Don and I got hooked on the new "Dallas" last season...and we couldn't wait until the second season kicked off on TNT this week.

I grew up watching the original series...so I was THRILLED with the story lines and characters who returned from the original show. Jimmy Alexander, Don and I got into the habit of watching the show together while drinking bourbon and branch (JR Ewing's favorite drink) during the first season.

It was bittersweet to watch the premiere of the second season without Jimmy (since he lives in Atlanta now)...but thanks to tweeting and texting...we were able to "chat" through the whole thing. I even created a "Dallas drinking game". I took a sip of bourbon everytime someone was blackmailed. Yeah...I was pretty drunk by the end of the two-hour premiere. LOL...

As most of you know, Larry Hagman (who plays J.R.) passed away during filming of the second season. It's going to break my heart to watch his final episode .
