[QUOTE="stevew, post: 248137, member: 130"] I disagree - the entire Big Bang Theory series was based on geniuses and few people were more entitled than JR Ewing - kind of a grown up spoiled brat (mine, mine, mine). I think people love such characters IF they can relate. I for one loved Lucy's character as a teenager in the 80's and I don't use the word love lightly. Daisy Duke, Lucy Ewing and Melissa Agretti - Friday nights was my dream time. Each very different. I will agree the issue for Lucy was the writing - they never let her mature. She probably could have been more like Melissa Agretti if they let her or even more like Alexis Colby as she had every reason for revenge against members of her own family. Imagine the look on JR's face when she marries Jeremey Wendell. Imagine all Jeremy Wendell could have taught her about business and power and taking what she wants. Imagine the character as she grows up and comes into her own. Instead of a dream we could have returned to see Sue Ellen fighting for her life and a season where JR has to confront his life with the woman her loves slowly dying and all the while Lucy marries Jeremey Wendell. One deal after another puts a nail in the coffin of Ewing Oil. Everything Rebecca Wentworth left and Bobby's share of Ewing Oil in Wendell's hands as Pam allies with him and Lucy against the Ewing's. Miss Ellie's final words before she leaves for CA, "It's time you become the man your father was, JR." And Lucy's first words as Mrs. Wendell, "There are worse things than death, Uncle JR." I'd have found that more exciting than watching them start over gain with Bobby back from the dead and slow death they took the show on over the next several seasons. [/QUOTE]
