What's wrong with these movie-making dweebs? I guess no one has original ideas any more.
DON'T. MESS. WITH. DALLAS.
That is all.
Barbara Bel Geddes only died last year. MANY, MANY years after the show was cancelled. She was only temporarily replaced by another older actress when she was being treated for cancer, but then she returned until the show went off the air. Jim Davis, who played Jock Ewing, died of cancer somewhere in the first or second season. He wasn't exactly replaced, but Howard Keel did become Miss Ellie's new husband.

I could see Tommy Lee Jones as JR much easier than John Travolta. John has a hard time not being smarmy. Maybe Tommy's too old by now, dunno.

Personally, I was more of a Dynasty girl.
Absolutely. Joan "Alexis" Collins rules!!!!!
