There hasn't been much discussion here about the new series of Dallas on C5, but for those who are still watching:
I was just setting my recorder for it, expecting the usual time of 9pm as stated in my Radio TImes, only to discover it's not on until 11pm tonight (Tuesday).
Well, at least it means I'll be able to watch the match uninterupted...

I've read that the viewer numbers have been disastrous for the series so far for C5 Eugene. Its been a total fail for them, probably because Larry Hagman died and the brand will have done with him.

Yeah, I thought it might be something like that. I don't think they've publicized it too well, though, as I found out about the new series almost by accident.
They're supposed to be giving JR a big send-off in a few episodes time, however, so it'll be interesting to see how C5 handle it...
as soon as they start messing around with the times, you know a programme isn't going to be around long
Noooooooooooo!!!! I AM watching the new season of Dallas..., and loving it!
I could really do without them putting the time its on to even later though!! TIS A WORK NIGHT!!
I was a massive fan of the original series, never missed an episode, loved it. Especially JR's antics.
BUT.
I thought this reboot was poor fare. It looked like they had dragged some of the OC or one of those youth shows cast in to provide a youthful contemporary look and boost figures for the younger audience.
The story line was limp and quite predictable. So not for me. I want to remember it as a good show.
*Warning: this post contains spoilers for anyone still to see Episode 6 on catch-up.*
So, we've finally seen the last of JR. I was initially concerned when I heard they were restoring a previously-cut scene featuring Hagman. However in the end it was nicely done, setting up JR's last ever scam: tricking Bobby into downloading a virus onto his laptop! 
Rumour is that they're planning to give JR a big send off later in the series, and no doubt the reading of his will shall cause a few upsets.
Still, it's definitely the end of an era. Larry Hagman - we'll miss you.
Dallas in a nutshell,
"This company prides itself on honesty and integrity and it will never do anything illegal"
"Oh come on every oil fortune is built on a liddle corruption"
"I will not see our companies reputation sullied cos of your greed"
- door bangs open -
"What are you doing here?"
"I've come to claim what's rightfully mine"
"You aint taking this company boy"
"I have papers claiming 50% of everything"
"Southfork will burn before you take a nickle"
"I'll see you in court"
"Yer darn tootin' buddy"
THE END

That pretty much sums up my feelings for it too. I watched the first episode and it struggled to hold my attention to the end of that one.
The John Ross character isn't bad enough for me - no where near as much of a baddie as his father. Christopher is insipid grrrrrr, the story lines are weak - not enjoying it as much as I thought I would
