I blame CBS/Lorimar both for the writing of the last years and foremost the series' finale. It's management responsibility to ensure a certain level of quality. Why did they not replace Katzman at a certain point (certainly after having read the concept of the finale)?It's not rocket science to produce a series' finale. Give us familiar faces and try to reward viewers who stuck with the programme for so long or came back one more time.People certainly did not tune in to watch a different universe in a dream (what a slap in the audience's face).How on earth can you come up with an idea like that? How could management grant the funds for so many returning characters for such a concept?Actually I liked the initial situation with JR at an empty Southfork. But then JR should have found his mojo, getting EwingOil back with Bobby.Then a BBQ at Southfork with many characters - it needs some smart writing as BBG, Howard, Principal were not attending.But it was possible.</blockquote>
