It looks like TNT weren’t the only ones who wanted to see a new Dallas series. Last nights two hour premiere drew in 6.863 million total viewers, setting a record as the #1 scripted series premiere on all of cable for 2012.

The premiere episodes of Dallas also drew an average 1.926 million viewers in the 18-49 demo and 2.482 million viewers in the 25-54 demo.

Those numbers are up in total viewers, but down in the 18-49 demo, compared to the series premiere of TNT’s Falling Skies  last summer, which drew 5.9 million total viewers and 2.6 million viewers in the 18-49 demo.
