[QUOTE="Mustard, post: 398417, member: 46"] Larry Hagman knew that Dallas couldn't continue without J.R. Ewing, and most likely not without Larry Hagman playing J.R. Ewing. Larry also made sure that he wasn't in the US when the episode aired on CBS, so it had the brass chasing him around instead of any hint of vice versa. It was played to perfection by Larry at the time. Miss Ellie was a vital part of Dallas, being the landed rock and embodiment of Southfork Ranch, and it would be ridiculous to claim otherwise. Dallas was not the J.R. and Bobby show alone, and we saw what happened in the late seasons when it went in that direction. Dallas worked best as an ensemble piece, all aspects of the family and its business from oil to ranching, and mixing serious drama and soap opera elements. [/QUOTE]
