But that just would have made it slower. Your idea is the right one; they needed a bigger ensemble and wider focus from the beginning. Knots did a good job of expanding the cast and reinventing the show periodically because it was about a location. Katzman felt the show was about the Ewings only. There was an article published in the paper around the time Pam left, and he said something like, “Our show is about the Ewings and a Farlow and that’s it.” Wrong, Lenny.</p></blockquote><p></p>
