TNT STRIKE IT RICH WITH ‘DALLAS’

Back in its hey-day ‘Dallas’ was watched by millions of viewers, but could J.R. Ewing and co. still pull in the viewers with the new re-launched series of ‘Dallas?’ It seems that the answer is ‘yes,’ as 6.8 million viewers tuned in to TNT for the premiere last Wednesday. ‘Dallas’ was ranked as the highest scripted series premiere on all of cable so far this year. As a result, TNT became the number-one network among basic cable Wednesday.
