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.

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...

Personally I thought it was rubbish from episode one of the re-boot, stopped watching halfway through season one.

 

 

I watched the first episode and left it at that. 

I think I made 3 or 4 episodes!
