We can do better with DUers! C'mon, which Lounge Lizard of GD denizen would make the perfect JR? Who would be die and come back to life Bobby? Guzzlin' Sue Ellen?

[Deja Q]

1. Must they remake it?

:eyes:

When "My Mother the Car" gets remade, then we'll know they are out of options.

OMG, make something new?!

[supernova]

2. Well, 'xactly

Who thought of a Dallas reamake anyway? The accountants?

[Bunny]

3. Joe Pesci as Cliff Barnes.

[supernova]

5. Now there's an interesting choice...

"You think I'm funny. Funny, how? ..." :D

[Bunny]

7. Yeah, I bet ol' JR would think twice before he tried to push

Pesci around! :D

[kmla]

4. Bea Arthur as Miss Ellie.

Or perhaps even Jock Ewing. She has a deep voice - wouldn't be that hard to believe...

:D

[supernova]

6. LOL!

I like your style kmla. :D

8. Supernova in a blonde wig as LUCY!!!

Travolta as JR? WTF?????is that a joke?
Hey, if they are gonna make it a FARCE,
why not Patrick Warburton?
Teamed with Keanu Reeves as Bobby?

[supernova]

9. Me as Lucy!

:rofl: :D

According to the BBC, nobody has accepted their parts yet; it's all just talk for now.

[Richard Steele]

11. Why not? Wig alone could give a more lifelike performance than TRAVOLTA!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[SteppingRazor]

10. Billy Bob Thornton as JR! n/t

[supernova]

15. I could actually see that...

But BB would have to work his way up to handsome. JR is also good-looking and has a certain sex appeal.

12. I live in Dallas, and even I think this is a horrible idea

But if you're going to remake Dallas, I would not cast Travolta as JR. Seriously bad idea.

[underpants]

13. Off topic- Have you seen the commercial on TV Land for Dallas?

I think Dallas was going to be given some made up thing at TV Land's made up awards....anyway.


from an above shot you see a cowboy hat

as the camera lowers you see it is JR

getting his boots shined

14. I've seen it but once.

While working on an Israeli kibbutz, a German chica I was sweet with, coerced me. Said it would be educational. So educational, I never watched it again.

Dallas was blamed for tossing a wrench into communal life all over Israel in the early 80's. Folk weren't attending meeting to watch Dallas. So kibbutzim kept shifting meeting schedules around Dallas broadcasts in order to get things done.

16. Are you series?

That's hugh!!!!11!

That's amazing. Although, when I lived in Vienna for a summer in the Mid-80s it was well known about town that if you went out to eat on Wednesday evening, expect not to get waited on with any efficiency. That's the night "Denver Klan" (Dynasty) was on. :eyes: :rofl:

17. I pick

that they don't make a re-make.

Wasn't the original show on like, at the same time as Dukes of Hazzard or the Incredible Hulk?

(yep, I was eleven or twelve at the time)

:hi:
