Prime Time Soap ‘Dallas’ Returns [VIDEO]

The prime time television soap opera 'Dallas' is returning to the tube next Summer on TNT. The original series, which aired from 1978 to 1991 is being done anew with 10 episodes reportedly scheduled.

And believe it or not, the new version of 'Dallas' will feature three of the original stars: Larry Hagman, Patrick Duffy, and Linda Gray are all on board. I can't believe that Larry Hagman is even alive, much less able to survive the rigors of actively working.

Along with the returning originals, the series will feature a new cast that includes Josh Henderson, Jesse Metcalfe, and Jordana Brewster.

So JR is coming back to 'Dallas' and back to prime time tv beginning in Summer of 2012 on TNT. If you want a quick reminder of how much fun the original series was to watch, check out this video montage. I'm assuming the clothing and hair styles have gotten quite an update: (via PerezHilton.com)
