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.

The Formerly Gentle Giant Jermaine Jones Kicked Off American Idol For His Violent Criminal Record

It looks as if American Idol's Heejun Han did not realize he was in danger when he was playing with Jermaine Jones, who appears to have his fists clenched in a fit of rage.

Apparently Jermaine Jones has some anger management issues.

At some point in time, after Jermaine Jones was inexplicably brought back to American Idol after getting booted, to become contestant #13, American Idol's producers learned that Jermaine had concealed his criminal past.

Jermaine was charged with 2 crimes in 2011, one of which involved violence. And in 2012 there are currently outstanding warrants out for Jermaine Jones.

For some reason American Idol's producers do not want criminals on their show.

On Tuesday, or maybe it was Monday, Jermaine was confronted about his criminal record and told this disqualified him from continuing to sing on American Idol. This confrontation was taped and, supposedly, will be shown on Wednesday's (that is tonight) show.

With Jermaine Jones getting a criminal boot, does this mean no one else gets eliminated from American Idol this week?
