SERIES PREMIERE: The first incarnation of this series ran on CBS from 1978-91, made Larry Hagman an international TV icon as J.R. Ewing, and defined America abroad as much as anyone or anything else during the Reagan era. And now it’s back, with a new generation of stars and characters – but with Hagman, Patrick Duffy (as Bobby) and Linda Gray (as Sue Ellen) back for more. And Hagman, alone, makes it worth the second visit.
