    Monday night's return of Dallas is a joy and everything fans could ask for--the past, present and future all skillfully bound up in a high-gloss melodrama full of deceit, greed, Velveeta and (surprisingly enough) even love.

    The program returns from its surprisingly tasty maiden run clicking on all cylinders, with plenty of bed-hopping, two-timing and Texas-sized dealmaking to go around.

    [Larry Hagman's last days on the show don't] keep Dallas from being robust fun. [4 Feb 2013, p.42]

    Dallas is just as superbly soapy as ever, but you have to wonder whether the show can survive without its legendary star.

  1. Excellent show- well done. It is very fast paced and I love how they make the twists so amazing that you don't always see them coming at you. This is a very good show Expand
  2. Dallas Season 2 was a big improvement of Season 1. More twists and turns and some wonderfully written episodes. Linda Gray knocks it out of the park this year playing Sue Ellen Ewing. Expand
  3. A worthy continuation of the original series. This version is sleek and fast-paced, but keeps true to the original. TNT should move it back to Wednesdays. Maybe more people would watch and realize what they have been missing. Expand
  4. Having never watched the original 70's shows I had to be practically forced to watch the new Dallas programme and I have to admit to really rather enjoying it. Yes, it is campy soap opera, but within its own limitations it isn't badly written and is performed with confidence and conviction by a great cast of old and new faces. As I am now a convert if there is a season 3 I will certainly be watching. Expand
