Dallas Returns June 13 on TNT

I saw this poster for the upcoming re-boot of the CBS classic, Dallas, last night.

At first I was perplexed as to why everyone was in a shower and the reference to "dreaming."

Then I remembered the infamous Bobby in the shower and the previous season was all a dream, Dallas season, that brought Bobby Ewing back from the dead.

I hope the new Dallas is good. I'm not too optimistic. The Dallas series finale was a bad, bad thing. As have been any Dallas reunions.

If the pilot had been good I would have thought Dallas would be back on CBS.

Instead Dallas is coming back on TNT, premiering June 13.

I'll be watching.

If I can find TNT among the vast number of options on my television viewing device.
