[QUOTE="the-lost-son, post: 297424, member: 672"] Well I think we can agree that the best time of the show was when JR&Sue Ellen and Bobvy&Pam were living on Southfork. The show was never about which one was the better relationship, but who gets the seat at the head of the table. Each soap needs some stable couples (in Dallas Donna&Ray, Ellie & Clayton) whose marriages are less frequently in turmoil in order to leave room for: 1. The romantic couple divided by circumstances - Romeo & Juliet Bobby & Pam filled that corner perfectly. 2. The passionate couple who can't really stay apart in the long run nor together. JR&Sue Ellen delivered that, pure magic, otherwise these constant ups and downs would have been unbelievable. (runner-up Lance&Melissa in Falcon Crest) I liked it that TNT Dallas shifted JR&Sue Ellen now more in the romantic corner. Old feelings and a possible reunion had been insinuated a few times and it was planned to close the 2nd season with a reunion of the two (if LH hadn't passed away). To get back to the origin of this thread: After 8-9 years and each couple having their own son, it's getting increasingly hard for me to accept that they live still under the same roof. The early outset of the series - the sons fighting for their father's approval - got lost both by Jock gone and the time span until then. [/QUOTE]
