Dallas: Renewed for Season 2-TVLine

According to TVLine's Vlada Gelman, TNT has renewed Dallas for a 15-episode second season. Here's an excerpt from the article:



Thus far, the slick continuation — which stars original cast members Patrick Duffy, Larry Hagman and Linda Gray, as well as Josh Henderson and Jesse Metcalfe as their offspring — has been averaging 6.9 million viewers each week of its inaugural season.

“Dallas has been a success for us on every level: pitch-perfect writing, smart directing and buzz-worthy performances by a new generation of stars and their iconic counterparts,” TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies programming head Michael Wright said in a statement, adding “it’s clear the Ewings of Southfork have once again captured the imagination of viewers.”

Dallas‘ Season 1 finale airs Aug. 15. The 15-episode sophomore run is slated to debut in 2013.

My thoughts: While I absolutely loved the first two episodes, I didn't really like last week's episode, and I'm still trying to decide exactly how I feel about this week's episode. The fact that I haven't been able to decide how I feel about this week's episode isn't a good sign to me. Usually, I immediately know how I feel about an episode of a TV show as soon as I finish watching it, so the fact that I can't make my mind yet about the episode has me questioning my ability to enjoy Dallas in the long-term sense. I'm planning to watch this week's episode again, so I can see how I feel about the episode after I watch it a second time.

Also, I have to admit that I'm surprised TNT has already renewed Dallas since the ratings still haven't stabilized yet. Personally, I think they should have waited to see how the next episode or two does in the ratings before they made a decision about whether or not they should renew it. This renewal seems a bit premature to me.
