On June 13th, Dallas will make its debut on TNT and I think the drama is the best the show of the season. Now I know I have said that before about other shows this season that started to lose their momentum after the pilot screeners that us critics reviewed. But unlike those other shows, I have seen seven episodes of Dallas and I can tell you it gets better and juicier with each episode.
Unlike 90210 and Knight Rider, Dallas includes the original cast and uses them the way they should be utilized in the sequel. Seriously JR is just as bad as he was when he was shot and that is a very good thing. But the show isn’t only about JR and Bobby Ewing, it is about the next generation of Ewings and they are just like their fathers. Also like the original Dallas, this nighttime Soap is very easy on the eyes.
Even though it has been 30 years since the original Dallas aired, the story is the same. Family rivalries, oil, love, money and did I mention oil. It is everything you can hope for from a show that is resurrected on television and more. So make sure to set you DVRs to record Dallas on June 13th because you don’t miss a single second of the best new show of the season. Seriously it is the first time a sequel is as good as the original.
Back in the ’80s people feel in love with nerds thanks to movie franchise Revenge of the Nerds and now two of them are getting their own show on TBS. Curtis Armstrong and David Carradie aka Booger and Lewis will be hosting King of the Nerds. TBS described the show as “television’s ultimate nerd-off. The show invites competitors spanning the full nerd spectrum to come together to face challenges that will test their intellect, ingenuity, skills and pop-culture prowess. The nerds will first compete as teams before moving on to individual challenges, all with the goal of being named the quintessential master of all things nerdy.”
I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to watch the show when it debuts on TBS later this year. Especially because I might know a few of the nerds competing on it.
Dallas 2.0 is still around six months from debuting on TNT, but that isn’t stopping the network for teasing us with a second trailer. With the loss of Desperate Housewives, it looks we got a new nighttime soap to watch. Now let’s hope it will be as good as the show that aired 30 years ago.
Tonight at 9p The Closer is back with a dead high school principal and a coach with several secrets in his house. Is the case a little too close to Penn State or is it something completely different? Tune in to this suspenseful episode that will have you guessing until the end of the show.
Then once The Closer closes for the night tune into to Rizzoli & Isles at 10p where Rizzoli’s latest case is getting some attention for the national media and her mom doesn’t have a problem with who is there covering the story. Bill O’Reilly guest stars as the anchor with the blue eyes that Angela can’t stop admiring.
Even though the case is getting some national attention, there is a huge problem close to home that will put her case in major jeopardy. Tune in for an episode with a shocking end and no I am not referring to what the Fox News anchor does in it.
Both shows keep getting better, there is a reason why TNT Knows Drama with these two shows
A few weeks there was rumor that Marc Anthony and Jada Pinkett Smith were having an affair on the set of their show HawthoRNe and today TNT announced they were not renewing the show for another season. That is one way for the network to distance themselves from those rumors.
BTW did anyone ever watch this show because I never heard about it until the affair rumors started?
