This must be 70's night here at my house. They are doing a reboot of Dallas the iconic show from the late 70s-80s.
The original Dallas aired from 1978 to 1991 and centered on the Ewing family, a cattle and oil dynasty occupying the expansive Southfork Ranch in Texas. The new version will focus on the Ewing offspring — J.R. Ewing’s son John Ross (Josh Henderson of Desperate Housewives), and Christopher, the adopted son of Bobby and Pam Ewing (Jesse Metcalfe of Desperate Housewives) — as they clash over the family dynasty’s future. Jordana Brewster (Fast & Furious) stars as Elena, who is involved in a love triangle with Christopher and John Ross. Julie Gonzalo (Veronica Mars) stars as Christopher’s fiancĂ©e Rebecca. The updated Dallas will feature original series stars Larry Hagman, Patrick Duffy and Linda Gray. Hagman gained worldwide fame for his portrayal of oil baron J.R. Ewing. Gray played J.R.’s wife Sue Ellen Ewing, while Duffy portrayed J.R.’s younger brother Bobby.
I used to watch this show every Friday night - who shot JR was a great whodunit and also when Pam woke up from a year long dream with Bobby in the shower.
I visited my girlfriend who lived in Dallas and actually went to the house that they filmed in which is the Ewing Ranch. I actually got to sit at JR's desk. It also had a little museum with memorablia for the show - Lucy's wedding dress, cars, etc. It was a fun trip!!
Can't wait to watch the new one!
