Well, I thought it had already, but apparently it is on season three!
Personally I thought it was rubbish from episode one of the re-boot, stopped watching halfway through season one.

Watched the first two series of the "reboot" and quite enjoyed them, but I haven't bothered with the 3rd.
It was very noticeable that the "original" characters were much more interesting (and better acted) than the newer characters, and I think a lot of viewers decided like me to leave it after Larry Hagman's death...

That was my feeling, I just thought they had "ported" some youth from a OC type programme over to give it a more contemporary feel, but it just felt so generic to me, obviously set in Dallas.
It's hard to lose such a big character as LH.

Inclined to agree. I guess it didn't really have the USP that the original series had.
I blame myself... I've this series recorded but haven't had a chance to watch any of it yet. I enjoyed it up to the end of the last series though. Have they ditched it half way through the season - if they have I won't bother to start watching.

All 15 episodes of series 3 have been broadcast in the States, so I would expect C5 to show them all as planned. What's happened is that TNT have decided not to comission a 4th series. There has been talk about fans trying to get another (US) channel to take it on, though...
Thanks Eugene - I'll keep recording and maybe catch up. I quite like the John Ross character. Another binge weekend next weekend - I've watched four episodes of Scott and Bailey in the last 36 hours - this moving house lark really scuppers your telly viewing schedules!

I watched the first episode and left it at that.

I think I made 3 or 4 episodes!
