Frightening images show boy jumping between storey apartment blocks. You listen to me boy, there is no drilling on my ranch. It's over.
With the passing of the years, the Ewing family has grown even further apart with Bobby and his adopted son Christopher growing concerned about the environmental impact of oil, while JR Jnr follows in his father's footsteps craving money and success. Undeterred by his uncle's outburst, JR jnr files court papers to overturn the terms of his grandmother Miss Ellie's will, which forbid any further drilling on the family's land.
Steamy: The show featured a sex scene between Rebecca and Christopher, but his new wife was not all what she seemed. Brotherly love: The relationship between Christopher and John Ross is already fraught. Across town JR is initially seen suffering from clinical depression and is being cared for in a nursing home, spending his days in his pyjamas staring out he window unblinking, a shadow of the man he was.
Yet when his son tells him of plans to sell up while there is still money to be made, something stirs and the old JR returns to life, even more determined than before.
Wedded bliss: Rebecca and Christopher get married on the ranch, with Christopher's ex Elena standing in as bridesmaid.
Guest of honour: The premiere episode of the show also saw the reappearance of Lucy Ewing Charlene Tilton. Not even a Ewing. Breaking out in a grin, he added: 'Son, the courts are for amateurs and the vain of heart, this is personal. While Bobby is battling his nephew in the courts, he is also diagnosed with deadly stomach cancer that needs urgent treatment and is doing his best to keep his illness secret despite his obvious pain.
Battle: Bobby Ewing Patrick Duffy remains determined to protect the Southfork ranch despite battling cancer. Face to face again: JR had a poignant reunion with his ex-wife Sue Ellen after leaving the nursing home. New marriage: Bobby's new wife Ann Brenda Strong was also introduced in the first episode. But between old fans who will enjoy a revisit and young folks who never even heard of Miss Ellie, TNT is placing a sound bet.
The show's predictably melodramatic rhythms and telegraphed twists will be like nectar to those still pining for this old-school style of skullduggery.
Neither is the acting. But none of the elements is present, just soap bubbles and silliness. This is a remake that should never have been remade. He tells his doctors he has 'family business to deal with first' and refuses to spoil Christopher's wedding. His worried wife discovers his medication and suspects the worse, breaking down in tears. As family gather at the ranch to see environmentalist Christopher and Rebecca take their vows, the arrangement to sell the property hangs in the balance as JR Jnr tries his best to scupper plans with a giant conservation group.
He needn't have worried, his father had it all in hand, double-crossing his own brother with a fake deal which would see the land fall into his hands once more. Meanwhile JR's former wife Sue Ellen, who fought a battle with alcoholism, has seemingly turned her life around and is forging out a career in politics. Seems she has learned a thing or two from her days as a Ewing however and makes it clear she is very much on her son's side.
Think of me as an ally. It wouldn't be Dallas without a bit of romantic drama and minutes before the ceremony is due to begin it emerges, the groom's ex girlfriend still has strong feelings for him which appear to be mutual. If double crossing JR jnr thinks he can get one over the old man, he needs to think again. Even from his nursing home, JR is sharp as a tack learning that his only son is trying to take Southfork back for himself, cutting him out of the deal. And the Ewing elder statesman puts on a spectacular show over dinner with Bobby when he earnestly thanks his brother for taking care of him when he was in his state of depression - all the while stabbing him in the back over the family ranch.
Dirty dealing: Christopher and Rebecca delay going on their honeymoon, in order for Ewing Jr to work on a new business plan for the ranch. Comfort and joy: Bobby's plans to sell Southfork ended up being opposed by both his adopted son and nephew.
Dastardly: JR was well and truly back to his scheming ways in tonight's dramatic reboot. Later he puts on the charm again when he runs into his ex wife Sue Ellen at a fundraiser telling her: 'You are still the prettiest girl at the bar. But in the blink of an eye he is back to his menacing ways threatening his lawyer who he suspects of teaming up with his son. No hard feelings. Yes, television's nastiest Cat in the Hat has come back -- but will audiences want to revisit a family awash in luxury cars, country club memberships and fancy duds in such hard economic times?
They couldn't afford it," said Hagman, who first played the character in Well, here we go again. The sequel has some mighty big boots to fill. In its heyday, "Dallas," which ran for 14 seasons, was a pop-culture phenomenon.
The November episode that revealed who shot J. By comparison, the season finale of "American Idol," the most watched in the show's history, drew 38 million.
To ensure that younger viewers won't think the new "Dallas" is solely for their parents, producers have brought in fresh faces such as former "Desperate Housewives" supporting players Henderson and Jesse Metcalfe, and Jordana Brewster "The Fast and the Furious". Yes, Bobby and J. There may be a crop of new faces, but the overall theme remains the same: Don't. Every bedroom can have a hidden camera. Every e-mail account can be hacked. Every romance can be based on seedy intentions.
Every handshake deal can be undone by someone crossing their fingers behind his or her back. We honor the past. Notably missing is Victoria Principal, who played Bobby's wife, Pamela.
Bobby has remarried, with "Desperate Housewives" narrator Brenda Strong stepping in as his new wife, Ann. But producers haven't killed off Pam, leaving the door open for Principal to join in the fun after the first episode run is done.
The old guard isn't merely there to trigger nostalgia. These roles are as rich as a Texas oil field. Hagman looks even more devious this time around, thanks in part to the year-old actor's decision to let his eyebrows grow into wild, white bushes that point up like Lucifer's ears. Hagman's sly delivery hasn't aged one bit, especially when he evokes past misadventures.
