The TNT Network has decided to give fans a sneak peek at their newly revamped series ‘Dallas’.  The show will air its pilot episode this coming Monday, July 11th at 9pm EST.  Come on, you know your mom used to make you watch it!  So now’s your chance to check out the former 80’s series, modernized for the times.  The cast line up is a plus!

Dallas alumni Patrick Duffy, back as Bobby, and Linda Grey, as Sue Ellen, will be returning to their roots along with The Fast and the Furious beauty Jordana Brewster, Desperate Housewives’ landscaper Jesse Metcalfe and Brenda Strong, Julie Gonzalo from Veronica Mars, 90210’s Josh Henderson, and actor Larry Hagman, the original J.R. Ewing.

With ten episodes already ordered, TNT’s exec Michael Wright seemed excited about the return of Dallas – “It is incredibly exciting to see both new and familiar characters in the hands of a dream cast.  We couldn’t be more pleased with how ‘Dallas’ has come together.”

And while the decision to air a first look is cool, TNT won’t actually showcase the first season of Dallas until next summer.  That’s a long way from now!  If this test run on Monday goes well maybe they’ll amp up their production rate or axe the whole project all together?
