Those two kids were always being rushed to school, sent out to play, or upstairs to wash up or go to bed. Poor things got about as much attention as a straight man marching on a Pride parade.

I said before, "when do those kids ever eat?" For that matter, why do they even bother with breakfast anyway? JR and Bobby drink a sip of coffee or juice and maybe a bite of bacon and they rush off to work.

Almost every week we would see the Ewings gather at the breakfast table with a huge spread in front of them only to see them bucker for 5 minutes, Sue Ellen say, "Just coffee," the kids be rushed out to school, and the adults all jump up and run to work or town.

I think it became kind of a running gag after awhile. J.R. and Bobby specifically would load up their plates only to eat none of it.

You aren´t gay, are you...?

Sadly no. My life would have probably been a lot less complicated if I was.

Sorry if I did come across a bit as if I were trying to out you (not at all). It was an ironic reaction to your comment because, as the gay people present here know (you know who you are...), lots of gays prefer "straight" guys, even married men, above the clearly "gay" guys (if they exist, of course). Oh and I doubt your life as a gay man had been less complicated...Anyway, I wish you a happy summer.

Everybody's lives -- gay, straight or whatever -- are terribly complicated. Frankly, I have no idea how anybody gets through life (and that even includes straight, rich, white people).
I sure couldn't do it -- and yet I have. And I still have no idea how!
Usually because of some adult drama .... can't they wait till after breakfast to announce Clayton won't be living at Southfork anymore?

the Charlie/Jenna/Ray segment in this clip is positively spellbinding.

Sue Ellen arrives for breakfast looking like she stepped out from a hair salon, complete with immaculate makeup and JR offers, "...you feelin' alright? You look terrible."

Little did we know at the time that adult drama at the breakfast table was the #1 cause of malnutrition among children. Studies would show this later on.
I screamed when I saw Charlie sitting in the rocking chair while Ray and Jenna argued and turned it off. I thought I was ready to watch those scenes again but I’m not.

It’s that way sometimes with great art. Sometimes the experience is so intense and life-changing that it takes 50, even 60’years before one’s system is equipped to handle another exposure.
I am still trying to figure out what Charley did to justify it. Plus why Europe? No boarding schools in Texas?
