TNT has renewed "Dallas" for a third season.
Although last season saw the death of Larry Hagman (J.R. Ewing) and struggled in the ratings -- Season 2 averaged 2.6 million viewers -- the network said itw as excited for another season of drama at Ewing Energies.
"'Dallas' has built a passionately loyal following with its expertly woven storylines, clever twists and turns, and numerous outstanding performances by a cast that spans generations," Michael Wright, president and head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies (TCM), said in a statement. "Although we said goodbye to Larry Hagman and his iconic character J.R. Ewing this year, 'Dallas' has many more stories left to tell, and the Ewing clan will continue to honor J.R.'s memory by keeping its audience surprised and delighted."
Josh Henderson (John Ross) tweeted about the renewal on Tuesday.
Guess what guys... New hash tag for ya. »

The Ewings pulled off an elaborate masterstroke to regain control of Ewing Energies and get revenge for J.R.'s death in the two-hour season finale of "Dallas." It was a testament to what this powerful family can do when they work together. Of course, in the aftermath of that unity, the cracks immediately started to show.
Their target was Cliff Barnes, who'd orchestrated a hostile takeover of Ewing Energies. The long-time foe to the Ewing family was outsmarted by J.R., working from the grave through his brother, Bobby. John Ross married Pamela, securing 1/3 of Barnes Global, while Christopher finally got definitive proof that his mother had died way back in 1989 -- Cliff had been paying off her then-husband to pretend she was still alive. With her will, Christopher gained another third of Barnes Global, and just like that the Ewings had controlling interest in both companies.
Meanwhile, Cliff was framed for J. »

No other show has consistently made me laugh, cry, rail and cheer this year the way that Dallas Season 2 has.
As J.R. did his best to put down one family feud, another grew from its ashes in "Legacies."
It's hard to remember how many times J.R. crushed Cliff under his boot over the years. Is that how Barnes became this soulless monster we see now? Was it the hate Digger filled him with for all things Ewing?
In the end, having revenge against one family became more important than his nephew, his daughter, his own grandchildren - and even his freedom.
He deserved the Mexican prison J.R. sent him to from beyond the grave, but with Cliff's money I'll be surprised if he stays there for very long.
Everyone now saw Cliff clearly. Pamela knew he gave the order that murdered her unborn children and Christopher found »

Spoiler alert! If you haven’t watched Dallas’ season finale and intend to, stop reading now. If you just want to know who killed J.R. Ewing, continue…
Our full recap of the two-hour season 2 finale is on the way (Update: it’s live!), but here’s the twist that will become a part of TV history: The Ewings and Pamela Barnes succeeded in pinning J.R.’s murder in Mexico on her father, Cliff, by planting a replica of J.R.’s stolen belt buckle in Cliff’s safe deposit box and the murder weapon — Cliff’s gun — in the trunk of his car. »

Tonight on Dallas’ two-hour season finale (TNT, 9 p.m. Et), viewers find out who shot J.R.(Larry Hagman), whether the Ewings can complete J.R.’s “masterpiece” to take down Cliff Barnes and Harris Ryland, and if Victoria Principal has returned as Christopher’s mother, Pam. “People know I can’t be bought,” Patrick Duffy says, laughing when asked if he’s been offered bribes to reveal the answers early. “It’s very rare that somebody offers, like they did Larry in the old days. The Queen Mother apparently tried to bribe him. But we don’t get that »

It takes a lot to shock Dallas fans, but seeing Pamela Barnes (Julie Gonzalo) and John Ross Ewing (Josh Henderson) wed in Vegas this week — binding them and their respective shares in Barnes Global and Ewing Energies — did it. “I was sitting on a comfortable couch, and I was reading the episode,” Gonzalo says, “and I literally yelled, ‘What? They’re marrying them already? No way!’ At first, I was like, ‘That’s so soon,’ but now I’m like, ‘That’s awesome. They’re brilliant.’ They’re a great duo and really complement each other.

The plotting and scheming on "Dallas" was reaching epic proportions in a two-hour installment this week. Cliff Barnes thought he was sitting pretty when he bought out Ewing Energies' bank loan. He gave them 24 hours to pay it off or they'd have to forfeit their company to him.
After the hefty government fine, and the shutting down of their oil pipeline, there was nothing the Ewings could do to stop him. But they had a backdoor plan, and it involved John Ross and Pamela. It took him a while, but John Ross finally convinced Pamela that her father was behind that oil rig explosion that had killed her unborn twins.
She convinced her father to give her one third of his company, Barnes Global. Then, in a shocking twist, John Ross told her she had to prove that she wouldn't screw him over again. He then texted Bobby that he'd »

That almost everyone in "Love and Family" doubted those they loved wasn't a surprise - but the final I Do was a shocker.
Drew came clean to Elena and she was furious. He was pleading with her. If Ryland had him beaten in front of his own daughter it wasn't much of a stretch to believe he would have killed Elena and made Drew watch. Unfortunately, his sister wasn't very sympathetic as she snarled at her brother in this Dallas quote...
Drew: You take the job, it's don't ask, don't tell.
Elena: Spoken like a stupid mule. | permalink
The news put Elena in a horrible position. The bomb Drew delivered killed Christopher's unborn children. Suddenly the conversation Bobby had had with John Ross in "A Call to Arms" became relevant for Christopher and Elena. Would she chose her family or his?
In the end, she did a bit of both. »

It was a "A Call to Arms" on Dallas this week,as the Ewings circled the wagons to ward off an attack by Cliff Barnes, Harris Ryland and the Governor himself. The question was, would it be enough?
The Governor was in Harris Ryland's back pocket but he was pushing back as he told Harris his gratitude would only go so far. Wouldn't it be great to watch these jackals turn on one another?
In their effort to stick with J.R.'s master plan, John Ross attempted to convince Pamela that Cliff was behind the rig explosion. He really needed to show her some sort of proof if he expected her to buy it. She'd never want to believe that her father was behind the death of her babies so it wasn't a surprise when she turned on John Ross.
When Cliff swooped in and bought the Ewing Energies loan, »

There are only four episodes left in season 2 of Dallas, with two episodes airing at 8 p.m. Et tonight and two more airing next Monday. “As we get closer to the end, all those balls that we’ve had in the air have to land,” executive producer Cynthia Cidre tells EW. “So there’s a lot of revelations amongst these last four episodes. It’s just non-stop.” In fact, watching the first hour of next week’s season finale, “I told the editor, ‘Give me a moment. Let me go get some water,’ because it’s all paying off,” she says. »

Even though last week’s episode of Dallas made it look as though Pamela's twin babies were flat-lining after the trauma from the methane rig explosion, this is Dallas... so I wrongly assumed there might be a last minute reprieve and the babies would live.
What viewers will see moving forward will be the ripple effects of the losses with not only Pamela, but with Christopher, as well as the man who has been sharing her bed, Christopher’s cousin, John Ross.
During a recent visit to the Southfork Ranch, I was able to talk exclusively with Gonzalo, Metcalfe and Henderson about what the loss of Pamela’s babies mean for everybody in the coming episodes.
For Pamela - who may have had moments of using the babies as a way to keep herself tied to the Ewings - she definitely feels the pain when she miscarries.

On "Dallas," The Ewings are definitely united in the wake of the oil rig explosion, and the deaths of Christopher and Pamela's twin babies. But will they go down together? While it's been fun watching John Ross and Christopher fighting over Ewing Energies, they've come together against a common enemy more powerful than anyone realized. Cliff Barnes in collusion with both the governor and Ryland Harris.
Sue Ellen discovered that Ryland was the governor's biggest campaign contributor not long before the next phase of their master plan against the Ewings was realized. First, the investigation into the explosion by Tesha decided Ewing Energies was completely at fault, fining the company $1 billion. This despite Ken Richards telling Sue Ellen that there were two explosions distinctly heard.
Then came the big one. The Ewings received information that the government had seized the Henderson Well under eminent domain.

Family comes in many forms. It can be gracious and loving or cruel and manipulative. "Let Me In" showed all sides.
John Ross moved back in to Southfork, once again giving viewers the deliciously dysfunctional set up of multiple adult members of a family all living under one roof. It's one of the things that has always made Dallas such fun.
But Bobby was gracious as he gave his nephew a photo of J.R. and John Ross when he was just a boy and welcomed him home. Miss Ellie wanted John Ross to have half of the ranch and Bobby has always respected his momma.
Bobby encouraged the boys to wait for Tesha to conclude its investigation into the explosion on the methane rig, hoping that they would uncover the saboteur. Talk about wishful thinking. Instead, they found that Ken Richards had been silenced, Ewing technology was blamed and »

Damn you, Dallas. You made me cry... again. I wasn't expecting that.
"Guilt & Innocence" allowed the guilty to walk free as the innocent paid the ultimate price, while the ripple effects of the rig explosion went farther than anyone expected.
Very little good came out of the whole mess, but on the up side Bobby and Annie reconciled. Wondering whether or not his wife was alive or buried under the rubble was enough to put things back in perspective. My prediction is that these two will be stronger than ever from here on out.
Which will be helpful when dealing with Ann's daughter. It's not that I dislike Emma or that she doesn't have the right to sow some wild oats after living under the rule of her oppressive father and grandmother... but propositioning John Ross while they were waiting to hear if Pamela and her babies would survive was taking it too far. »

Everyone took a step towards the dark side on tonight's Dallas - but some ventured closer to depravity as J.R.'s death made the "Ewings Unite!" and the Barnes family all but fall apart.
If anyone would have understood the reason for John Ross being late to the reading of his father's will, it was J.R. Ewing. I could hear him chuckling from the great beyond as Emma's last minute tryst featured John Ross sheepishly having all eyes on him because he was the last to enter the conference room.
When J.R. gave Gary his best bottle of Scotch I laughed out loud. He never could help himself from kicking Gary when he was down. That bottle was his final shot. There never was much brotherly love between those two.
J.R. had written that Sue Ellen would always have his heart and that he split his »

Yesterday, the cast of Dallas spoke to TV Fanatic about their memories of Larry Hagman and how it felt on set working on the emotional farewell episode, “Jr’s Masterpiece.” Aside from the flowing of tears, however, the installment also masterfully included oodles of great story...
Are Sue Ellen and Gary going to hit the sheets or just fall of the wagon together? Will Emma have pills And John Ross as her new addictions? And what exactly does Bobby know about Jr’s death?
Who better to fill us in on the big story decisions from this week than Executive Producers Cynthia Cidre (who wrote last night’s fabulous episode) and Michael Robin. Read on for excerpts from our exclusive Q&A...
----------------------------------
TV Fanatic: I’m sure the whole challenge of taking the story from this point on was daunting. Where did you start?
