You nailed it! That’s exactly what I was going to say. The characters are complex. There’s so much to love and not like about each of them. For example, Bobby was sweet but he was still a man’s man. He didn’t like Pam working. Even Jock told Bobby to take the weekend off & go to Paris with Pam. But he was too proud to be the tag along to a working well fe. Then there was the complex family relationships- Bobby and JR, Pam & Cliff. Both the Barnes & Ewings had complicated parent-child relationships. I felt for the way Jock was torn between Bobby and JR. He always kept his authority when he talked to them. But you could tell he loved both & wanted to support both. I also agree with the person who said Dallas was written  in a way that appealed to men too</blockquote>
