Features an overheard shot of Dallas Hall and surrounding buildings in the opening credits. Premiere is tonight.

Dallas Hall wasn't in the opening credits tonight - I guess they had to clear some space for the silly bridge...

Yeah, I was wondering where it was.

I honestly don't think I have been this angry about anything since the football team came out in black at the Armed Forces Bowl.

You would think TNT and the producers would go out of their way to highlight SMU with June Jones, Chris Petrucelli, and Larry Brown on The Hilltop now. They are really missing the boat.

Oh well, at least the show is so bad it's good.

Well that sucked then, because the shots of Dallas Hall were featured prominently in the open online. I guess it was filler while they got "bigger" Dallas attractions.

Is there a "bigger" Dallas attraction than SMU? Seriously.

i like the fact that they found 2 billion bbl of light sweet crude reserves in Plano. even more impressive is that the wel they drilled with basically a mobile drilling rig used to drill shallow water wells IP'ed at 10,000 bbls per day! those ewings are pretty lucky people.

speaking as someone who works in upstream services in the O&G industry I LOL'd when I saw the scene of them striking oil in the promo's...not sure why I would take anything else about it seriously if they are going to portray striking oil in the modern world the same way they did in the 1910's

Why would you take anything it it seriously anyway, it is a soap opera.

Junior that was my comment as well. My wife and I had a good laugh over that one. I might try the same technique when I drill my next 10,000 foot well. At least it will help with drilling cost! :lol:

Oh I also enjoyed the "gusher" !

If there was oil in Plano, my idiot friends and I would have found it. I remember when Alma Road was the "West" side of town and Collin Creek Mall was soccer fields.

it's also held at Southfork Ranch, not the AAC. it hasn't raised that much in 10 years. but then again, the chairwoman of the CBB hasn't been discussed as a Gubernatorial candidate ever.

I thought they rotated CBB around to several ranches, but definitely not at AAC
