea that Pam might be alive, they completely ignored other traits of the Ewing family history or gave them too little treatment. Why were Lucy and Ray brought onto the show only for barbeques and weddings?? Poor Charlene Tilton seemed… Read more »
One thousand percent yes. Yes. Yes. You nailed it.
I agree with many of the opinions so why be redundant here. I think the 3rd season was trying to change the show. Got away from Ewings driving story and more into the Mexican intrigue. What was the point?
I agree 100%!!
What a shame! I really enjoyed the show, although it definitely wasn’t the same after Larry Hagman passed away. He was Dallas. But still, they did a great job keeping with the tradition of the show, but also modernizing it for today’s audience. Unfortunately, it was pretty obvious TNT had no intention of keeping it around. They split up the 3rd season, which I thought was a terrible idea. And then they did almost no advertising whatsoever to announce the show was coming back at the end of August. I had no idea it was coming back until I happened… Read more »
TNT has officially canceled Dallas, what a shame! I will admit that I tuned in every week to see the trials, tribulations, backstabbing and scheming that went on at Southfork and Ewing Global. But, in my personal opinion, there is a mix bag of reasons why the juggernaut cable network didn’t renew the series. Firstly, in my eyes, the date/time the series debuts, is a big reason as to why the show wasn’t picked up. Secondly, the ratings have obviously declined. And while fans of the Primetime Sudser continue to bash TNT for the cancellation, they should look more closely… Read more »
TNT.What the hell are you thinking?
This season was the best.and you guys are a bunch of buffoons for cancelling it.
so what now.another stupid reality show like Honey Boo Bitch
I for one are super pissed of your shortsightedness.
i truly hope another network or even Netflix is pick this fine acted show up.
one more thing you really suck TNT
WHAT IN THE HELL?!?!? TNT…how dare you cancel DALLAS?!?!? As of right now, I am D-O-N-E with TNT…and that includes TNT OnDemand!!!!! Bottom Line Here: TNT…shame on ya’ll!!!!!!!
Damn, I always missed it yet caught a marathon in early Aug before the latest new stuff began and I LOVED it…what a shame.
I’m very disappointed. I wish TNT would give it one more season to wrap things up…or even a 2-hour time slot to do so. It was wonderful to revisit Southfork again and I will miss all those creative souls who brought DALLAS back to life for us. I wish them well.
I watched but, truth to tell, this show was never much fun. Too many confusing double crossing business deals, and way too dark. No meals around the Ewing dining room table, no Oil Barron’s Ball ….
Oh come on now….you can’t just leave us hanging!!!!!! Please provide a way for us to know how all of the drama ends. Maybe just a 3 more episodes will do, or better yet, one more season….PLEASE!!!!!
When I recently saw the ratings for season 3, I had a feeling we wouldn’t see a season 4. This series was far from perfect but I sure enjoyed the heck out of it. It was one of 4 or 5 series that I considered must-see. Sad day IMO…
Dallas without Larry/JR , it was never the same..
I thought after JR was no longer- that Dallas would struggle..
And being on TNT is a coffin nail ..
You want a show to fail, start it on one night, during one time of the year, move it to another night, another Time of the year, and again, then split the season half, then another night, move it around turn it upside down,of course it’s gonna lose viewers. TNT you fucked us. I won’t watch your shows anymore.
I guess people like stupid “reality” shows like “Storage Wars” better. I’m extremely disappointed at this news.
I hate this, but at least we had three good seasons. DALLAS on TNT was my favorite drama on tv.
I am truly disappointed!!! Although I would love for Dallas to return for a 4th…. season, I don’t understand how a network can produce a show that had a true following and not tie up loose ends with at least a 2 hour movie. They left us with so many unanswered questions with the Season 3 finale and now we are all left up in the air on the outcome. I was very upset with the passing of Larry “JR” Hagman but I felt the cast gave exceptional performances especially by Josh Henderson (John Ross), Bobby & Sue Ellen. I… Read more »
Please Please tell me that this is just a JOKE!!!! I watched this show as a teenager love it and was very happy of bringing it back and love this series. Please reconsider your decision.
DALLAS is great and I’m sorry to see it get cancelled. Maybe if TNT (and all the other cable channels) didn’t split their season’s in 1/2 they would be able to hold onto an audience. Who ever came up with that idea wasn’t thinking straight. That is a sure fire way to lose your audience. Keep them guessing as to when it returns.
I really hope that TNT (&Other cable stations) gets a clue and stops splitting the season’s in 1/2. That TNT will change their mind and decide to bring back DALLAS..
So sad, I’m a fan from episode 1, living in Belgium and downloading the show every week because the third season wasn’t on television here. And every week I enjoyed and when the ratings came in disapointed, it was down every week. I loved the old cast and Josh Henderson was a perfect new JR, and Julia Gonzalez was great bud the show had to go about oildeals, family twist and business and not about some mexican drugs cartel. I hope the show finds a new network, if not I hope Dallas gets a final movie to give the series… Read more »
TNT sorry to say are really really really stupid
Tnt, really bad decision. I hope another network will pick up dallas. I have watched dallas since 1978.this last 2hr episode was the best ever.cbs would do a better job in either keeping this show, or at least have it end with a proper ending.dallas needs to continue.
Please someone pick this show back up. Ever espisode kept me on my feet.
maybe some other channel will pick it up. three years is good for a restart, but i hate it when they have so many unanswered questions and then you don’t get any conclusions.
I am truly sadden by this because the writing was superb. In spite of there being a lot of successful cable shows, there are just as many successful network show too, and I think Friday nights on CBS is where this show belongs. I also think if there is one area where it failed miserably, it was in not bringing back a lot of the vets as regulars because unknowns like Elena, Drew, Ann and Emma are people the show’s fans were not and did not want to invest in. We wanted to see what Lucy and Mitch have been… Read more »
I really enjoyed all three seasons of the show, but they did much more advertising for the first season. It was on TV, in magazines and on the internet but not so much for season 2 and 3. TNT killed it with moving it and the split season. I would have missed the first few shows if I didn’t have it set in my DVR. The season was to short, just as you were getting into the show it was over and it took to long to return. The rating will never be like in the day when everyone watched… Read more »
I agree with all of the positive comments about Dallas; (1.) the writing was superb; (2.)TNT is blind, (3.) the way the show was split during the summer and winter was poor planning, (4.) some other channel needs to pick it up, soon ; I was anticipating the outstanding new season , (5.) I felt as one of the commenters, since Hagman died, the show wouldn’t be good ; Hagman’s death was a huge dynamic ; (nothing could be done about that) ; however, the writers did an excellent job, anyway.
I am extremely disappointed that TNT decided to cancel Dallas. Viewers like myself have put in 3 seasons of watching the reboot of Dallas and have enjoyed the series. By what I have read there are alot of fans who are just as upset as I am and have signed a petition to try to keep Dallas on the air. I watched the old series from start to finish and loved all the characters. This reboot of Dallas not only had some of the fan favorites from the past but added some real talented actors. I can only hope that… Read more »
You know TNT cancelled the The Client List too. Seems like anything that’s any good gets canned. I loved Dallas! I was a big fan of the original Dallas. I mean stupid shows like those big butt Kardashians stay on the air, or all those stupid reality shows stay on. I don’t know who decides these things but they are talking to the wrong people. It’s just a shame that Dallas was cancelled with all the un-answered questions. I hope another network picks it up!! TNT, you guys screwed up!!!
To bad I will miss it. I”m a huge fan. I think they should at list give us a “finale”. If they would put it in a different night it would do better.
I only just discovered the show had been cancelled. I kept waiting and waiting for it to come back on, doing searches on my cable, for “Dallas.” I am disgusted beyond belief. I would not have watched it at all if I’d known that I’d be left hanging with all this stuff going on. Non cable channels have done this over the years with series shows. They should have done just a few episodes then to wrap it all up. Gee, what would have even been wrong with a happy ending? Maybe JRs ghost walking up and talking to family… Read more »
Just give us an ending! It’s really lousy of you to get us hooked on a good show, and then not give us ending. Come up with a closure show. No one likes to be left hanging. Mahalo & a Aloha.
