[QUOTE="Werewillie Oleson, post: 130712, member: 8"] I think the article only refers to season 1, so I wonder if the reviewer has changed his mind about Sue Ellen. Not that I think that new Dallas [I]has to be[/I] [I]better[/I], it just has to be good - and it was. As for the family feud, brother vs. brother [I]versus[/I] cousin vs. cousin: New Dallas had the advantage of JR, Bobby, Cliff and Sue Ellen being a part of [I]our[/I] history, whereas Jock, Digger and Miss Ellie had already lived that whole life before Old Dallas started. And Dallas never had that sense of history that (for example) Dynasty had. Therefore this whole generations thing felt much more significant on new Dallas, although one could argue that this was matter-of-fact rather than an idea created by the writers. But I think they've handled it very properly. [/QUOTE]
