To help younger or unfamiliar viewers get caught up on the Ewing saga, TNT, which is premiering its "reimagined" series Dallas in June, recently begun a string of tweets several times a day with hashtag #DallasQuickie. Posted through the handle @Dallas_TNT, each tweet summarizes one of the 356 episodes of the original series in 140 characters-perfect for the youthful, short-attention-span crowd. TNT also launched a Facebook page that uses the new timeline feature to tell the Ewing family story from J.R.'s perspective.
