Host: Rich Eisen Network: TNT, airs Sunday nights Original Telecast: June 24, 2012 Just when you think every reality show concept has been done to death, along comes something refreshing like THE GREAT ESCAPE, TNT’s uber-successful attempt to get in the reality game. With executive producer Ron Howard and Brian Grazer behind-the-scenes (alongside THE AMAZING RACE executive producers Bertram van Munster and Elise Doganieri), they’re off to a, well, great, start. Mixing in elements of THE AMAZING RACE and FEAR FACTOR, the series is pretty simple in concept, but elaborate and expansive in execution. Three teams of two are taken […]Read On »

Robin Network: TNT, airs Wednesday nights Original Telecast: June 20th, 2012 It takes no time at all for all the power playing and scheming to begin on DALLAS, just like where it left off 20 years ago. Quickly things become apparent that although nearly two decades have passed, very little has changed. There are a few new faces but the game is the same and oh what a game to be played. J.R. Ewing (Larry Hagman) confronts […]Read On »

Robin Network: TNT, airs Wednesday nights Original Telecast: June 13, 2012 It wouldn’t be DALLAS without backstabbing, betrayal and blackmail but this is ridiculous. As the depths of the characters’ relationships are slowly revealed in “Hedging Your Bets” (the second of the two hour series premiere) we see one twist after another, which begs the question, is anyone being truthful? J.R. Ewing (Larry Hagman) suddenly comes out of his comatose state when his son John Ross (Josh […]Read On »

Sue Ellen Ewing is one of television’s great survivor characters. Let’s face it, to make it through eleven seasons of DALLAS, which ran on CBS from 1978 through 1991, plus two telefilms (1996’s DALLAS: J.R. RETURNS and 1998’s DALLAS: WAR OF THE EWINGS), to say nothing of marriage to Larry Hagman’s infamous J.R. Ewing, there’s nothing else she could be. Linda Gray, the actress who so indelibly played Sue Ellen, now finds herself returning to the role yet again in TNT’s revival/continuation of DALLAS, which premieres tonight. In the new edition, developed by executive producers Cynthia Cidre and Michael Robin, […]Read On »

The big question when TNT announced they were bringing back the iconic 1980s soap opera DALLAS a weekly series, was whether it would continue to mythology previously established or do its own thing. At TNT’s TCA press tour, Michael Wright, executive vice president, head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies (TCM), explains that it’s “not a remake or a reboot, but a continuation of the Ewing family.” Executive producer Cynthia Cidre who developed the new incarnation emphasizes this mandate, which is why the new series not only focuses on the next generation of Ewings but brings back […]Read On »
