For every television reboot that works, there’s one that fails miserably. The CW’s new “90210″ is now in its third season, while the Ashlee Simpson-tainted “Melrose Place” revamp disappeared after one. The rebooted “Knight Rider” tanked, while this year’s “Hawaii Five-0” is a mega-hit. Now TNT is resurrecting another beloved series of the past—”Dallas,” the very ’80s soap series about a family of oil tycoons in Texas. Rumor has it that Kiefer Sutherland of “24″ and hot Josh Holloway of “Lost” are in discussions to play a new generation of Ewings in the series. Meanwhile, Larry Hagman (J.R. Ewing), Patrick Duffy (Bobby Ewing) and Linda Gray (Sue Ellen Ewing) are in talks to reprise their classic roles. So will “Dallas” work in 2011? Guess we’ll have to see. But I wouldn’t be surprised if we hear about a “Dynasty” reboot any second now. [TV Guide, Digital Spy]
