Dallas TV show remake Then & now
Dallas Rremake
A cable network  just announced it is gearing up to breathe new life into the iconic '80s TV series "Dallas." Yes, the show has already enjoyed not one but two revivals  since it went off the air in 1991. And that's on top of a whopping 13 seasons  and a spin-off series.

Whatever finally comes to be considered the Golden Age of reality TV, the phenomenon's roots lie in earlier decades. Consider "Candid Camera," which got its giggles by ambush, or "Law and Order," which was among the first to examine real cops in action.

Love Among the Royals

Royals don't get engaged like the rest of us. There may be a ring in the champagne glass or a private beachfront proposal, but there's also the media speculation and the amplified attention of an entire country, and formal events and photo shoots.

In an industry propped up by hits, the programming landscape is typically dominated by misses. Roughly 80% of all new shows fail; about a third of this year's freshman crop won't even make it past January. Figures like these have driven many to question network television's costly model, but none to actually alter it. And so it goes, another season of turkeys, as we've affectionately dubbed the shows that have already gotten the ax or are dangerously close to it.

When most people think turkey, they think of the North American gallinaceous bird we chow down on for Thanksgiving. But here at Wonderwall, turkey reminds us of people like Christina Aguilera and Ben Affleck. Why? 'Cause their major career flops are unforgettable. So in celebration of the upcoming holiday, we're counting down the biggest pop culture turkeys. Gobble gobble!
