Funny thing about seeing that. In my job, I have to keep track of pumps and wells and we track them by well number. I love it when it's number 23 because I don't even have to write it down to remember it. I just tell myself, "Remember Ewing 23"

It's never failed me yet.

I enjoy it when they film on location. It gives such a sense of realism to the scenes. Look at the pic that Guzzler posted:

the Ewing to Bennett Connection, driving the Texas Longhorns to the SWC title and a trip to the 1970 Cotton Bowl for the coveted mythical NCAA National Championship!

The restaurant is a bit cramped, which would be realistic for a smaller venue. The vaulted ceilings and the stained glass window, along with the opaque glass to the right are very much 1960s-1970s decor.

The owners try to make it a bit more upscale with the vase and the kerosene lamp.

And here is your one minute mystery: We have a tipoff that this is filmed on location and not on a soundstage. What is that tipoff?

Answer to the one minute mystery:

Look above Guzzler's head. See the exit sign that the restaurant is required to post? You wouldn't post that on a soundstage.
It's these tiny details that add up to make the scene "feel" realistic.

Ewing is a Ewing is a Ewing as Sue Ellen often said with bitterness and regret.

Some scenes have even more meaning when you are doing a re-watch instead of a first time viewing.

Leading up to the contest for Ewing Oil, Cliff said about Bobby: "It's all the same, J.R. or Bobby. A Ewing is a Ewing."

Knowing what will happen in the rest of the season puts even more weight on that phrase.
