Digger's Daughter First Impressions

Barbecue", to me is one of the most, if not the most representative episodes of the series.

Definitely the best episode of the miniseries and it holds up well. It’s the episode where we really start to see the dysfunction coming to the surface with most of these characters.

You are definitely right, Jock Ewing Fan.

The people on these boards make coming here a complete joy. The respect shown, even when we disagree, is one of the things I enjoy the most.

Thank You. It seems that you have had better experiences than me. Anyway, it is fun to discuss the history of Dallas

it's the first time the fun, mischievous side of JR emerges.. I'm not sure he even cracks a smile in the first 4 episodes.

Definitely had positive experiences here. Part of the reason is I live in Texas and drive by the filming locations on a regular basis. So I pop in and say things like, "I drove past the gas station in Prosper, Texas where they first filmed Bobby and Pam. Wow! It has changed a lot and they even paved the parking area!
So nothing too controversial.

Unless it's 99 cent margarita night, and you can tell those nights just by looking at my posts!

This is the great part about the evolution of Dallas. J.R. started out as a character we actually felt sorry for. He was stuck in that dark office, under Jock's thumb, and nothing he did was ever good enough for his Daddy.

It was Larry Hagman who brought out the fun, mischievous side of J.R. And I'm glad he did!

Yeah he later admitted that he played the character against type. Where someone would normally scowl or look angry, Larry would smirk and laugh instead which made him look smug and self important. It was exactly the right way to play JR because we loved him for his performance in the role.
