February 19, 20205 yr Author comment_463281 Have they tried to revive Miami Vice yet? The Dallas revival was actually pretty good. A bit too night time soap operaish but you could tell the show runners loved the original. It lost something when Hagman died and they had to write out JR. He was tremendous in that series, even at his age. Loved his line "Blood is thicker than water. But oil is thicker than both."

He was tremendous in that series, even at his age. Loved his line "Blood is thicker than water. But oil is thicker than both." I watched that first season with Hagman but when he died I wasn't interested anymore. As soon as Hagman died that series was finished. He carried that show as the supporting new characters were weak in comparison to the original series. Patrick Duffy wasn't able to carry the new showon his own the way Hagman did. He didn't have the same presence on screen & his character Bobby was a nice guy. In the original series, he balanced off JR's ruthlessness & lack of morality. Without JR, Bobby was just a weak Goody Two Shoes. Victoria Principal wasn't part of the new shoe & neither was Steve Kanaly who played Ray Krebbs on the original show. He was the half brother of Bobby & JR & he was looked down upon by JR who never considered him an equal or entitled to any of the estate of their father. Leaving Kanaly & Principal out were mistakes. To me, the new series was okay but not great.

To me, the new series was okay but not great. Kanaly was in the revived series. I think pretty much everyone from the original made appearances. I liked that they didnt just focus on the "kids". Even casting Mitch Pileggi, Lee Majors, Judith Light etc. And while I hated John Ross at first, the actor really grew on me. And Emma Bell turned out to be a lot better than she seemed at first. They even had the Knots Landing cast appear. The storyline of JR arranging his own death seemed pretty goofy though. But it was funny in that it implicated Cliff, didnt it? lol Oh, JR!

I wonder if they would have revived Knots Landing as well had the Dallas revival gone further....nah if the Melrose Place semi revival didn't work I doubt that a Knots Landing revival would have gone far

February 26, 20205 yr comment_464546 man first Pete now Colin? (though Colin's reason is very likely different, Pete Davis might want out due to a toxic work environment which btw is not exactly unheard of considering the horror stories I've heard about Chevy) https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/colin-jost-memoir-saturday-night-live-departure-1203507648/?fbclid=IwAR141OBBKLsl_8o40wi4gufTIQL7KyzHnpVXzdxzJWG-ObddeaN535KGAjg Edited February 26, 20205 yr by iHeart

March 5, 20205 yr Author comment_465648 I love this series. Julia Garner is awesome. And Jason Bateman is great in everything. Also, HBO is developing a series based on the video game The Last of Us (Highly acclaimed but I am an Xbox guy so Ive never played it). Developed by the guy behind Chernobyl.

I have no such fear, really looking forward to their take on modern times, hopefully they don't just regurgitate their past success like Monty Python chose to. Such a pitiful output for their immense talent, mostly caused by their failure to find consensus on almost any projects for decades, now it's too late.
